love the sound of the slowed percussion each beat seems to shake...sounds like musical devastation the twisted sounds in the silence after something major just happened...an earthquake or Tornado...with a man in a Pink Tuxedo running around crazed in the wreckage looking for his lost Bride.......
Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
My Life has Become
I have all of these memories
That come on back to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what I should do with them
Out of nowhere they cover me...
Like a breaking beam of light
Like the star dust in the night
Like…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…

Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)

Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…

I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.
I put together a patch of 6 oscillators using frequencies 198, 210, 220, 228, 230 and 280. I recorded the piece interactively playing as I felt them by triggering. A previously recorded loop often playing in reverse was also used. Produced…
starts out with a hint of Ludwig and becomes full on contemporary classical. Really like the quiet part at ~2 with the sustain pedal down. I don't know why - 3:18 started to echo Gershwin for me though it really doesn't sound like his style. Overall its a really nice piece with a multifaceted set of moods and thoughts - I enjoyed this very much!
This is really an intriguing piece as the song writing is somewhat Beatlesque with a totally modern sound. I love this even more than the previous view into this piece.
No one's left
and I'm afraid
I've got no choice.
I've got it made.
But I've known for a very long time
that I can't consent to the shape
that I've been assigned
without a chance to really define...
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

Wow...goin' OUT! Love it...T-rex meets Tom Waits for a beautifully gnarly blues-brawl.

Beautiful! Love that tuning!

Most enjoyable bluesy collab. Cool vox from Reg.
Enjoyed the jazzy feel given by the sax. Super cool collab.
A really good song.
Nice Jam! One can almost imagine this all happening at one time
Pure and True, Awesome power through your finger tip's..and deeply deep... Makes me feel like I need to find myself somewhere that I've never ben...

Cleverness as usual.
Trolls ate traxinspace?! That's sad. Intriguing piece!
Absolutely beautiful!
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!

I like your music very much - it's dramatic and compelling!

great music, it is like a speech. Prodding, pleading, shouting.
nice vamp!
Such a huge expanse is painted here!
A cool microtonal experimental piece!
This is beautiful!

I really like how unusual this sounds
beautiful in its sadness
really well done!
this may be long, but it isn't empty. I really, really like this one!
it opens like a hurdy-gurdy! Your layering is so orchestral - wonderful work
This is cooler - the SE-02 seems to be quite a nice synth~!
love the runs in this piece! Very powerful!
awesome!!!
I'm in awe of how you make these pieces every week. This is excellent contemporary classical music. I agree with Bill, beautiful ending!

Lola has my respect. What synth was slept on?
