Priviledge, the two of us here

the warmth of friendship
always too brief
just a give and take between immortals

The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
this was an attempt at making a tune where the vocal melody was nonredundant with the chords (or never found in any of the notes of any of the chords).
Almost succeeded - but it was fun trying.

I know exactly what you mean. I cried when my daughter was married, because I thought I had lost her, but we are even closer now, if that's possible.
This is a very beautiful song, tenderly sung and well, it does it for me. Wonderful!
New collaboration playing a hint of things to come (at least for those experiencing winter right now).
Hope you like this track and check out my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Boris.Shpitalnik
I wrote the middle of this song in Bali, Indonesia when traveling with my wife (fiance at the time) and her family. The other parts are inspired from traditional Hawaiian music. Maganda Isla means beautiful island in Tagalog, one of the main…
Hey Joe,
Thanks for the note. And great to see you on Alonetone! Thats a powerful Hawaiian vibe there! Wish I could whistle like that. You need to put up more of your stuff.
Trust you and Rebecca are well.
Blessings to you both.
I wrote the music to this song while playing around on the piano, thought it sounded nice. But for a long time i left it like that cus I couldn't think of how to develop it.
Then one day i was playing it, and i stopped and saw my dad's old guitar…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
nothing quite as soothing as the sound of open strings! Some nice arpeggios without being rushed. You got a warm sound on the Zoom mics. Enjoyed the listen.
This is my newest song made using Reason 4. Compositionally it might get slightly repetitive but I am hoping that there is enough variation that it will keep the listeners attention through the whole piece. Enjoy and let me know what you like…
My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!

music to remember by - to never forget
just had to listen to your voice again... ..."how many poems about a raindrop and none of em comes close to what it really is" -you got it!
I like the sustained feel on this one - and the melodic integrity - just perfect blues!
This is some powerful stuff, Igor. Moving, and played with lots of passion. The passion is what communicates the most.
i still really like this tune, bro. the groove here is definitely going somewhere
A cheery little tune - the constant bass note resonating throughout creates a unique mix. Lynda must be a very special person...
Wow - this is a change of pace! A great ethnic groove meets techno. Way to go Kev!
