| Artist | Title | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| am/fm dreams | Full Report | A new song that just came to me one day. I wrote it and recorded it in one take on the iPad in about a half and hour. It's about love as a subject vs. object. Whatever that means... | |
| AMUC | Omerta | I was breaking in a new microphone this month, and made death growls happen. =) | https://alonetone.com/amuc/tracks/omerta |
| Blind Colours | Morning Sequence - Sleepless Pastorale | This is a scene from a new-wave-like movie that only exists in my head | https://soundcloud.com/user-291449380/morning-sequence-sleepless-pastorale |
| Dandy From Home | On My Own | Wanted to make something a bit more energetic. | https://soundcloud.com/dandyfromhome/on-my-own |
| David Cooper Orton | Bird Song | An avian melody, half-heard one morning in the garden just before coffee | https://alonetone.com/dco/tracks/bird-song |
| David Dineen-Porter | Kepler 70b from Holst's The Exoplanets | Holst's the planets but for exoplanets and vintage 70s french electronica | https://soundcloud.com/user-566351058-306778477/kepler-70b-from-holsts-the-exoplanets |
| David Thorley | Procedural Court Dramas | I don’t often write songs with a chorus. Here’s one about imagining you’re a TV defence lawyer. | https://alonetone.com/dalwynth/tracks/procedural-court-dramas |
| Diana Bailey | Young | I accidentally wrote an almost 6 minute dance-pop song because I was so grateful not to be 20 | https://alonetone.com/dianabailey/tracks/young |
| Echogun | Interstellar | More cheesy spacewave! This was made mostly through Komplete, which I bought at the beginning of the month. Not really sure what I came up with, but hey, I got it done. Something something fingerguns! | https://echogun.bandcamp.com/track/interstellar |
| Evil Suitcase | Sign Painter | No clue where this one came from, but I recorded it in the retro style it required! | |
| Jai Mohan | beloved (lovely killer) | A devotional song to Apollo, god of music (among other things.) | |
| Jai Mohan | Garden of Light (Sword of Light remix) ft. Jeremy Willis | Most of the mixing and recording for this (aside from samples of the original) were done while in a garden in a local park, hence the title. | |
| Jeff Burchett | Midsummer | A meditation on summer and transience for the solstice | https://jeffmakesnoise.bandcamp.com/album/midsummer |
| Jeremy Wills | What Does Love Do? | I did not plan to do a track for the REM challenge, but when I finished this, I realized that it was composed and recorded within the month of June, 2021, so I was like "what the heck, might as well." This is a sneak peak at my new EP of unused ideas from LINT, which will be finished soon. | |
| Jeremy Wills | Jai Mohan - Home (Remixed by Jeremy Wills) | A remix of the song "Home" (Jai Mohan) | |
| Joel Glenn Wixson | You Can Fly | This song came to me in a dream. It seems to be about the amazing transformation that happens when we die, specifically for folks who lose precious memories as they get older. We try so hard to hold onto what we think is important, then we remember we can fly. | |
| Junting | Happy Bap | A joyful modern boom-bap thing. Drums are a bit loud, and could use better mastering, but this is stlil probably one of my best and happiest songs. | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2cuVXTvgMBOu59ARsf2alQ |
| Luna Ponderosa | Warming/Plume | https://siralfrediv.bandcamp.com/track/warming-plume | |
| Luna Ponderosa | A Second Second Skyline | Track exchange Here's my ludicrous take on the masterful Second Skyline from Blind Colours. I couldn't approach the original's great guitar work and arrangement (like a lost Ventures-in-cowboy-hats soundtrack),so I came at in arcane ways. I ended up stripping most of the melody, and set it to silly 808 samples and cheesy effects. | https://soundcloud.com/tonyhogard/a-second-second-skyline/ |
| Magic Bullet | Pigman Cut | A fourth 35 minute epic for the Record Every Month Challenge (fifth if you count the RPM Challenge before it),for which we apologise to Elling Lien and the team profusely. It's quite hard to come up with a reasonable edit of such a long and variable work without it sounding a bit disjointed, but we've done our best, promise. This month, we raided the garage for a rattle gun, also known as an impact gun or wrench. Some of the sounds used are original, albeit beautifully edited, and quite recognisable. Some have been stretched, effected and/or manipulated, as is our way. The title, an anagram of 'impact gun' (we like anagrams, but not as much as Skit likes power tools, you should hear his version of John Cage's 4:33!),was inspired by Charlie Brooker, who in his annual 'review of the year' show, aptly referred to Donald Trump as an 'experimental pig man'. We couldn't have put it better ourselves, so we didn't try. We would like to dedicate this track not to Charlie (but thanks),rather to Little Baby Don, coz it would annoy him much more, though probably not as much as the accompanying graphic... | https://alonetone.com/magicbullet/tracks/pigman-cut |
| Marilyn | The Newfoundland Disaster | Original Newfoundland Country | https://Alonetone.com |
| Mikey Hogan | Photos | Lots of ukes and a sad story. I wrote the seed of this last October and recorded and finished it this month. | https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan/tracks/photos |
| Neil Nebula | Just In My Head | https://soundcloud.com/neilnebulamusic/just-in-my-head | |
| Newfoundland Electric Symphony | Interstellar Release | A keyboard tapestry of time signatures, ostinato, and interesting peaks and valleys. There is a hearty amount of tribute to Igor Stravinsky here. I was thinking of Earth. | |
| Omama Othman | SFG | https://alonetone.com/omama/tracks/sfg | |
| Salman Ahad | Scheme Away, Ol' Chap | Having just fallen in love with the music in Loki by Natalie Holt, I opened up my laptop to make something mischievous in that vein and then all of a sudden this bop of a TV theme song came together and now I really wanna see that TV show come to life just so I can use this somewhere! | |
| Salman Ahad | Beast Ghost by Jeremy Wills (Remixed by Salman Ahad) | So I finally got a chance to cover @LINT 's experimental track called Beast Ghost and that was one hell of a challenge as a first time cover I didn't know where to start so I thought in order to stay true to the nature of the cover, I didn't use a single external instrument and made instruments and patches solely out of the original track using Slate+Ash's Cycles, which is a sequencer and granular synthesizer umm, it's definitely noise that has a bit of movement so not sure if it qualifies as music, but here it is for anyone looking for a real departure from whatever it is that they were listening to | |
| Savory Flakes | (everything) | Where did the month go - surfing the psycho cybernetics, hundreds of words written, scramble - plug in the faithful Casiotone 202, no live drums but a song of some sort. Hope it isn't over mastered, my last 2 have been over the top! | |
| Schmex | The Other | This is part Aye, aye, aye of the miscellany trilogy. I recorded it on a Tascam DP-008EX 8 track recorder. (I'll be so glad when I get a decent audio interface so I can use Reaper...) | https://alonetone.com/rosteiner/playlists/the-miscellany-trilogy/the-other |
| TeeKayEn | I don't want to be lied to | I wanted to make a garage song for this month instead of another instrumental piece. My voice is weak but I had a lot of fun trying something different. It's not to serious and hopefully will kick off my magician feud. Next, jugglers. | https://soundcloud.com/t-k-n/i-dont-want-to-be-lied-to |
| The Wizards of Vomit | Do Not Forget to do Laundry | Each week I take one day to record music and do laundry. Usually I get to consumed by the music and forget to do laundry, so I figured if I title my song cleverly I will not forget. Turns out I still forgot. | https://soundcloud.com/user-480855336/do-not-forget-to-do-laundrey-1 |
| Twilight Sleep | Faded (excerpt) | A less than grand exit, wandering into the darkness to the sound clinking glasses and distant roaring laughter of forever and time. | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztQsyv2d0Qk&list=PLjEwT93HOAIplEh_yy_PMAuzuz4cV7UGy&index=2 |
| Walter Noons | It Was Almost Like Forgiveness | I wrote, arranged, recorded and produced this song. | https://www.reverbnation.com/walternoons |
