A Herd of TurtlesSnow CrystalsJazzWe wanted to start off our REM project with a holiday feel original. The sound was inspired by a poem my daughter wrote when she was 9 was we use in the intro. We recorded through Audacity and used no sounds other the the bass and piano.https://alonetone.com/Aherdofturtles/tracks/snow-crystals
AMUCBefore The FrostElectronicI was able to get through one song without it thematically turning into nightmare fuel. (It's a Christmas miracle!)https://alonetone.com/amuc/tracks/before-the-frost
Big RipsRosemerry ChristmasPopTIME TO BUM EVERYONE OUT: Christmas Bonus Challenge - short song about my grandmother that passed just after Christmas last year.
Big RipsSmockinRockThe chorus was inspired by a lady in an SUV smoking with her windows up screaming at pedestrians legally crossing a street (among other people). The rest is just normal depressing stuff.https://bigrips.bandcamp.com/track/smockin
BogStompBarflyRockA simple story about drinking in a dark bar and listening to the wisdom of my fellow barflies.https://alonetone.com/bogstomp/tracks/barfly
ChalicesCakePopI want this to sound perfect bc I have SO MANY FEELINGS and it would be great if I could channel them into art without any hiccups but MIXING IS HARD.https://chalices.bandcamp.com/track/cake-rough-mix
Chris SextonOrfeas dreamRockWrote a funky little riff and then kept expanding, the bridge has to be the best bridge I have ever written = ) ran out of time to finish the lead guitar work as I would like it.https://soundcloud.com/chris-sext0n
Dandy From HomeI Can't BringElectronic, RockMy feelings toward this song swing wildly everytime I hear it and it's a miracle it ever got finishedhttps://soundcloud.com/dandyfromhome/i-cant-bring
David Cooper OrtonCarillon Canticle - Variation 2Classical, Folk, World, & CountryIntended as a variation based on the folk melodies known as Carol of the Bells, and ultimately entirely nothing like the source materialhttps://davidcooperorton.bandcamp.com/track/carillon-canticle-variation-2
David ThorleyChristmas Songs and Unlit TrainsPop, Folk, World, & CountryI really thought this was a funny idea, and had no inkling it would come out so unremittingly bleak. I hope all R.E.M-ers had merrier christmases than this one.https://alonetone.com/dalwynth/tracks/christmas-songs-and-unlit-trains
Evil SuitcaseEvery Day Is Christmas Without YouRockI was doing a Christmas song anyway, so I used it for this month's tune. I'm nothing if not lazy. Had some help on the drums and backing vocals from friends.

Jeff BurchettRumbleElectronicThis track is a departure in style for me - very retro, electronic funk, reminiscent of a mod tracker sound, filled up with samples.https://jeffmakesnoise.bandcamp.com/album/rumble
Joel Glenn WixsonMoving OnJazzIt's just a silly song.
Luna PonderosaPlay Me OutFolk, World, & CountryWith lyric informed by a late night last month when we had to euthanize our ancient cat, I played this simple tune on my second worst guitar.https://siralfrediv.bandcamp.com/track/play-me-out-2
Luna PonderosaWhat's Under The Tree?ClassicalHappy solstice! Here's a little impromptu, with my best wishes for reflection and growth in the coming year.https://siralfrediv.bandcamp.com/track/whats-under-the-tree
Magic BulletA Soluble Symphony (1st Movement)NoiseNew Years Day, for most folk, follows a week of unbridled excess, the large 'special' celebratory meals, all that rich food, all those sweet extras, and possibly even a drink or two (no, really)! We figured that after all of that, the ONLY thing anybody would really want to hear from us would be the comforting 'plink-plink-fizz' of an indigestion or hangover remedy, gently doing its thing in a glass tumbler full of hope. I recorded Skit (hangovers),he recorded me (indigestion),and we lovingly weaved those recordings into a four movement symphony, the first of which is before you now. No special effects, all au natural, everything you hear was achieved with mixing techniques alone. The Magic Bullet, keeping it real... https://alonetone.com/magicbullet/tracks/a-soluble-symphony-(in-four-movements)
Mikey HoganSome Call It ChristmasPopI wasn’t going to write a Christmas song but Salman talked me into it. I got a lyric idea to sing about the excessive waste of the season and the song grew from there. I'm not perfectly happy with every single lyric but I'm pleased I stuck to "Some call it..." all the way through to the end.https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan/tracks/some-call-it-christmas
Rob ParkerCold ComfortRockBad edits, sloppy playing, bad singing, bass is mixed too low... So pretty good overall.https://alonetone.com/robertjames1971/tracks/cold-comfort
