Artist	Title	Tags	About	Artist Link
A Herd of Turtles	I Always Will	Jazz	The REM streak is alive and well.	https://alonetone.com/Aherdofturtles/tracks/i-always-will
Aaron Parys	Grundorian Particles	Experimental	A Mix of Old and New Instruments to create this Track.. Was remixed many times and Special effects added to the Final Mix	https://youtu.be/rasSz3PQzzE
AK. Byr	Footsteps	Rock, Singer-Songwriter	This is a song about helping each other out to make it through tough times	https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/i9BTr
AMUC	Sideband Phantasm	Electronic	Track was composed one-armed.	https://alonetone.com/amuc/tracks/sideband-phantasm
BADCOMBINA	thoughts.wav	Pop, Electronic	Another hyper-pop-ish track from myself. While it does sound like a love song I think it is really about having a conflicting conversation with yourself. Wow so deep!	https://soundcloud.com/badcombina/thoughtswav/
Bastet	G-Shit	Electronic	Nothing super special; I came across NJ's vocals while looking for new material to work with, and I had some stems from another scrapped beat that really fit. Pair that with some new tricks I learned in Serum and "G-Shit" was born!	https://synthemedia.bandcamp.com/track/bastet-ft-nj-g-shit
Big Rips	Like This	Rock, Indie	An uplifting song for those of us with broken brains.
Black Bear Black Sheep	Lights on Forest Street	Indie, Soundtrack	Tried to create an ending theme for a video game that does not exist.	https://alonetone.com/BillyBear/tracks/lights-on-forest-street
Blind Colours	Lightning Scars	Ambient, Experimental	A traditional style jaw harp improvisation with a delay pedal over a drone	https://soundcloud.com/user-291449380/lightning-scars
BukuPanda	Hold the Line (A Thousand Little Cuts)	Hip-hop	I made this inspired by the documentary, “A Thousand Cuts,” about the Filipino journalist—and recent Nobel Peace Prize winner—Maria Ressa, and her company Rappler, who was and is targeted by the Filipino government for its revelations of corruption by government and elected officials and for documenting President Rodrigo Duterte’s murderous drug war. The vocal snippets come from Ressa’s Nobel Prize lecture.
Corb	Replacer	Electronic	DNB neurofunk with fallout samples made in reaper
Coyote Senate	Mountains Like Teeth	Dark, Electronic	Warning: This one gets a little piercing. Headphone listeners in particular, be ready to ride the volume for your own comfort level. Worked backwards for this one, starting with lyrics and moving into a drum machine beat. Then finally guitar and synth and vocals. I really like the way the synth line turned out.	https://soundcloud.com/coyotesenate/mountains-like-teeth
David Thorley	One More Humiliating Climbdown	Guitar	It's been a funny old month in UK politics. I turned it into a love song no one wanted to hear.	https://alonetone.com/dalwynth/tracks/one-more-humiliating-climbdown
Evil Suitcase	Can Do	Pop	I didn't have much REM motivation this month, so I just phoned this one in. Although I did entertain myself while recording it by never using any first ideas I had for parts, sounds, etc. Which resulted in some questionable choices......
Griza	Carrion	Metal	Another seven-minute-instrumental-indesicive-subgenre-metal track.
Jai Mohan	if art is dead then i'm its ghost (demo)	Pop, Indie
KimberlySue	Today is Ours	Singer-Songwriter	I wrote this one quite awhile ago and recorded it on my first RPM a couple years ago. I've switched DAWs and lost the original. Also, its nice to see my recording ability has gotten a bit smoother! This song has stuck with me and I like it a lot. Easy like a chill summer morning.	https://soundcloud.com/user-883663205/today-is-ours-1?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
Lil Bits	Count Down From Zero	Dark, Electronic	-1	https://helpimathrock.bandcamp.com/track/count-down-from-zero
LR Friberg	The Northern Tides	Ambient, Electronic
Luna Ponderosa	Emotional Sabotage Animal	Indie, Metal	unfinished, poorly mixed, but here is Some riffing on steel tongue drum, kalimba, and mbira, then into a guitar-bass-cowbell pop song. Image from craiyon.com.
Malady of Knots & fencepost	The Price of Stone: Medlock Culvert	Experimental, Field Recording
mellow wınter	wıngs of glass	Classical, Traditional	A sentimental gothic short story in music. Kalimba solo	https://soundcloud.com/user-145616674/wings-of-glass
Mikey Hogan - Boys Dressed as Witches	Getting Worse	Rock	This is the 4th project file I made for July and the only one that got finished. It was tricky to keep momentum with this project without repeating myself. Most of this song was written on the keyboard & uke as opposed to guitar because I was getting some elbow pain to pile on to that creative frustration of non-starter ideas. Still I'm happy enough with this song, It felt to push through the creative block with something rather than to sit out of July's REM.	https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan/tracks/getting-worse
Myf	Interlude 1	Soundtrack, Electronic	A soundtrack in the style of Disasterpeace, made after watching his Fez music workshop video.	https://soundcloud.com/myfcat/interlude-1
Oriondrive	Matrix B	Electronic, Dance
Prince Joseph Dassah	reset	Guitar, Indie	It's a fun song that I recorded recently. Hope you love it.	https://audiomack.com/princejosephdassah/song/reset
Salman Ahad	Release Relief	Ambient, Electronic	Didn't have time to finish this but I was inspired by Disasterpiece's workshop on his Fez soundtrack so I wanted to try something using those techniques! Thanks to Big Rips for the ending suggestion to wash everything out in a sea of noise!
Savory Flakes	(it's) Hard To Be Me	Retro	What did I make? Noise I guess with some singing and stringed instruments with guest traps	https://soundcloud.com/user-975931965/its-hard-to-be-me?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
Schmex	Jubilee	Rock	Yippee-kai-yay	https://soundcloud.com/ro-steiner/jubilee
T.Z1	Centralia	Rock	Blues-rock tune made from guitar, bass, drum loops in garageband on an old imac.	https://soundcloud.com/tzonez/centralia?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
The Vague Miracles	Smoke	Electronic, Synth	I did a 5 song EP when I was on vacation. Two of the songs i'm going to use for my next album but I wanted to share the new direction ive been heading. This is one of the five songs...
The Wizards of Vomit	A close up of a dog wearing a hat wearing a hat	Rock, Folk	The title of this track was involuntary chosen by an AI algorithm that tries to describe images by the amount of hats that are worn by other hats	https://thewizardsofvomit.bandcamp.com/track/a-close-up-of-a-dog-wearing-a-hat-wearing-a-hat
Thorsten Nesch	The One I tried to Love	Singer-Songwriter, Indie	This song is from my July album of my 1-EP-per-month-series (started January 2022). I demoed my songs over the last 20 years - now I record them in a shared studio space.	https://nesch.bandcamp.com/album/only-strangers-and-miles-davis
Tribe Of Astronauts	Perroxanthia	Ambient
Umbrella State Broadcasting	Back to the Sources	Electronic, Field Recording	This final version is really a heavily edited version of the original demo, whose haunting quality I could not seem to duplicate in subsequent recordings. My fingering is very sloppy and you can hear the arpeggios slowing down, speeding up, and stuttering, but this quality strangely intriques me. It reminds me of the creepy noises a certain fridge from my childhood used to make in the middle of the night.
