| A Herd of Turtles | A Pro Never Ruins A Safe | Jazz | The song title was taken from a quote by a professional safe cracker hire bY Bristol CT to open an old town safe. After figuring out the combo the bolts was so rusted the the safe wouldn’t open. They drilled a hole and still the bolts wouldn’t budge. After banging the safe with a hammer it finally opened. He made arrangements to come back and repair the safe instead of disposal. When he was asked why he was going to repair it he said, “A professional never ruins a safe.” | https://alonetone.com/Aherdofturtles/playlists/a-pro-never-ruins-a-safe/a-pro-never-ruins-a-safe |
| Aaron Parys | Flunky May | Experimental | Exploring some Experimental Funk Sounds ... Many Mix's , Re-Mix's ...Ok Done Enjoy!! | https://soundcloud.com/aaron-parys |
| Amanda Fagan | The Girl Who Lost Her Grip | Folk, Pop | The girl who lost her grip is a song about loss and grief. The singer struggles to grapple with the loss of her soulmate. She's unsure of how to move forward and go on in life. All of the happy times felt like they went by too fast and now she's left holding onto every piece of the past she can find. She dwells on the thought of the life she thought she was meant to have and people sit by and watch as she slips, unravels, and loses touch with reality. | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtcmYub9f1U |
| AMUC | Mime | Electronic, Experimental | Sort of nightmare fuel this month. (Sorry! I'll do some polka next month to make for it, but please don't hold me too that.) | https://alonetone.com/amuc/tracks/mime |
| BADCOMBINA | Unpredictable [2205] | Pop | Unpredictable has had a long journey this month with I think seriously three very different variants being made. This version really felt the most true and powerful. This song is really just a battle of my own mind wrapped in a meet-cute pop song. | |
| Bay Mud | Old Dogs, New Tricks | Electronic | It all started as an experiment with Euclidean sequencing, as per a challenge from the Deluge users community, but some guitar samples were accidentally loaded in and I ran with it. | |
| Black Bear Black Sheep | Tell Me Tell Me | Electronic, Hip-hop | Just a little chillwave beat | https://alonetone.com/BillyBear/tracks/tell-me-tell-me |
| Chalices | miss ya--demo | Indie, Singer-Songwriter | dedicated to my dear friend who always encouraged everyone in their art. he listened to my first rpm project and gave the most thoughtful feedback I've ever received. recorded on my iphone | https://chalices.bandcamp.com/track/miss-ya-demo |
| Coyote Senate | Still the Ocean | Ambient, Electronic | A texture piece using synths and distorted guitars. Mostly created in-the-box during downtime at work. | https://soundcloud.com/coyotesenate/still-the-ocean |
| Dandy From Home | Old Ghosts (Demo) | Folk, Singer-Songwriter | I finished my semester (1 more year to go woo) so now I'm working on a follow up to my RPM record, this is one of the songs that'll be on it | |
| David Thorley | Cool Guys | Folk, Indie | A simple song - this one pretty much speaks for itself | https://alonetone.com/dalwynth/tracks/cool-guys |
| Evil Suitcase | Give Me What I Want (and Nobody Gets Hurt) | Pop | I was lazy this month and didn't want to tune and mic things, so I let the machines do most of the work. Also used a guest vocalist, Patricia Wake, so I didn't have to sing. Machines went sort of electropop, as they are wont to do. | |
| helpimathrock | theintergalacticmanifoldsabc | Experimental, Electronic | The abc from the intergalactic hyperplane. Made this with tidal cycles. | https://helpimathrock.bandcamp.com/track/theintergalacticmanifoldsabc |
| Jai Mohan | come and find me | Experimental, Classical | ||
| KimberlySue | Cicada | Electronic, Indie | I recorded this earlier this month for a thing for SoundCloud. I like it, I hope you like it, yeah. | https://soundcloud.com/user-883663205/cicada?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing |
| Luna Ponderosa | Capriccio No. 2 for Unprepared Piano (with Reluctant Dog, Inconsiderate Viol, and Cardinal) | Field Recording, Classical | A bit of rule-breaking, since I included backyard recordings prior to this month, but otherwise in the spirit of REM. I should play the piano more, but it's downstairs (so is the dog) in the art studio and my recording rig is upstairs in my lair. Keys plunked. Dog unimpressed. Violin treated and manipulated. Cardinal just doing his thing. | https://soundcloud.com/tonyhogard/capriccio-no-2-for-unprepared-piano-with-reluctant-dog-inconsiderate-viol-and-cardinal |
| LycanSong | Don't Leave | Indie, Singer-Songwriter | Composed and recorded on stream, decided to submit it to the fedivision song contest as well (didn't get in the top 5 but got some compliments that made my day). As always, done in Ableton with VSTs and my voice. I think I used Dubler2 for a bit of it, which is fun. | https://soundcloud.com/acapellawolf/dont-leave |
| Malady of Knots & fencepost | The Price of Stone: Eilean Munde | Experimental, Field Recording | ||
| Mikey Hogan - Boys Dressed As Witches | Grind My Teeth | Blues, Rock | Another Song in open D using my guitar. The lyrics (and whole arrangement) is fairly straightforward. Despite (or maybe because of) the song's simplicity, it was hard work to get something recorded that matches the stoner-blues vibe I have in my head without sounding too contrived. Did I succeed? Not sure but I had fun at least. | https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan/tracks/grind-my-teeth |
| Myf | Overcast | Soundtrack | Soundtrack for turbulent times, made with Spitfire LABS Strings | https://soundcloud.com/myfcat/overcast |
| Savory Flakes | Since We're Here | Rock | A laconic investigation of first love . As usual, experimenting with space and open sound. Almost went over the self imposed 3 minute mark! | https://soundcloud.com/user-975931965/since-were-here?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing |
| Schmex | KHR | Rock | My vote to keep hard rock. | https://alonetone.com/rosteiner/tracks/khr |
| Songs By Request | I'm Tired Of Writing Love Songs | Indie | When you're fed up... | |
| Staticsan | Slow Ambience | Electronic, Ambient | A slow. measured atmospheric vibe with a thundering beat to keep it steady. | |
| T.Z1 | S T O N E C O L D | Hip-hop | Instrumental hip hop beat made from some garageband loops and bandlab fx | https://soundcloud.com/tzonez/stonecold |
| The Irregular Decagon | The World is Falling Apart | Indie, Rock | The song 'The World is Falling Apart' was written as an expression of pain, but as well, a glimmer of hope. I went with original vocal takes because so much pain was released during those first takes. Every sound on the song has been created with the solfeggio frequencies, and also is tuned to the 432Hz & 444Hz frequency. For musicians, I reached out to creative people around the world to help me create this song. As for the video, I wanted to create a psychedelic experience with important imagery for the 3rd eye. | https://soundcloud.com/user-255483966 |
| The Vague Miracles | Uvalde | Classical, Experimental | I wrote this other song that was nearly done when the stuff happened in Texas. Being a teacher, it was really hard. Especially because I have one that age. One night I couldn't sleep and this came out. Picture related. | |
| The Wizards of Vomit | Off-by-one | Indie, Rock | i like playing the guitar | https://thewizardsofvomit.bandcamp.com/track/off-by-one |
| Thorsten Nesch | Keep Your Tears | Indie, Singer-Songwriter | I record 1 EP a month. The songs I have written over the last 20 years. Ongoing project. | https://nesch.bandcamp.com/album/brothers-for-a-while |
| Umbrella State Broadcasting | Pentheus [First Half] | Electronic, Experimental | The first half of Pentheus. The finished product will be around 8 minutes long. | |
| wınter | vrba nad morem | Guitar, Traditional | This is a solo guitar piece inspired by a dream I had a long time ago | https://soundcloud.com/user-145616674/vrba-nad-morem |
| WXO | The Discourse (A New Beat Edit) | Synth, Pop | A year ago I made The Discourse as a response to a toxic twitter drama adrenaline rush and now this month, I wanted something cool to solo over with my fun synth machine. I added some texture as well. I had a lot of fun. | https://wxokeys.bandcamp.com/track/the-discourse-a-new-beat-edit |
