| Aaron Parys | Cyllene Sunset | Electronic, Synth | Electronic Music Track using Hard and Software Synths .. Also made a Video | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D84Jx_bD918 |
| AMUC | Myopic Wanderlust | Electronic, Singer-Songwriter | I'm nearsighted, and I'll often remove my eyeglasses when walking at night. It heightens all the other senses while visually turning everything into an impressionist painting. | https://alonetone.com/amuc |
| Andrea Szirbik Groft | Thank you (a Mother's Day phone call) | Folk, Field Recording | The recording of this song was a bit of a saga. I was waiting to record until later in the month when the spare bedroom that serves as my recording space opened up, but I lost my voice. Then, with literally one day to spare, and finally with a voice again, I went to record only to find out that my equipment is broken. This led to a phone recording and, hence, a phone call recording. I wrote the first half of this song for my mom and played it for her on Mother's Day. I still need to send her the whole thing. | https://soundcloud.com/groft-family-farm |
| as always | lovely | Guitar, Indie | a little ballad of inner resolution and peace between the spaces of tumultuous moments shared and unspoken finding comfort in yourself and in someone close to you. we first formed “as always” over the pandemic, in two separate studios. we have never recorded in the same room together, but writing brought us closer as artists and friends. we collaborate on lyrics and melodies, and our tracks represents a fusion of our musical influences and lived experiences. We hope that this song gives you an intimate look on our lives and brings you into the world of us. sincerely, as always. | https://soundcloud.com/as-always-2/lovely |
| Beyond the Limes | Grey City | Guitar, Pop | This is the sister version of one of the songs from my RPM Challenge EP, but in the jangly, Power Pop style as I'd originally conceived. | https://soundcloud.com/user-429963471-548018532 |
| Black Dragon Fighting Society | Release | Dance | A WIP house track created to get me back into the swing of things after an ear infection and hearing damage | https://on.soundcloud.com/PnVUY |
| Boschendal | Pinko | Electronic, Retro | An old song, reworked in the key of A | https://alonetone.com/boschendal/playlists/boschendal-rpm-2023 |
| Caitlin Piper | Nut Allergy | Guitar, Singer-Songwriter | May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. This song offers a behind the scenes look at the anxiety that can come with loving and caring for someone with a nut allergy. This is my second time recording myself and first time adding percussion. | https://on.soundcloud.com/8sYwP |
| Coyote Senate | Caldera Three | Metal, Rock | I intended to record vocals for this but life got complicated | https://soundcloud.com/coyotesenate/caldera-three |
| David Thorley | Good Grief Alice Cooper | Indie | I wanted to get something off my chest. It sort of speaks for itself. | https://alonetone.com/dalwynth |
| Dee_ | chilling with horrors you can't conceive | Electronic, Dark | This wasn't my original REM track. I was going to record one with spoken word vocals and I got in my head about it and welp it's deadline time so here's another one I started this month. I think it's also pretty good | https://soundcloud.com/k3nnyl0ginz |
| DJ Ghia | Snowglobe | Electronic | Downtempo/Funk/Chillout converge for this track. Using Garageband and Akai MPK mini | https://soundcloud.com/todd-warfield-199541239 |
| Don Von Claude | Forger | Electronic, Experimental | Came up with the lead track first and made some variations of it, then added some beats and with some slight and a few other FX tracks. It would have been nice to add some more stuff in the first part leading up to the break in the middle but it didn't happen in time. | https://donvonclaude.bandcamp.com/track/forger |
| Drone Orchestra | QUADDRONE | Noise, Ambient | Four layered drones, created without consultation | https://alonetone.com/CoyoteSenate/tracks/quaddrone |
| eassae | Lydia Deetz | Electronic | Wrote, recorded, played, mastered everything you hear. All in-the-box. | https://eassae.com |
| Evil Suitcase | Name Of The Game | Pop | Since I had no good ideas, I used some of the songwriting guidelines from The Manual by The Timelords/KLF to come up with my track, although I did go chorus-breakdown-chorus and not chorus-breakdown-double chorus at the end as they recommend. | |
| First Born Sun | Astronaut / Cosmonaut | Indie | Written for Side B of my upcoming concept album. This is where things start going wrong for the protagonist. | https://alonetone.com/Firstbornsun |
| In_wınter | hold | Classical, Indie | longing for a life long gone and a life yet to come | https://soundcloud.com/user-145616674 |
| Kevyspice | Apophenic Daydreams | Ambient, Electronic | Another last-minute electronic goof, thrown together using a couple of Hainbach plugins and a couple of LABS instruments. | https://alonetone.com/kevyspice |
| KV Schaefer | Out Here | Folk, Singer-Songwriter | Original song about being in a transitional place: the hope and excitement for a different future, but before you've been able to fully grieve your past. Returning to songwriting after many years. First REM challenge (among MANY other firsts with this recording)! | https://soundcloud.com/user-104018279/sets/original-music |
| lil bits & the wizards of vomit | the anti-instrument | Experimental, Guitar | This is a collaboration between myself and myself. I started with a live coded backing track as lil bits and filled it with lots of WOV guitar sounds. | https://helpimathrock.bandcamp.com/ |
| Malady of Knots & fencepost | The Price of Greed: Sidoarjo | Experimental, Field Recording | https://lessthanone.bandcamp.com | |
| Matt Manning | As High as a Firefly | Ambient, Experimental | Ambient, samples, amp, microphone, Logic, reverb | https://soundcloud.com/chroma_nap |
| Mikey Hogan | Magpie | Ambient, Singer-Songwriter | This is an attempt at writing a song over a drone. I recorded my Ovum synth playing an F major 7 Chord and started strumming over it. Everything came together from there. I attempted a more complicated cannon at the end but it took away from the simplicity so I kept it just one layer deep! | https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan |
| Nate Monoxide | A Romanticised Version | Pop, Punk | This month I wrote and recorded another 15 song album. The song "A Romanticised Version" is about falling for the idealised version of a person that you never really knew. I've trimmed a verse, pre-chorus, and some instrumental out of this mix so it doesn't run too long for REM. | https://natemonoxide.bandcamp.com/album/redeye |
| PDF Format | Free At Last | Singer-Songwriter | Heart is broken. Wrote it down as music. | https://dineenporter.bandcamp.com/album/fortitude |
| Peter Benson | For Aldous Huxley [DEMO] | Ambient, Guitar | This month I finished recording the album I wrote on spring break in April. Last month I shared the first demo, here's the second! Octave Mandolin on rhythm and travel size acoustic on lead. Cause why not. | https://soundcloud.com/peterplaysmando |
| phog masheeen | Pay The Man | Experimental, Hip-Hop | Another installment into the series "phog masheeen in the underworld." Not so much a hero's journey, more of a travel log. | https://soundcloud.com/mark-a-soden-jr |
| Prince Joseph Dassah | Happy Loner 🌓 | Jazz, Pop | Hey guys, this is a I'm working on releasing on July and it's still in the working progress but it's almost done, just want to know what you think about it. It was the most amazing, thrilling, exhausting experience producing, writing and recording this track. Love it so much. Hope you love it too | https://m.soundcloud.com/prince-joseph-dassah/small-talk-solo-version |
| Roe Rocket | Oolala | Folk, Electronic | One take guitar singing, dubbed with a casio and a viola. | https://ltwokay.bandcamp.com |
| Safest Outbound Sparrows | A Medley From "Fragments" | Spoken Word, Experimental | This is a sneak preview of an EP I'm putting together called Fragments. It takes some of the scrappy little lines of poetry I've written over the years that were too short to be used in longer works, and gives them a home. Also wanted to try something new by arranging a few as a capella vocal pieces! | https://safestoutboundsparrows.bandcamp.com/ |
| Savory Flakes | Premature... | Retro, Rock | some guitars, some ideas, some rehashing, some excellent drum work by Mike K and a gifted guitar track, redo everything else, put it in a bucket. As always, some stuff plugged into GarageBand | https://on.soundcloud.com/BuvuC |
| Schmex | Skinny Vinnie and the Kiss of Death Brass | Rock | Good clean fun. Rodge on drums. Everything else is my fault. | https://soundcloud.com/ro-steiner |
| Spice Rack Collective | Best Friend | Singer-Songwriter, Rock | Leum dropped off some lyrics at last month's REM recording session, to see what the other folks in the group would do with them. Well, Robbie had a couple of guitar parts recorded in his voice memo app this time around, and one of them perked Kevin's ears up. :) Turns out they were a good match. The piano part came about when Robbie thought to try the chord sequence while Kevin took a quick bio-break before laying down another drum take. We're glad we thought to record that keyboard version. :) | https://alonetone.com/spicerackcollective |
| T.Z1 | Mind Right | Hip-Hop, Electronic | feat. Vocals by AAP & Delmar African Wine on freesound.org, beat made in garageband. Extra voicenote fx added in bandlab | https://soundcloud.com/tzonez |
| The Vague Miracles | Daphnis & Chloe | Electronic, Indie | Finally made the jump from GB to Logic. Too bad I'm an idiot... | https://thevaguemiracles.bandcamp.com |
| Thorsten Nesch | Make sure you have a falcon on your shoulder | Singer-Songwriter, Indie | I record & release 1 EP a month, since Jan. 2022. As it turns out folk playlists don't like my distorted guitar and the indie PLs not my sparse instrumentation... | https://nesch.bandcamp.com/track/make-sure-you-have-a-falcon-on-your-shoulder-or-at-least-a-whiskey-in-your-hand |
| Wilsun | My Butterfly | Indie, Singer-Songwriter | Basically a rewrite of a famous song about a girl who was a caterpillar but turned into a butterfly and flew away. Recorded and mixed very simply and quickly using only my acoustic guitar and a 10 year old iPad Air (Gen 1). | https://alonetone.com/wng801 |
