@@256ROOFERS I’ll try that soon!

@@256ROOFERS Thank you!! Very much appreciated.

Thank you for giving this a listen! Most of my videos are overly drawn out jams for fun but this was my effort towards a live performance. Your feedback inspires me greatly to practice dozens of songs I could perform like this.

A part of me always regrets posting these drawn out and unplanned jams cause people probably rightfully think I might know what I’m doing putting out a 12 minute song that should be 4 if I ever practiced them. The rest of me knows this is why I created TONE. Always flawed one track recordings, lately with pre recorded loops on the ol Boss RC-300 to ease transitions. It surprises me that I don’t get more dislikes or negative comments. I’m just here to have fun.

@@jonmichaelgianvito9521 Thank YOU! I’d never played it like this but having fun with inspiration can work wonders.

Haha I am now and I love it! Your depth of musical knowledge is inspiring. I’m rather clueless, like flakes in a snow globe that can look kinda cool but have nothing real to offer. Have you been writing any music lately?

@@SOLOTONEI try lol. I got 4 hours of recordings that I’ve carved down to like a 30 min playlist. It’s too many covers for my liking but I was thinking of putting it here so I can move on. I wanna start fresh. Less covers.

@@shawnlennon1947Let me know when you post them! I’m following your page so it should show up for me either way. I hear you on covers but they can be satisfying.

@@SOLOTONE will do! hey do you publish your stuff? I know we don’t get millions of listens but I always wonder if it’s worth doing. It isn’t very expensive I don’t think. I wouldn’t spend money to push my stuff but I feel like all of my favorite artists do it.

I almost got a distrokid account when I put my tape on here. I get so excited though that I usually go with the fastest cheapest easier route.

Thank you!! Instruments and some vocals were recorded in 2016 but somehow it took me 8 years to get myself to finish it. Interesting to have vocals on an album span 8 years. First two songs were 2016, 3 and 4 were a few years later, 5 was years after that, Strange In Every Way and Unresponsive were this year, etc.

@@SOLOTONE Your loops and improvs you post are sick, but it’s cool that you can hear your work more edited down and polished. Your daily seshes conditioned you like the Beatles playing Hamburg and it shows for those takes. I’m jealous of some of those clean ass guitar parts and compositions in general. Also, Don’t remind me it’s been 8 years since 2016 😂. That went by quick.

@@shawnlennon1947 Thank you again! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I lost focus and patience for recording albums in 2017 then started making the full loop setup in 2020 to have fun and it taught me a lot but also held me back a lot, especially with drinking involved. I’ve got 2017 and 2022 Another Branded Lawrence albums to finish and polish to get away from the repetitive nature of loops so there is more coming! TONE was made as a live loop channel for fun but it picked up more traction than Another Branded Lawrence ever did in 16 years and 9 albums.

@@shawnlennon1947 www.reverbnation.com/164118/album/1177 if you’re bored sometime, this is the album I think you’ll enjoy.

Comment layout seems like AI, but I’ll bite. It was about 21 hours on the river over 3 days. Day one was 9 hours on Pine River to Peterson Bridge South Campground, skipped to just after Tippy Dam on Manistee River for day two and paddled 8 hours to our dispersed campsite. Day three was about 4 hours to Manistee and the lakeshore.

It was a great time for sure. Really cool floating through Manistee at the end and floating out to Lake Michigan.

Acknowledged

I agree! Though I can’t say I ran with this sloppy jam. I rarely practice songs before recording them, usually just come up with the loop parts and wing the rest. Not a great habit but I feel unrestricted doing it that way. No anxiety, just feel it out and maybe it’ll sound alright.

Thank you! I really appreciate well thought out feedback and I promise I don’t deserve the thought you gave out to give that.

I appreciate it! Glad you could look past the sloppy unplanned parts.

Thank you!

Such a good point! I have barely scratched the surface or fixing gear but it’s something I’d really like to learn in detail.

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it through the many blemishes. Made up most parts, didn’t practice, and I kicked the wires apart in my kick pedal the song before and didn’t realize.

I appreciate you. I’ve lived in my sister’s unused and unfinished basement since January of 2020 after a bad relationship. I was drinking a lot when I built that kitchenette but everything past how I attached it to the wall and installed the inner sides is pretty legit. Those two major things just made everything else more complicated, but it’s solid as a rock. All the cheapest pine plywood and cheap pine 1x’s. It was nice having the bathroom right on the other side [of a 6” thick concrete wall] to run plumbing through and tie into the bathroom vanity for the sink and electrical is all fed from a GFCI plug I installed when I moved the floor outlet to above the counter.

@@SOLOTONE bro I live at my sis rn too. Issues around covid/ the hurricane rendered me and my kitty without house. Mad sisters out there saving brothers in our generation it seems lol. She’s like one of my best friends and practically raised me. I didn’t have a lot of my own friends to hang out after school so she’d bring me to hang with her friends. I remember feeling so cool cause I knew the kids 2 years older lol. Anyways. In conclusion, We gotta cherish our sistas 😂

@@shawnlennon1947 Couldn't agree more, my friend. I'm really sorry to hear about your situation but glad you had that support afterwards! Things can always get bad, but they could also be worse. Glass half full! And that's coming from a pessimistic hermit.

www.reverbnation.com/anotherbrandedlawrence/songs Just wanted to share a time when I actually wrote and recorded songs instead of constant loop jamming

Thanks man! Such an incredible album that I didn’t even realize until 2006 and the admiration has grown ever since then. I’m so sorry for your missed experience. That kind of thing leaves a hole, but your love and respect is what keeps him present after life. There’s solace in that.

So much appreciated! They’ve inspired me so much since I was introduced around 2003. My covers are never correct but are pure influential fun as tributes.

Haha I made that hanging platform for fruit storage, then I wiped out half my kitchenette to expand play space. Priorities…

Thank you! Old MM songs are my favorite to do live loop versions of.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Modest Mouse was my favorite band for years and I’ve had a lot of fun jamming out versions of Tiny Cities, Dramamine, and Broke.

Thank you! I have a lot of fun with a few Modest Mouse songs.

Thanks man! This was a runoff improv jam from my song Red Lights from 2005 that I did a loop version of and it was all luck and feel. I have so many posted examples of bad improv jams, someday maybe I’ll wanna write stuff again. TONE is basically all 5% written and the rest is a free for all, for better or mostly worse

Thanks man!! I use a Korg ES-1 Electribe Sampler for consistent drum beat/tempo but I think it's fairly easy to tell when the drums are live/live looped (starting at 3:16 here). The vocals are live looped, I have the mic on a channel selector pedal to either go to the end mixer or to the pre-looper mixer. This was recorded after midnight with headphones only, it's wild to create this much noise while making the [near] minimum. Also, blast from the past you mentioning that game! I remember renting that from a video store way back!

Thank you! Just havin some fun.

Thank you! Sometimes I get lucky with these live loop improv jams. I did cut bad sections out of this though.

Thank you!

Thank you! Instruments, isolation, and inspiration are my favorite combination

Thank you! Just wasn’t ready to stop. Rehearsing isn’t my strong suit.

Thank you! I wrote this over 10 years ago as a tribute to that soundtrack.

Thank you! Zoom V3 vocal processor on harmony

Thank you! Been listening to a lot of Tool lately. I rarely write songs anymore, I just come up with a starting loop and jam what I feel for fun.
