Eddie SidsThe Sound of ThinkingElectronic, ExperimentalLP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)I made an electronic album out of disfluencies (uhs, ums, you knows) and silence between questions and answers from interviews that I did for a larger project called Weird Music. Some of the percussion sounds I took from things like finger snaps, cups put down on tables, etc. This is kind of the third album in a thought process of turning non-musical sources into music.United States of AmericaPennsylvaniaPhiladelphiahttps://eddiesids.bandcamp.com/album/the-sound-of-thinking
Jared SpryQuick SaveExperimental, JazzEP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)I've never made more than one song at once, so with my trusty saxes and DAW I came up with five tracks all heavily inspired by the band Moon Hooch and others. The whole thing was created by me sitting in my tiny bedroom with my laptop and mic and just playing and editing whenever I had the free time. Maybe people will like it, maybe not, but I made this album for me to show that I can make decent music from start to finishUnited States of AmericaPennsylvaniaQuakertownhttps://jaredspry.bandcamp.com/album/quick-save
Missed OutMissed OutRock, IndieEP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)I set out to document this transitional period in my life from young to middle adulthood and fatherhood. Everything was written and recorded in my guest bedroom/ office at home. I made it for me, my family, and my friends.United States of AmericaPennsylvaniaPittsburghhttps://missedoutmusic.bandcamp.com/album/missed-out

Savory FlakesFading MessagesRockLP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)10 songs plying the depths of what can be done from scratch in a short period of time with the world swirling about and trying it's best to undermine simple happiness.

spaceboxAscensioAmbient, DarkLP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)Ascensio is a dark ambient record about making change in life. Going through all of the steps of realizing something needs to be different, breaking things apart, building something new, and moving forward and evolving.

Best listened to with the lights down lowUnited States of AmericaPennsylvaniaPhiladelphiahttps://alonetone.com/spacebox/playlists/ascensio
