Sweet Meet Re-post
by Tom Anthony on Aug.07, 2010, under Re-post
Back in October of 2008 I posted this fun little ditty called Sweet Meet Blues – thanks to some hacker two years later I find myself re-posting the entire Open Source Music Project site files. I noticed I never uploaded the track stubs – the individual music tracks used to mix this song in the first place.
Since that is the whole purpose of the Open Source Music Project – I thought that qualified this song for a re-post. I know my music has evolved a lot over the past two years – I think for the better – but I wanted to stay true to the mission of this site… so hear we go again with Sweet Meet Blues!
Storm of Love
by Tom Anthony on Oct.03, 2008, under Music, Re-post
This is a song I wrote about 20 years ago to and for the Mother of my Daughter. It has words, but I’m not ready to sing quite yet.
I was so frustrated earlier this week trying to set up my studio so I can record music I had to buy myself an early birthday present. It’s a digital recorder made by Boss, which in turn is owned by Roland, the same company that makes the synthesizer I use. (It’s a Roland Fantom-S BTW… see more here ) What an unbelievable difference in sound quality.
So here is the first recording on the Boss BR1200 created within four hours of opening the box, reading the instructions… O.K. reading a few of the instructions, hooking up the audio cables from the Roland to the piano and from there to the recorder. Plugged in my headset so as not to wake the neighbors – and came up with this version of Storm of Love.

Note: I consider this a re-post since back in 2008 the individual track files were posted as MP3s . That messed up iTunes and a random work track would be posted to the podcast.
Ticker Tape

Album Cover 1979 Angel Station
Here are two versions of a song called “Ticker Tape”. The first mix is a little rough and the second one is more produced – I like them both. We all get our inspiration from somewhere, and for me this song was inspired by a Manfred Mann Album - Angel Station – not a specific song – just the feel of the whole album.
Angel Station is unique in featuring a six-note descending theme in most of the songs on the album, woven skillfully into the context of each song in a different way. You can read more about Angel Station here.

Note: Originally (Sep 27, 2008) I posted both these cuts within the framework of the podPress plugin for WordPress. Either I did not understand how that software worked or it did not work – so iTunes posted a random version of this song. I have since discovered that if I post only one song to the blog for iTunes to see it works a lot better – so if you are interested here is that alternate version of “Tickertape” mentioned above, please feel free to download the cut labeled “Track 1″ below.
