THERE ARE SAMPLES OF THE ENTIRE "WALL DREAMS" ALBUM ON WWW.JOESTONEMUSIC.COM TO PLAY WITH ON THE MUSIC PAGE. You may also buy the album on the CONTACT & PURCHASE page. Also, please check out my original songs and covers that were played live on Youtube. I am an independent musician releasing my first real recording here on the internet, after lots of frustration dealing with record companies. This album was made for only $1,000 (not including equipment) at a home based studio in L.A. The music is alternative/rock led by the piano but harpsichord, wurlitzer, and synthesizers make their appearances as well. I am hugely influenced from soundtracks by Elliot Goldenthal and Goblin and many more. My first 14 songs are pretty somber this time out. I think they are best to listen to in that soundtrack frame of mind. Feel free to create your own melodrama movie in your head. The album "Wall Dreams" deals with the themes of monsters (the human and the other kind) domestic turmoil, lost loves, lost lives and ends with the song "Pensacola" which is lyrically just a fluff song that is deigned to end the journey in a safe place. People are a lot more responsive to the lyrics than I expected (in a good way). Each song has its own voice. Growing up in Florida (gateway to whatever the hell it is) and in some pretty bizarre circumstances gave the inspiration for the material which pretty much speaks for itself. Please recommend it to your friends if you think they'd like it and please keep piracy down since I am still a starving artist. My second record is already done and will be released soon. I delved into percussion on that one and more piano acoustics. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think. Many thanks from me and my demons.
