Allie - Sundowner

Here is a recording I made when I was stuck in my parents' house between Christmas and New Year in 2009: white and very out of tune. Its the only song I can play on piano and I play it every time I am around one to keep it in my mind. It never changes.

Somehow I forgot that I once took the time to record it and never used it for anything. So I will put it out now before I forget again.

RTN044: CYAN KID & ALLIE "Early Demos"

Cyan Kid & Allie's "Early Demos", a collection of early collaborations and remixes of their solo songs.


Words from Allie:

"It is a collection of songs that date back to 2007, the transition period of our band Team17, which was my brother Cyan kid, Allie and Lutz OK, and the albums we made solo and with other bands since then. In this time, my brother and I worked in several recording sessions in the city of Braunschweig on a LOT of songs at once but somehow got stuck, couldn't agree on the final touches and so we didnt finish one of them. Eventually we ran out of ambition in the late summer of 2008 and since then the songs were lying around on my brother's harddrive and in the corner of our minds.
To just forget about them was something I considered, but all the ideas and work still meant a lot to us. So I am pretty happy and thankful that Cyan kid found the time and energy to start working on them again this year, especially because I did not.
Now they are released and still between demo and song, because they only could have been finished 3 years ago and we missed that chance. But they are put in a pretty dress that they deserve and need to represent all the memories from an important time of music making in our lives.
Florian"

RTN028: ALLIE: “Mimi king”

Allie ‹Mimi King› [12 track lp]

The first album by Ramin Ton artist Allie sees its release today. What is Mimi king?

"It is pretty much the result of the work I've been doing in my room in Berlin since last summer. Some of the songs have followed me around for a long time, before I came to fix and finish them. On some days they pushed me and sometimes they guided me, but most of the time they were just there. A few were gone for a long time without me recognizing (or maybe I just couldnt see), but on some point they all returned eventually."

You can download the album for free or buy it as cd in cardsleeve with 8 pages booklet and full lyrics.

Allie: Nachts zuvor pt. 1 - New album on April 26th

Actually this track covered a long distance. Some ideas of it reach back to last winter and it lay around for a while, was even played live once, but finally turned into a song now. The first Allie full-length, including the sequel pt. II, is coming soon. It's all very exciting. The recording process is still going with 7 songs already finished and about 5 left to do. The release date is the 26th of April. Have a taste:

ALLIE w/ CYAN KID “Beaverchristmas”

As a new winter finds his way into our lives, Allie features Cyan kid for a Christmas song. It's about how beavers spend these rough times, that is to say they have to work really hard and unsafe in the snow to celebrate deliberately and prayerful, like humans used to do in the old times, when it was more about sacrificing and sticking together to get warm and less about being merry.

Guitars & vocals ~ Allie
Theremin & Jingle bells ~ Cyan Kid

NEW Ramin Ton artist Allie

This is the start of a new Ramin Ton artist. His name is Allie. He once went by the name of Riga bro. . This is his brand new song “Little ghostman”. It's a bit about the light hearted boyhood (and its end). .

Ra Saite vs. Bruce Springsteen

When Mr. Bruce Springsteen, a Ramin Ton fan since day one, spontaneously showed up at Madame Priess last week, Ra Saite mixed an older song in the smooth beat Bruce played and Marocco tried to figure out the synth line of Springsteens Oscar-winning-hit "Streets of Philadelphia". Enjoy!

Twenty-four by Riga Bro

This is a brand new Riga Bro song, recorded today, made since the european elections, roughly.
It is about knowing about a creature waiting underneath your bed which frightens you - and often, when you forget about it or argue yourself out of it, the creature lets you see its fingers at the edge. But there are also times when you can go to sleep calmly and sleep tight, wake up in the morning and have 24 hours of convenience. Which makes the issue just more difficult and crazy.
