This is the first song I uploaded to share on the internet when I first donned the name Alpha_Alpha. Thanks to fellow 'lonetoners and SoOn friends Norm and Vaisvil for contributing to make this song really special!
Lyrics
The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless
such that it is written,
went where and windly
with pentacles of pie
like know our way
down the screem
when we find what it
is that can been and be we of their
2 tracks of hobnox…
very inspiring and inspired.
and i don't know if you've updated it while i was playing this, but on the 3rd listen, the noised background (xps, maybe?) was gone.. intentional?
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
@ Norm: honestly so do i. i was a bit disappointed by their EP, actually.
and you might wanna surf around, there have been made some seriously good remixes, highly creative..
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.
very good 80s feel, groovy & poppy! - you might have a few extra lengths, and i wasn't really thrilled with your log/metalic drums part, as they don't add much and even take the groove down a bit..
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..
This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…
Written and Recorded June 5/6, 2010
Details: No-name lap steel (FCFFCF),POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity.
A quick little improv. Too lazy to grab a guitar so just used the lap steel. I think it still has the same strings on it from…
thanks for the listens, i know 10:30 is little over the usual playtime, compared to most productions.
@Neb: it's part of a bigger project, in collaboration with other artists, such as C.Vaisvil; and it is about telling stories, or more about having a story-telling approach of some science explorations and progress
@Sisters: nope, all synths, LFOs and VCOs :)(actually, a few Discovery & Zebralette)
My performance on video (see "more") at the odd music convergence with words by Evan Harrington and myself.

ensnaring! and oddly, i "prefer" the audio-only version. not that the video harms it in anyway, really not, but i find the piece more intense, when only focusing on sounds.
Comments on Alister Flint's stuff
that last comment was me, sorry no log in :)
This is a very well composed chill out, I like the vocals. drifts you along without even knowing it.
this is the music of peace and serenity
wonderful - beautiful touch!
Very Nice!
A fine performance. Lovely........
sitting on top of my hill overlooking the north shore of Oahu with the moon shining over the water, this piece couldn't be more perfect; beautiful
Really quite beautiful!
Very cool, ice cool.
Simply. Beautiful.
very,,, very,,, nice,,,,open and expressive,, a very full sound,, well done

Great effects ,well done.
Beautifully understated. I sure that your better worse half loves you all the worse better for it...
very lite and breezy, the percussion is really great
Flawless production! I am inspired :) this is my favorite track so far.
Beautiful. Excellent sparing use of the bass and background vox. Sounds frickin' sweet.
this is a nice summer tune. this would go well with a sunrise.
thank you guys! @Norm: yep, la clava indeed. and i got the idea from your grooves, actually :)
Really nice, relaxing already.

interesting glitched triphop, but it feels like you're holding it back.. too bad..
so nice.. feels like a gentle summer breeze! and another great collab..
excellent.. it goes in so many directions and yet so well balanced all the way! great collab'!
@ Norm: honestly so do i. i was a bit disappointed by their EP, actually. and you might wanna surf around, there have been made some seriously good remixes, highly creative..
it simply sounds so authentic.. and this part, at 01'00", is brilliant!
very good 80s feel, groovy & poppy! - you might have a few extra lengths, and i wasn't really thrilled with your log/metalic drums part, as they don't add much and even take the groove down a bit..
+1 on Neb's comment.
excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..
been humming the main motif all morning long.. - and i thought, some vocals would be great on this, something of Tom Waits, or CharlElie Couture..
something of C.Twins' Lorelei.. excellent sound, would make a great intro for a longer piece..

fun little tune, clean prod.
nice vocals, definitely worth a better recording..
surprise indeed, and a good one!
