A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.

This is one of several beat tracks for my new piece "Z-Land" for string orchestra, amplified string quartet, and DJ. The full piece will be performed by the Zeeland High School Orchestra (from Zeeland, MI) November 20 at the Baltimore City school…

This is awesome! All the varying timbres work perfectly together.. I'd be glad to explain some of my percussive approaches.. I really go all over the place with my approaches. You use Live, no?

This piece grew out of a project in my digital music class at Oasis Charter Middle School (Cape Coral, FL) back in Fall 2006. I recorded some environmental sounds at night in the Four Mile Cove nature preserve in Cape Coral (the only bit of natural…
This project was done using a minidisc recorder and Sony stereo condenser mic (if it was done today I would probably use a solid state recorder like the Zoom H4), Audacity free software for editing the samples, and Reason software for assembling the field recording samples into beats (if done today I would use Ableton Live for both these steps). Finally I used Traktor DJ software to mix together the various beats that my students made, and their spoken narratives, plus a wildlife LP record to scratch in various bird calls.
The samples of the woman speaking were taken from Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's TED talk, here is a link - http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html
Very nice, Jake. That bass is so intense in headphones! I agree with Quetzalcoatus on the build-up. Can I put this on an alonetone playlist of featured work from the class?
Hey Faith, enjoying listening to this on headphones finally. Great progression of texture and rhythm with the found sounds in stereo. Would you mind if I included this on an alonetone playlist of work from this summer session of Sound 1?
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
I love this track, how simple the rhythm is but how rich it is with the drum and guitar timbres. Build up is awesome, as Sister Savage & kirklynch said. The break to the sustained texture at the end is fantastic.
From the 24 hour album. Began this one 47 minutes into the 24hr session. Listen to the full work here: http://alonetone.com/glu/tracks/glus-24
I haven't touched this track in over two months. What does it need?
Instrumentation: Bamboo flute…
I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.
Working with wet (pre…

re: Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments. wow....nicely put.
What a wonderful concoction.
would be nice to hear the full piece too...
yeah! This is also great! Wish they performed this back when I was in high school!

Interesting track- really creative!

Nice counterpart to the early morning thunderstorm outside.
Great piece Ryan, really beautiful. If you're alright with it, I'd like to put this on an alonetone playlist of featured work from the class.
My favorite track. Would you mind if I put this on an alonetone playlist of featured work from our class?
Counterpoint of layers after the 3-min mark is great. So Baltimore.

I'd like to put this on an alonetone playlist of work from our summer Sound 1 class- let me know if you have any objection. Great synth textures.
nice!
I really like the changes to the drums you introduce after the 50-second mark. Thanks for posting!

Lovely.
Great movie soundtrack!
love the vocal processing and noise elements.
I keep coming back to this one.
Great track! Everything fuses perfectly.
Great textures!
Really like the stereo vocal polyphony at softer dynamic levels in the first section.
So glad I took a listen with headphones!
Great track, Niv. Really chill but energized throughout.
