Preview of "Capricorn" (minus parts to be performed live) from Hybrid Groove Project's ZODIACROBATIC, an arrangement of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Tierkreis", 12 melodies of the Zodiac. To be premiered on the Mobtown Modern music series in Baltimore…
thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'm including this one in my next rhythmically delicious playlist of alonetone artists. I always enjoy your music of dancing samples of instrument performances
One in a series of trip hop beats that I am making from samples that I recorded with an ensemble in January, of Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire". Although we never got to play our "Pierrot Redux" in live performance, let nothing go to waste. I dedicate…

letting this playlist loop over dinner was a perfect idea! I'm awed by the production, the layering of beautiful melodies over delicious rhythms.. this playlist is a gem.
Beat created for vocal collaborator Du Yun, mixed with a slowed-down Medieval recorder estampie. Created while dwelling in the suburban wilds of Cape Coral, Lee County, FL.

Erik, this is a VERY impressive website. I am floored by what you have accomplished. I always knew you were an amazing composer, but now you are mind blowingly amazing. Keep up the great work. -Erin (your old interlochen buddy)
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
great record crackle timbre at the beginning.
:45 to 1:10 is the high point for me.
sound gets distorted around 1:10- too much boost in the equalizer there.
like that beat sample around 1:30. would like too hear more of this juxtaposition, and continued cutting up of your main loop.
Welcome to my 300th Alonetone upload! I sit with a pile of books to read in a house full of boxes and my studio is not even completely set up; however, I had no choice but to write and record this tune today once the sun went down. This song is…
well its nearly there. I like to put stuff that I am working on up so that I can listen to it in passing for a day or so, it gives me the chance to hear it with new ears. And maybe get a little feedback/ suggestions. I need to finish the vocal…
Great reverb on those vocals- takes me back to my discovery of my parents' "Surrealistic Pillow" LP at age 7 or so. Love the switch up after the first minute, especially the high theremin-like synth line.
2:45 very nice too.

The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
nice song. i'll have to come back and listen to more.
hey thanks for your comment.
i programmed the drum patterns for "Anniversary" from samples in Reason, added effects in that program as well.
very cool! i would prefer to hear real saxophones though. great texture and treatment of spoken text. the piece seems to end at about 3 and a half minutes. then surprise!
This song was written after moving into a new apartment. One of the movers put a coin in the door hinge to keep the door open so that he wouldn't have to bother me for keys. I thought it was so cool and smart and sleek and simple. I wanted him…
hey could i get an a cappella of this one here?
also i like your idea of building a new beat from chopping up samples of my "Baltimore Celebrates Obama Win" field recording.

:21 the introduction of distorted guitar layer is awesome
maybe an alternate/contrasting pitched loop at around :32 would be good, to continue to build.
nice ending!

yes! love it! Sounds like a fun project. Really like the haunts of those eerie violins!

i like the beats that fall apart and sound like rain. do you do this with a kit or a machine?
this could be the start of something new. the natural rhythms that come from celebration. oh my god. i could listen to this for HOURS.
hi. this track made me love you. talk about being drawn in.

Nice!

Love this one. The wind instrument motifs are great! Beat is super too.
I didn't expect that beat to come in... a nice surprise. The whole piece develops and generates interest throughout.
Cool! Great samples! Nice interaction of all the parts.
Really cool track, Erik.
Very cool!!
I agree with Jw...we finally got it right!
THANK YOU AMERICA FOR GETTING YOUR SH*T TOGETHER!
Music to my ears.

Fantastic recording! Genius!
Change is here for USA and the world!
This must be good for America and of course the rest of the world. Good job.

love the rhythmic evolution at around :20 great light rail sound too.
gotta tell me about your drum production tricks some time. love the sound of the chorus, the bass and the breakdown. sweet.
hey, i was just writing a comment on "Imagine Us". then it disappeared as it moved on to this track. anyway, was really feeling that.
Great reverb on those vocals- takes me back to my discovery of my parents' "Surrealistic Pillow" LP at age 7 or so. Love the switch up after the first minute, especially the high theremin-like synth line. 2:45 very nice too.
Beautiful and brave. Your new ventures with vocals remind me a bit of RJD2's recent move in "The Third Hand"- except I think you have a better voice.
great morning music!
love the use of the field recording with the floating instrumental parts.
Yay, work from Sound I class on a glu mixtape! Great piece, Anna.
reminds me of j dilla. so nice with a glass of red wine.
gorgeous melodic layering, perfect garden of timbres.
nice song. i'll have to come back and listen to more. hey thanks for your comment. i programmed the drum patterns for "Anniversary" from samples in Reason, added effects in that program as well.
A soundtrack for the Twitter Generation ;) Very interesting evolution as it progresses.

Hey would I be able to get an a cappella or two from you? Feel free to work with any of my beats up here as well. Thanks for listening!
gorgeous sampling, great beat. i love the little surprises you bring in while still maintaining the groove.
wow, this is fantastic. just keeps getting better.
