Found this one while clearing out the cobwebs prior to the 2011 RPM Challenge. It appears to be as finished as its going to get, sooo... here it is.
In short: a quirky love song for our cybernetic brothers and sisters who dance to a different beat.

Some guy called me back in college when I had a particularly odd outgoing message on my answering machine. He left me a message in return and I kept it all these years, finally putting it to some use.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

@Kirk: Thanks! I couldn't think of how I wanted to lengthen it, so I gave up and released it as-is. (It had been sitting in my "works-in-progress" folder for about 2 years.)
@Sis: He's mostly just saying its a cool answering machine message. Maybe I'll re-use the audio sometime in something else so you can hear it better. :)

This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
An instrumental I recorded several summers ago on a Taylor 110, using Audacity and a computer mic. in a Purdue dorm room. I originally called it "my love," but it reminds me more of looking at a bright day through a window... so... there you have…
Recorded in 2008.
Fuzz guitar through an old DDL into a pitch transposer, recorded in one pass with no edits or overdubs.
Just a minute noodle doodle, really, but it's gonna go somewhere.
Honest!
Recorded in 2005.
The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III).
Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.
Recorded in 2006.
Joe Silence - guitars, beats, vocals
Mark Cook - fretless and 12-string basses
Originally written by Russell Cowser.
New arrangement and additional material by Joe Blair.
Came up with this Before bed last night.
Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...
Live recording
I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...
This is…
Today, the Ableton folks surprised us all with the release of 8.2 which came with a new plugin called Amp. Of course, that meant a bunch of presets to explore...
Without aiming to do anything, I happened on these four presets (played simultaneously…
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Had to do this one on the fly before an open mic night....
Sorry about the quality...
Came up with the song this morning ......
One take... GTR+MIC on one tracks (doubled up), Played live....
Not much time to record music or…
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).
Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
I can definitely hear the Dune soundtrack in this. Nice work on the Reaktor instrument! It'll be interesting to hear what else you end up doing with it.
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.
Comments on Galileo's Cough Drop's stuff
Thanks for the comments! I liked it well enough to keep listening to it, but kept thinking I was going to do more with it, hence the burial. :)
Overheated circuits in action! Very cool piece!
fun piece,,, a very different style from my own,,, it's the kind of music that will clear the cobwebs out me thinks....
I really like that. How come it was buried under cobwebs? Brilliant stuff!
I keep coming back to this one. It's entertaining and creative.
Cool. I actually rather like that the voice is indistinct. But I'm strange that way ;-)
Very dark with threatening overtones. I like.
dig it... perhaps you should put that on your current answering machine and have us leave you messages :-)
Cool! I must try some more experimental stuff like this myself
I am a spy. And this just totally blew my cover. Intriguing track!
Very cool. Love that synth sound, man!
Been listening to some of your stuff, this one stood out the most. great guitar work (midi)? classic mood GCD!

Wow! Great music! Too short!
:)
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, etc.? Great track!
Groovy music and a linguistic mystery (can't make out the words, "lyrics" please!) - very compelling!
Sorry deleted my comment, spelling mistake. I said that this is great to dance to. Let's hear it for the percussion. I'm gate crashing!
Yep, this is still groovin'.
Still a great track!

Lovely crackles in this one. Tons of wonderful textures.
Someone kept ringing the doorbell, but then I realized it was the drummer. +100 points for drum solo.
Billowy. Those sounds layered quite nicely!
Wonderfully relaxing. Love the fuzzy tone!
Listening to this, I'm imagining sparks flying off Tesla coils. Electric!
Very peaceful and contemplative. Enjoyed it!
I can see a whole series of Fazzercize videos being created as a result of this track.
Great background conversation! Lots of fun to listen to this.
Any song about sherpas gets a +1.
Lovely. That plugin is big mojo!
Missed hearing your tunes. Another good one!
Love these sounds! You made a wonderful fuzzy pillow of them.
I can feel vacuum of space sucking the eyeballs out of my sockets even as I type this.
Oops, last comment was from me.
Muy excellente! (And playing with conviction and passion makes up for any lack of recording perfection, IMO.)
Good soundtrack for my vegetative state this morning. :)
Great rumbling texture. Nice work!
Reminds me of the voice of Shodan, the AI in the System Shock series of computer games. :)
I can definitely hear the Dune soundtrack in this. Nice work on the Reaktor instrument! It'll be interesting to hear what else you end up doing with it.
Nice remake!
