maybe a good place to start is 'brainstorms' playlist to check out stuff I've played. It certainly can be difficult navigating through the pages. cheers, and thanks for the question!
I'm not sure what you've heard or not, but I always specify in the track descriptio when someone else is playing something, and I usually list the instrumentation when it's more than synth+drum programming. If all you've heard are songs with samples from other folks then you haven't heard much... the majority of tunes with real instruments are performed by me. You may here me playing any of the following: two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (usually played with a bow) violin, fretless bass, 7 different bamboo flutes, 4 clay flutes, didgeridoo, kalimba, I was borrowing two tablas and a tambourine from a friend but I had to return them. Also play the kitchen sink, keys, pots and pans, hooves and other household items.
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be good at any of these instruments! :-)
out of curiousity...what instruments do you play? I think all I have heard on your songs are samples and other people playing? Not sure because you have so much stuff! cya.
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
thanks everyone for all the thoughtful comments, and thanks Su for privileging me with that wonderful piano performance. @ Drakonis: love the pun haha. The 'ebow' part is an actual bow over electric guitar strings, but I wish I had an ebow- they can sound amazing. @ K. Scot Sparks: man you have some amazing sounds and moods, would love to bring some elements together. Hook a brotha up with some stems!
Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!
Original track by Sister Savage:
http://alonetone.com/sistersavage/tracks/little-england
I added melodies to the initial track and then Sister Savage
rerecorded the vocals to match the new melody.
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
Crunchy slow driving music, almost a claustrophobic feel imparted... the e-bow and intriguing percussion really do stand out as unique elements, and you pull this all together into a very "cool" piece of music.
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…

lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…
Remastered the levels slightly on 3/4/09.
An attempt at a progressive metal-inspired piece with time signature changes.
Moral of the story: Kind of a demented play on Charlotte's Web - if you give somebody wings and they hate your guts…
My big hit, I guess. Everyone seems to love this track. I do too. It's inspired by The Mars Volta's track "L'Via L'Viaquez," but I took things in more of a Pink Floyd direction with the extended synth solo that is evocative of the instrumental…
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
Very, very raw demo for our 09 RPM disc. Drums are a click track & unmixed; needs one more guitar track, eq, channel compression, an honest-to-god mix, etc...

yes. I knew there was a good morning to wake up early this morning! OMG and coffee! I really like the melody when you sing the chorus "gotta hot date." The beat is kickin' as always.
Rather incomplete... let me know if you want me to fix this guy up a bit more. I get lazy when I think that most people won't care about the mix being perfectly tight. I think you can tell enough just from the title.
Work in progress!
Inspired by all the awesome people I know in my cryptology class. I was writing an email and just... had to compose something. There's going to be gitz in this somewhere... but for now, only basic synths and an unfiltered…
glad this is 'currently kicking ass'... it kicks ass! "money, power, obsession, envy..." powerful stuff here, I love how this song is so strong, yet mellow. You guys have a new fan!
This is actually the first song we produced, and the one that started the whole project. It's based around a sequence from the good old Korg Wavestation.
Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline).
If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song.
Now that I have two microphones…
I composed this track as a demo of my sampling project "The First Bulgarian Virtual Choir" some time ago...
I invited the famous folk singer Katia Georgieva to perform the live lead vocal.
