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:

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…

24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"
You can see my 2007 album [here](http://alonetone.com/sudara…
an exposition,traditional of the raga,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly ,dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,with a scenario,as if for film music,which my pieces normally are.
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
excerpts from:
great gig in the guy, honey, russ and them, any colour you hike, drain bemage, elypse
a dream came true for 4 people. last friday (17th of october) we made our first complete run through "the dark side" during rehearsal.
not…

not perfect but good enough to do a 'best of'. for us it's been a magic moment…
Even though I wasn't submitting myself to the 24 hour torture, I couldn't let the weekend pass without posting at least something...
Another Elysium powered track.
And no, that's not really a sample of Darth Vader. Wouldn't want Lucas…
I'm really digging these. Planning on expanding them at all? extending length?.... separating them? I really like the melody at 14:00. what a mood in that one. Why can I only heart something once on here!?
don't be so hard on yourself. Featuring your home-brewed software deserves mad props! I like this track, and I look forward to your release of Elysium. Good work!
A masterpiece indeed. I am wowed, but not surprised. Your work is always amazing. A favorite of many. Are you planning on exploring any of these ideas more? You could easily turn this into an hour long album. Each piece is so well defined and poignant. kudos.
Comments on glu's stuff
hahaha Yes.. swords and coffee beans, the essential household items.. what a bad omission on my part! Thanks!
@ G-man. You forgot swords. You play the swords too :D
