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…

This is a song from a year or so again - from my CD "jiguma dreaming". It features Alf Solti on keys, Thor Oliversen on lead guitar, Anne Cozean and Jan Porter on backing vox, and me on Fender precision bass, Telecaster, Seagull acoustic, vocals…
Awesome! What a cool collaboration. I really like the dynamics throughout the song. I really dug what my parents listened to, and it has helped shaped my music (although you wouldn't be able to tell from some of my influences).
Post some more tunes!
The harder remix of a song I did together with my sister.
It's called the dirty mix because I have started working on it again after the crash, which means I'm layering on top of some mp3 bounces I had lying around :-)
I'm still aiming for a good…

C'est la vie indeed alloy! I feel you! Nice work! This just reminded me to activate time machine! I had a similar crash in 07... now I try to back up religiously. I Feel you.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
This track is very cool. I can hear a glu beat in there ;) I checked out the vid you posted http://vimeo.com/1684094 very cool looking program! Looks like endless fun!!!
this file doesn't play well anymore! I hear a static-like noise and the pitch wobbles. It's the strangest effect. I have no clue why this is happening! It does this on both FF and Safari
This song was recorded for the independent film documentary, "It/ll be better tomorrow, the life of Hubert Selby Jr.". Sadly, it did not make the final cut, but it will always be a favortite of mine.
We were supposed to comprise a beat across at least 3 tracks from individual sounds. We were also to explore sampling. The first beat and the fast drumming beat (towards the end) I made entirely, but I sampled the second section drums and the…

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

Are you a member of the band Chk Chk Chk now?
300? this. is. spartacular"!" the complex rhythms and languid singing and synthesizer washes take me away. 0x0

cool, I'm glad alloy <3 this song, it's been awhile since I have heard it. This song sounds like a strike! (is that the right bowling terminology?)
love it! I agree with Sister Savage, a bit melancholy.... perfect!
04:10 is dope ;)
C'est la vie indeed alloy! I feel you! Nice work! This just reminded me to activate time machine! I had a similar crash in 07... now I try to back up religiously. I Feel you.
Odd. in the best of ways!
woah! This is different! I like it a lot. Especially at the first minute.
hellzyeah! This is nice! I like the beat mixed with the guitar melody. Nice combo! Is that a clarinet I hear?
this is smoooooooooth too!
very smooth!
i love this!
Hell yeah! Very cool track!
This track is very cool. I can hear a glu beat in there ;) I checked out the vid you posted http://vimeo.com/1684094 very cool looking program! Looks like endless fun!!!

Mic Doja keeps it real and from the heart. I really like the piano melody in this one!
damn sweet music, man!
nice song, and very good quality live recording!
woah this is really nice!
beautiful and peaceful! Nice 'rough' mix!
