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…

[glu](http://alonetone.com/glu) and [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) pop you one new skool. Their second collaboration. The first was ['back to the cold'](http://alonetone.com/sudara/tracks/back-to-the-cold-warm-mix).
Remix it! The source…
check out Sudara and glu's collab. I especially like Su's vocals in this tune. We spent a week or two shooting the track back and forth until we were satisfied enough with the mix.
nice and thick bass. the break around 02:20 and the glitches a few seconds thereafter.... nice work! The song wasn't even recognizable until you threw in a tiny sample "I'm still alive" haha. nice work.
i started writing this song 5 years ago and finally recorded it this year. sad to say, but my $$ situation isn't that much different. this is a whiny song from a liberal-arts grad who is a brat and can't really make ends meet in NYC.
i definitely…
i should rename this track... there. it became the sound track to a short film i produced called "Ztileeb". a film i'd be happy to share with anyone should they wish to see it.
i've often used self recorded ambient sounds in my tracks. this…
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
yes, stuck in my head too. This track is great, and not just because the hi-hat is a nano-second of an elephant vocalization ;) Well composed, performed, recorded, produced, remixed... more please!
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

wow super tune! Soundtrack material! I love the lead string melody.

Beautiful! I love the combination of strings and triangle synth delays. Nice layering!
I see a school of neon blue fish feeding on a reef. There goes a jelly fish. Nice work!
