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…

This is a segment that's going into my piece "The Interview: When Words Fail". It's created entirely from a one second sample of a nervous swallow followed by a mouth click extracted from an interview. Overtones were manipulated to create the…

This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…
very cool collage! Sounds like the soundtrack to a music documentary trailer! And yes, I do wish that I was still living in the jungle! I miss waking up to birds and monkeys in the trees.
Well, there was this Spectrasonics contest... and songs had to be submitted by June 30th... so we finally started working on this one on the evening of the 29th. Yeah. We procrastinate.
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.
"Night vision is the ability to see in a dark environment." Optically enhanced über-soldiers see through the dark, hunting and killing people for some reasons. Now try to take that definition in a metaphorical sense: "see in a dark environment..."
haunting... makes me feel like I am under military surveillance! Listen to this song alone at night on headphones to get the full effect! Nice soundscapes!
Legend has it. . .
special thanks to Legend and tgo from looperman.com for 2 drum Loops that we used for this track!!!

Thanks for the head up on the new tune not working. Should be fine now! Really diggin' your songs. They are catchy in all the right ways! Didn't realize that you wrote these in Feb for the RPM challenge. Nice work, especially for such little time.
We had some people from Remix Fight remix Doctor P. and this one really caught our hearts. And luckily John Ingram graciously let us have it to put up here :) Enjoy. [right click on arrow and select 'save link as' to download]
