A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.

sandbags, it looks like we both have the hero complex. I empathize, it's a terrible self-inflicted typecast to put on oneself, but almost irresistible to the psyche to want to be the rugged cowboy hero archetype. Damn you Jung! It cooled off here in Texas after the storm, so we had a little sub 39C air blow in yesterday.

I wrote this short woodwind motif at the time MJ died yesterday. The King played a major influence on some of my more dance-oriented music, so this is my ode to the king.
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
Unlike a lot of instrumental music I hear, this sounds very cathartic. It sounds like it's tapping into something, and channeling it out in the form of music. It held my attention for the full seven minutes..
I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
I think Tenochtitlan in Mexico City..Templo Mayor.. but I cannot remember if they are sculptures or real skulls.. I'm sure they were real skulls at one time :-)
oh.. Capuchin Crypt is in Italy... no have not been but I'm dying to go there someday. Oh crazy skulls! I've seen a similar stacking of skulls in Mesoamerican ruins
Capuchin Crypt? Haven't heard of it.. is this 'capuchin' as in the genus of monkey? I have some crazy capuchin vocal recordings, three species.. they would sound haunting with a bit of reverb.. hmmm
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
Three hours.
No plan.
Halloween.
Thirteen tracks.
Dark but not dark.
Toys used:
Synths: FM8, Massive, Absynth
Guitar: GT-10, Timeless 2, Volcano 2, Eos, BigSeq2
This is a remix of my earlier track [Metaphysical Beat 2](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/metaphysical-beat-2). In fact it's the 4th remix but the first one I'm really happy with. I even found myself trying to dance along to this when I…
Mat and Jodi have been separated by a vast divide in time and space. AND YET! they can still create the distucto! as if by magic.
this track was part made in Brooklyn this morning and afternoon and simultaneously in Berlin this afternoon and…
Another in my series of experiments with the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function.
I used two instances of Metaphysical Function to generate a soundscape that was bounced to audio, chopped up, and re-arranged.
The whole thing was rather…
Yeah boy! This one has the potential to be a real groovin' tune.. even flirts with club (don't throw your shoe at me if it offends you).. I too can here a 4-floor beat jump in around 02:20 or so.. drop off at 03:45 and picks back up right before 04:00..looking forward to wherever you take this-- I'm really liking your rhythmic/atmospheric direction..
Hey! Thanks for the comment! To answer your question, I'm using Ableton Live to roll my own rhythms.. I have a slew of approaches, ... I might draw notes in a piano roll, trigger sounds with a midi controller, or beat box, clap, bang on some dish-ware... whatever gets the job done!
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
Another experiment with the Reaktor ensemble 'Metaphysical Function' only a bit longer this time.
Again Reaktor is the only instrument at work here although it's going through a mastering chain including Space Designer with a very short impulse…

plus some croc boots would be real pimp

Sounds like film music, reminiscent of a western. Right now I'd like to be the hero striding into that storm because it is too HOT!
oh yes, you move, you guuuuuv
highlarious --nice -yess

Scary good stuff!
Really enjoying this playlist , but this one especially kills me!!
Lovely stuff!!
Wow this is great what a journey
great atmosphere, beautiful mixture of notes and sounds. The drums are fantastic.
yummy! Mmm so full sounding! great recording!
woaw. Varese, Ligeti, glu. A soundtrack for dreams.
Oh Yeah- the various mood shifts are really cool! Fav'd
woah, multiple movements, all very cool, is that a subtle steel drum I hear?
yeah, she's all over that beat in the second verse.
why yes, it is so embarrassing that I'd rather not post the lyrics in public.
That was me. -Sister Savagery.
This is actually quite filthy, isn't it?

wow, really like this tune! lovely vox and melody
VERY VERY cool. 11 minutes of awesomeness deserve more than this trite comment. For now, I'll just say: captivating mood. kudos
yes hardrick, it's my spooky contribution. :-)

zombie tombstones! they make great samples! I should get out the field recorder and take a walk this evening!
the new additions are great! definitely groovin' there!
haha love cross continental collaborations :-)
YEAH! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

still one of my favorites
Hi, 'Guest' -- I'd love a piano but for now I'll have to do with Sudara's 15min recording session.
sounds like something oozing out of the strata to take over the city
