love the percs. And clever sampling cuts. The quiet hold loops are especially neat. Really neat tunes. I take it you like ableton live to be demoing to friends, eh?
Doctor P. the The Doctor of Philanthropy. At least in the realignment of belief structure and philosophy. or something like that

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…
We're deep in the glitch mines again.
This time with a beat developed in Stylus RMX, a "melody" using Soniccouture Skiddaw stones and Tonehammer Frendo, and a bass from Soniccouture Abstrakt Bass.
The beat was fed through The Finger with…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
It starts out with trashcan drumming.. makes me want to move! Then it evolves with all the rhythmic synth layers... I likey.. If you are passively looking for input, I'd recommend thinking about how to utilize more negative space to emphasize that trash can rhythm at parts...I think you do this in a different way.. in sections rather than throughout the track.. and well, my recommendation comes with a big fat disclaimer... I tend to want to hear the wall of sound layers deferring to tribal beats :-) , Maybe gate or cut out parts of those polyrhythms on certain beats. I like the grinding end too.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting.
Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…
yeah love the percussion and general sentiment about mad men. Thanks for the warm Ohioan welcome... I'm excited to finally live in a state where the leaves change colors every year! What's this thing called seasons?
@ noëlle-- thanks! Glad you are enjoying the tunage! If you are interested in more music made with animal samples, check out the bioelectrophilia playlist, made mostly from samples I recorded in the Peruvian Amazon last year. http://alonetone.com/glu/playlists/bioelectrophilia
Thanks for listening!
This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back.
* Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums
* Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth
* Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
hahaha. no can do, Bethan.. it was designed to make it drop! :-) maybe I should write a disclaimer? I heard it also causes listeners to spill their drinks ;-)

Damn.. it makes me want to throw this book across the room and hook up the studio proper.
