Aw, glu! Man. I've been missing out on your excellent output. Sorry to be absent from alonetone so long. (Been working my a$$ off.) This is terrific. Listening for the elephant...love that whispery, swishy rainy sound that motors through here. Great atmosphere.
I recorded four minutes of bird life in a bamboo patch during my last day in the Amazon.
I arranged the string section with single note samples of cellos performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra.
The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good

It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper.
