Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
A meditation of sorts.
Arose from experimentation with a technique described here

This is a single take with a bunch of reverb added after the fact in Reaper (also an experiment…
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
Each time I sit down to learn something about Logic, I end up getting distracted and creating some kind of track...
This one uses EFM1 -> Delay Designer -> Live Cut
Some drums through similar craziness
and finally me playing some pads and…
The band had all gone home, and I was left mixing what we had accumulated over the last few months of work on what is to be our "final" album. Things felt over. it seemed like we had reached a saturation point, where we had driven the car as far…
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
done back in 2006, in my old dreary toronto apartment (i dislike toronto i think).
i don't really like it that much, too repetitive, but i need content up, and others have commented on their enjoyment of this particular song.
Unfortunately, I cannot show the video that accompanies this on here, but I may upload it to youtube and link to it at some point. It is an edited video of a run-through of a haunted house.
Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers.
all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers.
For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A
A,Bb(A#),C,D,E,F,G,(A)
I'm human....I bleed. I guess i need to remember that....I'm not superhuman and I won't save the world. The opposite usually occurs...I am swept away in the bleeding of my mind, the bleeding of my heart, my desperate needs and unholy wants…
This is my 3rd home recording. I dug it out again and cleared the moth balls.
"Tart it up a bit" as Sis would say.
I found out that if you rub a strat the wrong way, it will talk back to you. I tried many times to re-create this guitar work…
Comments on mmi's stuff
like spinning wheels moving in sympathetic patterns...shifting constantly in jerking motions
sproingy mess, like an exploded machine...very haunted too, saturated and claustrophobic.
Fantastic… where are you?
This is very meditative and cool. Seriously beautiful - wow, I would love to sing to it (I actually am while I'm listening).
Nice. Atmospheric.
Very good
Great atmo in this one!
I see waterfalls and landslides...
sweet
Amazing! Really pulls you in
beautiful work.
Very cool!
Hells to the yes! I didn't know that cerebral convulsive melody was represented on alonetone.com! I need more of this in my life
Very cool!
that's pretty fricken incredible....
Nice sounds
Dig! A groovy funk. I like the ambiance, the beat, the attack. You done good. Rock on!
This is sweet!
Totally dig this number. The effect eats me up. Dig that beat! It's all juicy, man -- Rock on!
Le sigh.

flute + ebow = magic
Yeah, next time I'm in Valles Marineris, Mars I'll definitely be coming to your gigs. Great stuff.
Found some good nuggets in them thar hills.
You've been listening to too much Thom Yorke/Radiohead. Not that there's anything wrong with that :-)
Diggin' it. Spent some time this morning listening to Yo La Tengo and this is fitting right in (hope you're not offended by the comparison).
You may not like this but I think it's a special track.
Magnum opus. Wow.
this just might be scarier without the video. good thing it's the middle of the day here
Wonderful!
Pardon the French but this is fucking awesome!
Perfect addition to my pre-caffeine Monday morning.
One of these days I'm gonna come to the Rock, drink heavily and revel in sounds just like these.
almost perfect for this particular maudlin morning
Glad I stumbled onto this. Great track.
Intense battle or intense hip-hop... Could go either way :-) Minor theory nit. Shouldn't the second note in the scale be Bb?
Wow, that's some special fooling around.
Very very cool. But I didn't have you pegged as a reggae fan. Ya think you know someone... :-)
Holy crap. Glad I didn't listen this last night.
A voice to melt the coldest of hearts.
Thanks for putting this up. 'nuff said.
