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…

there's a bomb in the back
as we head down the tracks
but we can only go so fast
there's a man on our trail
pack of dogs with no tails
this kind of excitement…
This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…
The title came to me as I was listening to the track and was reminded of looking through [Savage's](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) telescope at a starry sky and us being completely unable to figure out how to get it aligned :)
The title itself…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part.
maybe a bit of piano?
lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery!
tik-tok…
This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners.
The instrument is an evolution of my…
Just a simple humble ditty, one of a handful I've been playing on the piano lately.
I haven't been in the mood to do much recording in the last months — or more specifically, haven't been in the mood to flesh out and arrange tunes. So this…
I can so relate. Play pretty much daily but the record button seems to be buried somewhere...
Lovely piece. I almost want for random cafe noises, an espresso machine, some chatter, etc but it's beautiful as is.

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.

sweet sounds, yum yum
Holy fuck. Awesome!
Quite the undertaking and an even better reward.
Really cool (now that I'm at home and not wondering if my ipad speakers were broken :)
Listened many times. Still haven't thought of anything to say. So I'll just leave it at: Kilroy was here.
Frankly, I like this piece as it is. You've left space without the feeling that something is missing.
My (under-educated) ear finds this piece very instructional. Neat.
Fun stuff
Unable to put my finger on precisely why but your recent work is really speaking to me. But why ask why. Bravo.
This is the track I wish I created this weekend. Fabulous.
Love the chill vibe.
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
Like.
nice. Look forward to hearing it develop.
I'm really liking this a lot.
The fun police are looking for you. Very cool.
You're alive! Really neat sounds; look forward to reading about the experiment that brought them to life.
I can so relate. Play pretty much daily but the record button seems to be buried somewhere... Lovely piece. I almost want for random cafe noises, an espresso machine, some chatter, etc but it's beautiful as is.
11 string guitar? is that a 12 string with one missing? Nice piece (and novel tuning, well novel to me anyway)
Dig this a lot.
