Wow you have such a way with that sound. Its beautiful! The tone is mesmerizing. This reminds me of something from The Liquid Tension Experiment. Great song!
very nice track. hey man, I had fun with the Reichatron but my ancient computer couldn't handle giving up any more disc space so I had to uninstall it. I thank you and Sandbags for helping me get that thing going in the first place. I want to use the Reichatron for a part of my RPM work. We'll see what happens there. Keep up the good work.
This track started with an accident.
I started building a pattern in Elysium. When I was happy with that, I recorded a bunch of it with Live. I loop recorded with quantization. When the thing looped around, I realized that Elysium was still…
Okay - I'm glad that I'm organizing my comic book collection, and have myself trapped in a corner of my apartment to the point where I can't get to my computer to shut off the Alonetone feed, because I'm hearing some really awesome stuff tonight over multiple genres, including this one with a mellow electronic vibe.
Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake.
That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:
0:00 - 1:30 = Living…
ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).
itunes->preferences->playback->Sound Check
is the thing that is taking the quiet mp3 from garageband and upping the volume (it's probably normalizing; meaning it scans the file for the loudest part of the wave and adjusts the volume such that that loudest bit is at 0dB - or some other set loudness)
Little known thing in Garageband... Track->Show Master Track
Now, click the info button (bottom right). You'll see that you can apply all kinds of mastering presets here. Try some out.
Congrats on the audio interface.
Of all the days I had to get up super early, it happened to fall on the first day of spring. Also known as (fingers crossed) the worst day of spring.
I spent part of the early morning digging my car out from underneath the ice and snow. Later…
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.
"
At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees
made ourselves a bed out of leaves
and in the…

I don't normally repeat myself, but when I sat down tonight…
Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.
I was…
I just finished reading Citizen Vince by Jess Walter and at one point in it the protagonist meditates a little on hearing people speak without listening... nevermind, my brain is just connecting this track with the musings of that character.
Today sucked.
I had been working on a longer post to explain it. But I'll basically just sum it up as follows [*ed. note:* consider that this was the *shorter* version. Haha]:
* I live in a part of town where noisy neighbors are a problem…
This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…
My first serious/non-serious effort on the [Everyday Looper iPhone app](http://www.mancingdolecules.com/everyday-looper/).
Stats:
* 100% recorded through the iPhone
* probably 95% iPhone headset mic, 5% internal mic
* 98% my voice, 2% my piano…
Hmm. I guess I'm not a Husker Du superfan cause I don't get the nod (all over Bob Mould's solo stuff but that's another thing).
Regardless, lovely piece.

Sit back, get another cup of java, oh yea. this is sweetness. Nice job M.
such a beautiful piece of music. and an intriguing title too.. would love to know what the inspiration was
I'm loving the way this is slowly developing at about the 5 and 6 minute marks. I'm still jealous of your clean guitar sounds!
Nice...very inspiring.
Tranquil...iser... Beautiful!
Tasty stuff!
You have a style all your own M. I like that. My compliments to the chef.
This is exceptional Mr.M. I was wondering if the electronics is the Reichatron?
I like how this flows along.
Nice one .
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi.
I don't know from chord progressions but it sounds pretty good to me!
I don't see what needs re-recording but you know best. Really good, can't believe how quickly 9:20 slipped by :)
Lovely chord progression!
beautiful ,haunting ...simply lovely really great!
calm and quiet...very good
Awesome accident!

Anybody that feels that "it's too late" to learn an instrument only needs to look (and listen) here. You should be proud.
Yeah, keep on it. Good fun.
I'm 18 minutes in and in awe. Gold star!

Jean Michel Jarre, eat your heart out.
beautiful (I'm trying not to scare off the birds)
Man I'd like to sit it with your band sometime.
Clearly things are very good in Valles Marineris...
Very very nice.
Was a beautiful tune the first time. Something about this version, though, I'm finding deeply moving.

Today may have sucked but your musical output was just fine.
nice! can't wait to hear how you incorporate these ideas into your show :-)
Really digging on this.
Muy awesome!
Haha, well done! Silly fun that brightened my morning.

The most charming breakdown ever :-)
To paraphrase Sister: *Waves glowstick side to side*
Dig it! A little like Warm Leatherette as realized by Brainiac.
