Start of this reminds me of the music/sound effects from Dead Space the game. Sweet! Its like being lost in an endless void with nowhere to go. But if that was the case and this was playing, Im pretty sure I would be OK :)
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

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…
Another track without a plan. I was supposed to be doing something else, but I was stalling...
Electronically, I used only Ableton instruments on this one in the effects stew I used Eos, Replicant, BigSeq2, and LiveCut in addition to the Live…
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.

I like it.

I almost got into a dream like state. Awesome song man!
Every time I listen to your music, I gotta start recording. Sorry to comment twice. :D
nice. I like this a whole bunch.
Pretty cool.
Appropriate title. It's always difficult to find the right words and this music worked perfectly.
I haven't yet told you how sorry I am... And this is a beautiful tribute to a genuine emotion, captured painfully well.
We have just lost someone we thought was a friend - poignant piece, it makes me want to weep. Thank you!
Cool sounds man! Gotta love new toys
Well done, from the heart. Let their memory live on in this.
Oh Yea, the new gadgets and gizmos paid off nicely. ~Geas
Kick ass!!!! This is great.
Melancholy and touching.
Really sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful expression of how you feel
Definitely diggin this.
Underwater conference!
Some very cool sounds you've come up with here!
All lovely and bubbly!
:)

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.
