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…
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…

Sitting in the sunroom on this cool autumn day, listening to this dancing about the sound of my windchimes... Wow, almost eerie. Something's going to happen today.

This inspired me to hit the books again and read up on things that have cobwebs on them in my head. Somehow this lead me to checking out a tutorial on how to play Billy Joel's Piano Man...this in turn led to playing with the f blues scale in ravensguide...which turned into a kikass song..so I think. Kinda jazzy blues..with funk thrown in. I'll finish it later and upload it..thanks for the inspiration.

An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

Still playing with my _Neurotik_ sequencer made using Max for Live. This one turned out a bit strange. I was actually using it to drive Kontakt with cello & violin patches.
It was sort of interesting but not quite working when I dropped CamelSpace…
A second demo of my _Neurotik_ sequencer built in Max for Live and emulating the _Neuron Sequencer_ from Audio Damage's latest instrument [Axon](http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD026).
I've fixed up some stuff in the…
One for my electronic friends. It's just a bunch of patches mixed with MIDI and glued together with 1 part water, 2 parts flour, and 2 parts ectoplasma.
Enjoy!
More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop

Still struggling with this one...
Maybe not possible to make this work in a country song...MY DICK DON'T KNOW SHE'S GONE
1. She's been gone for three years now. Three years since she walked out
Friends and folks I work with ask me what it…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

I wrote this song,
It came from the inside,
Because of that,
I can make it stop.

This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

This was my "signature" track several years ago. I wrote this on guitar in the mid-90s while I was getting divorced, but later renamed it and recorded it…
WARNING! ADULT CONTENT or goofy great........
After a week of computer crashes, I finally got my gear all back to normal. I got my drum kit hooked up yesterday and did a test run which led to this bit of Saturday morning fun that only
proves…
This song is built on an entirely weird formula. First, I played it.
Second, I broke it up into equal but random lengths,
Then, starting each segment where i played it, Repeating each segment four or five times, adding lots of fx
Finally, i needed…

love the beat and shifting whoosh noises
I feel the sun shining even though it's dark out.

Totally hypnotic.
Great stuff man! Your clean guitar sounds are just crystalline!
Uncle Paul says this is excellent! I appreciate you posting the scale. I like the Dorian mode and never considered a flat 2nd. powering up the Roland.
lovely! I hope you make more 10+ minute tunes.. perfect for reading/zoning out
damn. alonetone needs a song looping function. I'd keep this on all night!
Calm
I like this a lot.
Damn, I'm missing out.
Great fun wank there!
so what did the guitar teacher say?
That was rather fun :)
wankin' rhythms ye have there matey. There should be more that one Wednesday a week for wanking.
Nice chord study. Like the pace and atmosphere.
I still get perfectly lost in this one.
nice swirly pads and crisp lead. like it dood
Dreamy and beautiful. Very enjoyable. Adding this to mix Alonetone playlist.

yay for Camel toys! they're like HP sauce for me
Excellent work. But even better for me, you've provided some inspiration for experimentation.
Grooving darkly.
This is a keeper. That thing that sounds like a guitar is actually an affected piano? Very cool.
Specs move better in headphone headspace. Highly recommended.
Well done my friend.
lmao! this is awesome!
Love it!
Special.
Awesome-sauce. Dreaming of you and Michael Brook sharing a stage...
Definitely captured the UV vibe.
Smooooth.
Beautiful track. Listening for the umpteenth time and starting to find the little details you added. It's like a treasure hunt.
Diggin it.
Wonderful wonderful piece.
Great track.
Very pretty.
In Canada, we outlawed capital punishment; so hanging ponies is definitely not on the "fun menu" anymore.
Simply. Beautiful.
evil twisted genius Bravo!
