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…

To everyone missing.

I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould
6000 miles away
I finally recalled
the secrets on your skin
in scars and birthmarks
open wounds
secret stories of…
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

Worked on this track for a *long* time. Learnt a lot but it's time to call it done and move on to something else. Am pretty happy with it all in all.
Sounds include samples of me clapping and the Snowdon steam train heavily processed with Ableton…
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.

Live performance from "Zodiacrobatic", Hybrid Groove Project's remix of "Tierkreis" (Zodiac) by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Brian Sacawa and I performed this, our version of Leo, on our Mobtown Modern series in May 2009. The complete "Zodiacrobatic…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…
Comments on mmi's stuff
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.

Superb!
Swoon.
Welcome to the party. Interesting limitation(?) you've chosen.
Awesome song.
Tapped out! Super cool. If you don't mind the comparison, sounds very Trey Gunn (which is a good thing).
Yeah, I'd have trouble sleeping too with musical ideas like this.
Very well done. Somebody should warn those Kraftwerk dudes that you're coming for them.
Very cool.
*Love* it.
Is this at all inspired by the TV show? Cause it certainly fits.
Dudes. Nice frickin' porch. Wish I was there.
Wish I was there to see this.
I love the changes. (Man I still have so much to learn.)
yay for warts; felt like I was there
Really digging the vibe of your recent stuff.
Don't you hate it when somebody walks in in the middle of a take? :-) So realistic I jumped.
Astonishing. Love the video too.
yeah man. can hardly wait for the savaging.
Hahaha, awesome. Brings me back to my time listening to Bill Bruford's Earthworks.
A thing of beauty. Few write changes like this anymore.
