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…

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
Frustrated with how slow my solo acoustic/vocal songs are going, I decided to spend the weekend making something chilled out, just to relax myself and to let people know I haven't died.
Its a short instrumental track. I call this minimalist electronica…
Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…
Glu guides you through an instructional song, revealing secrets along the way.
Instrumentation: Director's comments included! beat boxing, real swords, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, vocals, drum programming, tabla, and tambourine. My apologies…
First post-24h tune. Music written and recorded throughout the day... and lyrics in the evening. WARNING: This one is another cliché romantic synth-pop tune; same *muse* as the last one.
Recorded: August 1, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum.
:-)
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
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.

Who knew that destroying a musical instrument could be so satisfying?
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
Yeah, ok... yours is better :-) Love the organ(ish?) sound.
Fabulously fabulous. Perfect morning treat...
I say again, you're my hero.
Trip hop with unique instrumentation. Nice!
dude, you're my hero
Brilliant. I _love_ the faux live.
we're not worthy! we're not worthy!
Dude, this is awesome. Just like when I'm jamming by myself except when you're doing it I don't hurt my fingers!
Need a scraper to get the grin off my face. You been digging around in my record collection?
Inspiring. I can't wait for my guitar lessons to resume!
uh, what glu said. Early morning, pre-caffeine... perfect.

the tempi changes are genius!
You moving to Iceland soon? :-) Awesome.
Careful, might have to start calling you Prince glu. :-)
Smiling from the first note. By the 20th my face was out of real estate...
fuck, Oasis has taken over glu's account! Call the cops!
Holy crap! How did I miss this before? C'est formidable!
