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…
A 30 minute track (creation time).
Went for dinner with friends that were having trouble getting along.
They were in my thoughts whilst I put this together.
It starts out with trashcan drumming.. makes me want to move! Then it evolves with all the rhythmic synth layers... I likey.. If you are passively looking for input, I'd recommend thinking about how to utilize more negative space to emphasize that trash can rhythm at parts...I think you do this in a different way.. in sections rather than throughout the track.. and well, my recommendation comes with a big fat disclaimer... I tend to want to hear the wall of sound layers deferring to tribal beats :-) , Maybe gate or cut out parts of those polyrhythms on certain beats. I like the grinding end too.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.

Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
Part of the Sunny, Sorta project.

there's a bomb in the back
as we head down the tracks
but we can only go so fast
there's a man on our trail
pack of dogs with no tails
this kind of excitement…
This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…
The title came to me as I was listening to the track and was reminded of looking through [Savage's](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) telescope at a starry sky and us being completely unable to figure out how to get it aligned :)
The title itself…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part.
maybe a bit of piano?
lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery!
tik-tok…
This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners.
The instrument is an evolution of my…
Just a simple humble ditty, one of a handful I've been playing on the piano lately.
I haven't been in the mood to do much recording in the last months — or more specifically, haven't been in the mood to flesh out and arrange tunes. So this…
I can so relate. Play pretty much daily but the record button seems to be buried somewhere...
Lovely piece. I almost want for random cafe noises, an espresso machine, some chatter, etc but it's beautiful as is.

Comments on mmi's stuff
very solid beats. nice base and pads
Way cool! This really drives! Nice!
You got a great track out of it. I dig the blend of synth/guitar.
very atmospheric. I found myself staring off into the middle distance. chill
Ooh, I like my rhythm hot.

Love this!
Another one that made me come running over...wonderful, MMI, a rip yer heart out beauty.
What a wonderful feeling this evokes! Lovely!
good work..hard chords to get on the guitar..
Oh, this is delicately gorgeous!

Very nice, subtle, wonderful atmosphere. . Makes me want to get out the guitar and looper.
Damn.. it makes me want to throw this book across the room and hook up the studio proper.
super lush. It just keeps getting better.
Still a great track- hadn't heard it for a while
like the ear candy!
yeah.
Smartly wistful. No clutter. I really like it.
Wonderful, well done.

sweet sounds, yum yum
Holy fuck. Awesome!
Quite the undertaking and an even better reward.
Really cool (now that I'm at home and not wondering if my ipad speakers were broken :)
Listened many times. Still haven't thought of anything to say. So I'll just leave it at: Kilroy was here.
Frankly, I like this piece as it is. You've left space without the feeling that something is missing.
My (under-educated) ear finds this piece very instructional. Neat.
Fun stuff
Unable to put my finger on precisely why but your recent work is really speaking to me. But why ask why. Bravo.
This is the track I wish I created this weekend. Fabulous.
Love the chill vibe.
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
Like.
nice. Look forward to hearing it develop.
I'm really liking this a lot.
The fun police are looking for you. Very cool.
You're alive! Really neat sounds; look forward to reading about the experiment that brought them to life.

11 string guitar? is that a 12 string with one missing? Nice piece (and novel tuning, well novel to me anyway)
Dig this a lot.
