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.
Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.

After watching the video of the tsunami devastating the shores of Japan, I couldn't work anymore. So instead I sat down to dedicate a few hours of…
The piano track is a mangled version of the already-mangled piano from the previous song ("The Saucers Arrive").
The plan was to try to improvise in a way that was somehow rhythmically compatible with the skittering piano track. The guitar track…
Recorded this as an affirmation that no matter what may transpire I will still want the love of those dear to me. Even in my darkest hour I still recognize that there is a light within all that reminds us of love!
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.

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!

Smartly wistful. No clutter. I really like it.
Wonderful, well done.

Haunting and beautiful tribute on this sad day.

Digging it.
Very cool!
Been listening to your stuff for the last hour and I'm better for it.
And quite an affirmation it is. The vocal harmonies make me swoon.
This is really really nice. Looking forward to the final version.

Dirt? Check. Groove? Check. Involuntary head bobbing? Check. Dig it.
Dude. Dude. Dude! (the octaver is a really nice touch)
