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.
Another experiment. The name comes from the fact that I was in the woods; not because I was really concerned about making woodsy sounds...
Thanks again to glu and Chris McGrath for opening my eyes to some different Live tricks...
Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.
I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…

A big shout out to Sandbags making this track possible (with his fabulous creation [Elysium](http://lucidmac.com/products/elysium/)).
[Slightly more information](http://mmi-music.blogspot.com/2008/11/glockenfunmachine.html) on how I created…
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
This started as a simple piano piece from Osckilo, I took that as a beginning point and added the rest (synth, guitar, drums from Boss microBR), turning it into a prog-rock instrumental.

I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.
I think this song has grown on me in the last few
days. I'm diggin' it. I hope you all do too. I
wanted to hurry up and get the demo out for
Valentine's Day. Finished at 3:05am. Wha whoooo!
I need to…
Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.
My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

Comments on mmi's stuff
This is one of my favorite on Alonetone. Music elemental. Very good and precise.
nice beat, nice guitars...
Been listening and like this....
Very good. I get a jungle feel more than forest, because it has a vaguely tribal beat. Check out my tune with the same title.
love this, really nice and atmospheric!
very cruisy lol i can see some g's poppin caps to this man
Atmospheric and crunchy. Forgive me for this, but it's like discovering a really brilliant new flavour of crisps whilst being slightly terrified.
nice song & total feeling, nice backround sounds
Nice futzing! Enjoyed it very much!
Well glu nicked all the good stuff with the hint of jazz and Lost Highways references. I can't compete with that! But I enjoyed it none the less :)
you hammered it! Dark, with a hint of jazz; reminds me of something from the soundtrack to Lost Highways. Way to futz it up!
Love it! COOKIN' SAUCE! COOKIN' SAUCE!
Great tune, really like the way you mixed it as well!
Yeah- great beat. Like it!
Lovely swirly textures, we like :)
ooh! Love the beat! nice warping sound at 02:20! I want to hear more!
Oh My- This is just gorgeous!
Wow- never heard this one of your- great stuff!
Oh this is very interesting...I like the buildup and the guitar layers weaving in and out of the rhythms especially...
Dreamy and peaceful...moody in places.. Very good.

Really digging this.
Just too good.
That's an awesome sound! Raised the bar for sure.
My heart melts.
Definitely like this direction.
Inspiring for sure.
Magic indeed. Awesome.
Bravo!
Hot anthemic goodness.
Progtronica! Yes!
Ever impressive.
Well done. Very retro cool.
Fun stuff. Love the banjo.
Awesome groove. Builds a little like that the theme tune from a Guy Ritchie film.
Crunchy!
Awesome; all you need now is a Barry White stand-in :-)
Groovus interruptus!
loving the dark groove
Really nice flow you've developed across your RPM tracks. Coming along very very nicely.
Holy crap. What a build. Beautiful and inspiring (makes me really glad that I've started playing guitar myself).
