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…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…
This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back.
* Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums
* Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth
* Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
Traditional Irish - Arranged by Doug Sparling
Based on a recording by Na Casaidigh.
Played late at night, as a lullaby of sorts. Now go to sleep, little child...

A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…
Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…
Recorded August 28, 2009
Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge.
After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
Plucking of the "wrong side of the strings" on my jazz guitar. Rhythm made with an espresso machine.
I tried to do 2 main things here:
1) Create harmony with spoken voice, via pitch shifting (Did the first part of the program disturb you…
Just another quick test of the yet unnamed RobRokkenAudio plug in... with a scary clown. Hey kids! Rememeber the 80's? Awwww, that's ok, neither does Uncle Bobo...
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.

Mess?!? I'd say the net result is genius. Super super cool.
Sacrilege? Bah. This is technological art in the finest tradition. Inspired.
Good stuff! Like the contrast between the dark bass and the "happy" guitar.
lmao. When your tourbus makes a stop in Toronto, I want to know.
With a guitar lesson? Too cool! I know what I'll be doing when the snow starts flying.
Inspiring. If you don't finish it, I might :-)
A gem made more precious by the loss.
Yay for single take wonders. A beautiful gift indeed.
Feature indeed.
Brilliant. Wow. And yay for mumsie!
oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah... Deeply chilled and sweet.
Makes my eyes moist. Quietly stunning.
Wow. A true artist in our midst.
Dunno why but this one is special.
I think it needs some elephant :-) Awesome nonetheless.
Go away for a little while and look what happens. Well done indeed.
Once again you've done something very special. Props.
Beautiful. And since you mention it, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recording.
This is very special. I really love the canon/chord you built from the First Part sample.
Holy coulrophobia, Batman!
