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…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
Could've been the soundtrack to the nightmare I had last night - I don't usually have them and this music immediately brought it all back! And judging by the title, this is a REALLY effective track! Very clever.
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
You all should check out MMI's music blog. My favorite quote from the last entry (regarding alonetone): "There is an ocean of music and I'm just peeing into it, enjoying the temporary warmth that affords."
Beautiful piece, outstanding sounds and such musical, melodic guitar playing, just the way I like it...and I think you play closer to my influences than I do :)
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
This is the accoustic version of fat tragedy. I guess it is a guitar solo. Thinking itself through, but not really anticipating what itself is going to do.

this is a cover done for the french hiphop band, IAM, because although highly political in content, saldy most of what they say is true. - note that the clip was never aired on tv or radio, due to official decision.

This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
From last February...
I'm not sure where I'm going - its late - I'm tired so I may be out of my mind.

I thought it might be interesting to post the source material I used in the track [IX](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/ix-2). This is the file generated by my TMA-2 instrument that I processed to make IX.
If you're into this sort of noisy…
Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.
The source for this piece was a recording from my latest Reaktor instrument [TMA-2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyEEW-tCNL4) with a sample map constructed from [Richard Devines](http…
Well done. I don't really have any suggestions about structure except to say don't get too hung up on it :-)
I kind of think that the way this ebbs and flows is all the structure it needs.
title is self-explanatory, past tense however.
i really wanted a song that had the flow, emotional intensity and unpredictability of an ocean. perhaps that's a bit cliche.
done over the period of two months in a little dark room with an…

Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
I made this track back in nineties with sort of tongue in cheek -mentality. I accidentally found it and it still sounded so fresh that i decided to upload it.
Comments on mmi's stuff
Just brilliant!
Damn, now I want noodles.
Major noodles with major flavour! Gorgeous!
Love the way this builds up around 3 mins, and then descends back in to reflection.
Jangly goodness! Like gypsy e-miners.

what are YOU doing up this hour? doing some kind of a happy dance I imagine? ;-)
nice song G -Andrew
*Does a happy chair dance*
Very nice! Optimistic , but no too much so if ya know what I mean!!
i mean light.. as in happy and slightly melancholy. I'm serious about those evolving layers of sound... awesome.
it dances between light and slightly melancholy thanks to the interesting progression. Moving textures ftw!
Hey- Thanks for the mention in your blog- very nice of you. Doug turned me on to it

curious how poignant an out of tune guitar can be well done
WARNING: Extreme cool alert!
I admit to a soft sport for French hip-hop. Dunno what it is... Well done.
Longest. Gestation. Ever.
Hahaha. Great fun!
yeah man; very nice
Mmmmm ... absynth
Daaaaammmmn.
Awesome piece. And Kirk wins for best comment.
Mmmmmmmm
This is cool too. Hmmm. Eenie-meanie...

Like this a lot. Methinks we all need an awesome fort filled with awesome friends...
Man, I wish I was there playing with you. Again, super awesome.
This is really cool.
Supercool.
Very interesting! The BBC called, they want their Radiophonic Workshop back :-)
Nice preservatives! Still very fresh indeed.
no idea why I like this but boy do I like it
Yes! Yes! Yes! followed by free Fripp samples ?!?!? Holy crap!
