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…

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.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
Written/Recorded: December 25, 2010
Not really finished, not even sure what it is. I jst felt like playing some loud guitar...
EBEGAD (Capo III) and EADGBE.

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.

*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.
