A moody piece I whipped up while testing the new Live 9 beta.
Basically, two chords (Cmin7, Bmaj7) and some layered noodles.
Still have a busted finger, so the guitar playing is... restricted.
Drones are nothing new. But I decided it was time to seriously explore them.
For those interested in how these things develop. The drone was developed on my looper pedal by layering guitar sounds that were processed by uPOG and Freeze pedals…

Two guitar tracks, lots of effects and some beer.
For the gear heads, the effects list was:
EHX - Freeze
EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo
TC/PGS - Trinity Reverb
xotic - EP booster
NI - Guitar Rig 4

Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)
A meditation of sorts.
Arose from experimentation with a technique described here

I accidentally started two tracks on alonetone in different tabs. Your track and Movement to Contact's "Coffee with a Little Sugar". Do it :D http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/coffee-with-a-little-sugar-by-norm
A drone + some angry drunken guitar playing.
Trying to capture a feeling...
You have just had a fight/argument with a lover but you're drunk and your feelings are lost in a swimming haze.
Tech details:
Drone is two tracks, volume pedal…
One part Guy Richie, one part Cirque du Soleil, the rest a trip down a gypsy campsite.
Played by me almost all acoustically (the only MIDI track was the bass) on my banjo, detuned guitar, recorder, and violin, along with various percussion items.
Another loop - not recorded that well and don't have the time to do much with it, but here it is none the less. The title more or less is a reflection on my life at the moment. Using the same junk I always do...
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Hey! You're invading our turf! :-)
Welcome to the wonderful disease that is electronic music. Can't wait for you to find the hybrid you're looking for.
A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
Another experiment with Reichenbach, my phase-shited looping ensemble for Reaktor 5. This time I fed it a sample from the [Rekkerd.org](http://rekkerd.org/downloads/) mixed bag selection #2 called `106_sandylines_01.wav`.
I let the sample play…
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
A friend sent me a loop he made on Reason, and I added a 2nd bass track and about 4 vocal tracks in various stages of aural legibility.
In the song I try to give a friend advice about how to stop his spiral downward. Starting with practical…
This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…
A little background to that comment perhaps... recently went to a seminar on recording acoustic guitar and I was struck by how difficult it is to get a decent sound and how even that decent sound pales in comparison to the live take. Thus, wish I was there to hear it in person.

Tasty!
This is a masterful mix-down of sounds -- serious groovy-ness! Top notch, extraordinary talent!
You're still doing great music, so glad to hear it!
Hey this is pretty cool, totally trips along.
Totally dig! w;-)
sick
lovely
Moody indeed. Serious flares vibes from this. And you got the new live 9 beta :o
Lovely! Great textures! Sorry about the finger
Nice! Dig the effects!
This does have a Sci-fi feel to it. I think it fits right in with Voyager-1 leaving our solar system.
nice, sounds like a sci fi movie intro too. I would remix it...some time
are you using a plastic hose to get that sound? i like it
great
i love this. Have you ever heard of the band Dif Juz? They also use delicate guitar layering. Can't wait to hear your other songs.
Sweet tones...riffs like churchbells.
great open guitar feel. enjoying the layers.

Like this a lot.
Very evocative (though I'm not sure I'm hearing the Guy Ritchie :-)
Lovely track.
Diggin' it. Love the Fripp style lead line.
Awesome track. Thanks for reminding me how little I'm looking forward to my next trip to an airport. :-)
Very evocative piece. The change of gears is wonderfully unsettling.

More coolness. Something that rewards repeated listens.
Very very cool.
No it's not. Nothing going on here. FoxNews says so. :-) But seriously cool track.
Boy, good thing I can spell.
Beatiful.
Stellar opening. Followed by me swooning over the guitar sounds.
I really like the sound you've got going on here.
Reached out of the machine and grabbed me. Like when that happens.
Bravo! I found myself startled by some of the clocks and looking to the side. Mission well executed.
Very nice. I particularly love the "I care but I don't care" section.
I think this one worked out really well. A definite grower.

Awesome recording. Wish I was in the room though.
