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…

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…
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
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.

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!
