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…

EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo
TC/PGS - Trinity Reverb
xotic - EP booster

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…
I got stuck on a silly little musical phrase, noodling around with it on the piano, unable to let go of it and unable to really develop it into something more.
I recorded myself playing a number of variations as I searched in vain for a deeper…
Made with the Boité Diabolique playing some piano and cello samples. I did a bit of hand editing in Live and then added some light compression, reverb, and limiting.
Once again the source material is a snippet of beautiful piano from [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) only this time I fed it to a new Reaktor instrument that I am working on call Tukuramu.
Okay so tukuramu does not mean earth-quake but…
I was working on a piano phrase played by Alonetone supremo [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) (about which, more later).
One of the approaches I took was to load the phrase into the Time Freezer instrument and play it. I kind of got lost…
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
This one is live from the cellar last night...Unplugged recorded with one mic..so close your eyes and imagine me here alone on a wet Monday night in Sheffield in the cellar alone as Elvis and Jim had heard about an Happy hour round the corner…
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…

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.

Nice. I listed a pile of times. Apparently I fall into the quite pleasing camp :)
Super cool. I love the dark tension.
There's gold in them thar waves.
Very cool. Took me back to my days of listening to Michael Brook.
Very cool and fruitful sonic mining. Inspiring.
Nice! Had to do some googling while listening to learn about quartal harmony.
you should sell tickets to your soundchecks; I'd pay
Very cool. Be interested in hearing how you connected all the bits.
Really nice. Wow.
Great collab!
Good groove. Definitely worth exploring more.
What MtC said. Longer.
Out of the park! Great fun!
Sweet cinematic goodness. Autumn leaves flying as I drive my car a twisty New England road.
simple and very cool
And groove it more certainly does!
Dude! Dude! More!
So very beautiful... can never have too much.
More!
lovely jam
