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 - Freeze
EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo

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.

there's a bomb in the back
as we head down the tracks
but we can only go so fast
there's a man on our trail
pack of dogs with no tails
this kind of excitement…
This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…
The title came to me as I was listening to the track and was reminded of looking through [Savage's](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) telescope at a starry sky and us being completely unable to figure out how to get it aligned :)
The title itself…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part.
maybe a bit of piano?
lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery!
tik-tok…
This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners.
The instrument is an evolution of my…
Just a simple humble ditty, one of a handful I've been playing on the piano lately.
I haven't been in the mood to do much recording in the last months — or more specifically, haven't been in the mood to flesh out and arrange tunes. So this…
I can so relate. Play pretty much daily but the record button seems to be buried somewhere...
Lovely piece. I almost want for random cafe noises, an espresso machine, some chatter, etc but it's beautiful as is.

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.

Comments made by mmi
sweet sounds, yum yum
Holy fuck. Awesome!
Quite the undertaking and an even better reward.
Really cool (now that I'm at home and not wondering if my ipad speakers were broken :)
Listened many times. Still haven't thought of anything to say. So I'll just leave it at: Kilroy was here.
Frankly, I like this piece as it is. You've left space without the feeling that something is missing.
My (under-educated) ear finds this piece very instructional. Neat.
Fun stuff
Unable to put my finger on precisely why but your recent work is really speaking to me. But why ask why. Bravo.
This is the track I wish I created this weekend. Fabulous.
Love the chill vibe.
Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...
Like.
nice. Look forward to hearing it develop.
I'm really liking this a lot.
The fun police are looking for you. Very cool.
You're alive! Really neat sounds; look forward to reading about the experiment that brought them to life.
I can so relate. Play pretty much daily but the record button seems to be buried somewhere... Lovely piece. I almost want for random cafe noises, an espresso machine, some chatter, etc but it's beautiful as is.
11 string guitar? is that a 12 string with one missing? Nice piece (and novel tuning, well novel to me anyway)
Dig this a lot.
