Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…

okay. so i listened to this one again. I was in the wrong state of mind the first time around. the voices are telling me to ask you if this can be imported into Live 7?

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…

This site is getting way too creepy. This could accompany a brooding cityscape, slowly zooming in on a horrific scene of "SOMETHING". Absolutely brilliant.

oh wow, the ebow sounds great, especially around 02:30! *jealous. hmmm.. my analog ebow cannot achieve such silky smoothness without getting doused in verb

The title comes from the realization that we are applying a ridiculous amount of machinery to make or alter noises that came from a simple source like a vibrating string.
This is first experiment using some of the sampling magic learned from…

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...

DADGAD tuning

A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.

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.

This has a really nice innocent quality about it. Great stuff!
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...
OK...I am really losing it...this actually just made me blub.
I DO like it, but then I go for these kinds of guitar oddities. "Talent enhancer"? I want one of those.

This one grew on me as it went along. The 'verbed guitars are very nice. I expect to hear more of them in due course ;-)
Haunted library! Something's going to happen...and it's not just a twist in the tale...
Some of the single line guitar stuff has an almost horn like quality- very cool
This sounds out of this world...literally. Very enjoyable.
OK- I'm going back to playing electric again!. Great stuff

when A.I. takes over the world!
Wow. Beautiful, grimy, like someone giving a last salute to a barge full of gravel going over a waterfall.
Fascinating stuff. Works well!
This works really nicely. Some great industrial sounds here. Nice.
whos playin wiv u? v goood... D is for Diane Goddess of life in Rome Italy...
Lovely. Almost new age meets lounge! Only cool!!
Nice gentle groove!! Yeah- Maj 7 chords are the deal!

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.
