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...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
Wow, reminds me of Opeth. Your stuff is very good. Never heard anything quite like it :). Oh BTW yes our singer is for real...he has an 8 octave range :).

Another experiment.
Today Eos was released. In trying it out, I found 7 random synth clips in my library (not entirely random but they might as well have been). These are fed for somewhat random durations and order through 4 Eos reverbs in…

Alternate title: Gratuitous Love Scene
Just hacking around with these chords; added some stuff and before I knew it I had one of those bits of cheesy music that accompanies those gratuitous sex scenes...
ha, ha, i always wondered what that music sounded like. i get more of like the spirit of roger waters drifting across the atlantic with thorazine & haldol in either pocket moaning "ave maria, ave maria", on his way to see "the last of the mohicans" but overall effective.
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…

An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

Here's the process:

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.
Comments on mmi's stuff
I'm glad you decided to release this anyway because it's lovely. I'm getting used to being eased into my day by a new track from you. Keep it up! :)
Nice chords! :) Really like the progression. Nice rhythm track too.
Wow, reminds me of Opeth. Your stuff is very good. Never heard anything quite like it :). Oh BTW yes our singer is for real...he has an 8 octave range :).
Delicious?
Fav'd within the first minute! I must re explore that tuning- been ages since I've played in it. Lovely stuff
Nice playing and it sounds fantastic
A nice way to slide into Monday morning.
Eos sounds nice. This is another one that makes me want to get under the covers with the kittehz and hide my eyes! frightone.com!
Very beautiful...
Have to give you much kudos for working out how to make 4 reverbs sound good :)

mmi, very atmospheric. sets a hypnotic mood. great tool for seducing women. 2 glasses of wine & 1 - 3:33/min of "opened".
Love the dreamy quality and the use of BigSeq2. How did you come up with the notion of using 4 Eos in series?
Awesome stuff. I love those ebow lines
Love the mix of dreamy haunting notes against the choppy rhythm.
i love layered guitars...
okay... you inspired the next compilation playlist with this one. More details this weekend.
mmi you are the alonetone ambient connoisseur
Like it.
Can't figure out how I didn't favourite this one first time around, it's lovely!

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.
