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 :).

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…

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
Is it cool to favourite collabs you're involved in?
Anyway, glu did all the heavy lifting here. It's like Santa Claus visited last night and left the best presents at my house!
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…
This one almost got abandoned, I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with it.
It started as I was looking for a sound for another track (which really isn't getting anywhere) and I came across a chime sound that I thought would be lovely with a…
Never throw anything you've created away.
I've come close and always been happy about keeping stuff later.
As to this track, supercool. Especially when that buzzy thing comes sweeping through. Awesome.
Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.
This one started with a beat (using Stylus RMX to…
So far the comments have been about the sounds and their scariness. For me, however, the magic comes from those sounds used with a fairly funky and happy motif. The juxtaposition is very cool. Strange as it sounds, I hear a dub influence (cue you saying WTF?!?)
written, recorded, mixed, and bounced in 30 minutes. Just a brainstorm.
Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, tabla, rattle, tambourine, claps, kick sample.

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…
more morning underwear recording/remixing sessions.. this one a bit depressing maybe? I recorded a noisy thunderstorm in the morning last week and yesterday recorded guitar played by violin bow. The result is this messy and hopefully evocative…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
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!

this one's going places can't wait to find out where...

woah, multiple movements, all very cool, is that a subtle steel drum I hear?
Very cool and just a teeny bit harmonically challenging. Awesome.
This is one super awesome set.
Weee! We might have to rename the site to frighttone.com
You definitely have something here. But was that ending intentional? Want more.
what glu said... times ten *sits stunned*
You are a master. I am grasshopper.
Ab minor my new favourite key! Well done! Totally fits with my mood at the end of this tiring day...
It's everything you said it would be. Wow.
Genius in 3D. Love the way the bass part sits back in the mix.
I love the twist in your genius.
dark wave ambient wonder
Holy crap this is AWESOME! Yay for alonetone Radio "Songs you haven't heard" for bringing me here.
A thing of beauty. Especially the bow parts :-)
