A dark ambient thing that came from exploring the new goodies in Live 8.

Another song in the key of Glu.
I know I called the theme was [glubot for a day](http://alonetone.com/forums/togethertone/topics/glubot-for-a-day).
Maybe glubot for a week?
Just a beat. 32 bars at 87bpm. Download, remix, slice, dice, do what you do. I know I will.
See the [TogetherTone forum](http://alonetone.com/forums/togethertone/topics/glubot-for-a-day) for more info.
PS Wicked beat! Sounds like a glubot factory for sure! Parts made from China to Mexico.. assembled and QC'd in the U.S. glubots not made by child or sweatshop labor!

Oh hahaha! Love it...honored by the homage! I'm away from my glubotizing machine at this moment.. I am still thankfully part human... but when I get back to it I will have some fun with the glubot-for-a-day! Cheers to You and Sandbags!

I recorded a single guitar part. I then resampled that twice through Kombinat and BS2; because of the random nature these…

A big shout out to Sandbags making this track possible (with his fabulous creation [Elysium](http://lucidmac.com/products/elysium/)).

I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
Another in my series of experiments with the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function.
I used two instances of Metaphysical Function to generate a soundscape that was bounced to audio, chopped up, and re-arranged.
The whole thing was rather…
Another experiment with the Reaktor ensemble 'Metaphysical Function' only a bit longer this time.
Again Reaktor is the only instrument at work here although it's going through a mastering chain including Space Designer with a very short impulse…
Makes me think that it would be interesting to hear this before it got crushed to mp3. But maybe that would be too scary?
Very cool, even if I have to hide under my desk.
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
We're deep in the glitch mines again.
This time with a beat developed in Stylus RMX, a "melody" using Soniccouture Skiddaw stones and Tonehammer Frendo, and a bass from Soniccouture Abstrakt Bass.
The beat was fed through The Finger with…
A little experiment building a sound with the Reaktor ensemble 'Metaphysical Function' which is an awesome sound generating instrument.
Reaktor is the only instrument/effect in this track. I built it using Live 8.0.5 which I am also experimenting…
Experimenting with my piano/keyboard skillz and a first attempt at record clapping. Needs a good go over with some quality drums and some better arranging. Everything sounds very "synthy" on account of I don't have any quality VSTi at the moment.
I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.
Working with wet (pre…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
This song is actually part 2 of a 10 minute set I did on my laptop. I broke it into 3 separate songs. Part 1 and 2 were my favorites, as part 3 just based itself on a copyright free sample I did nothing with. I like this one most because of the…
Welcome to my 300th Alonetone upload! I sit with a pile of books to read in a house full of boxes and my studio is not even completely set up; however, I had no choice but to write and record this tune today once the sun went down. This song is…
One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…
And the award for unique interpretation goes to...
Sandbags! (crowd goes wild, cut to surprised and happy recipient high fiving his guests)
Awesome stuff man.
Comments on mmi's stuff
This is really cool. experimental in ways...love it.
I think this is the best track on the album. A great closer.
Wow. Scary.
I like how this builds up from the simple beginning- very cool!!
great synths :-)
Fun experiment.
nice and atmospheric. i hear ze new vocoder? what else is new? operator envelope stuff?
Awesome!

very interesting piece... aphex twins esque, but better! nice use of efx
It just gets better and better.
OMG - LOVE THIS TRACK! Kudos!
That is just plain great- beautiful job!!
Very cool track MMI im enjoying this alot.
Interesting, sounds like King Crimson with a synth.
Im a sucker for a good finale. this was that. nice job..
interesting... "wow"-back
This one caught my attention :)
them angles are well spaz. brilliant. to have captured the sound in my mind as i live out my life is quite a talent!
Comments made by mmi
man. what do you say? how about Wooh!
Very, very nice. In the playlist of my mind this track is followed by Supertramp. Weird, I know.
Very soothing. I could listen to this all day... I might just try.
Superb work. On your way to churning out the club hits :-) /me ducks the shoe :-)
exquisite e-bow elegance elevates every element
Makes me think that it would be interesting to hear this before it got crushed to mp3. But maybe that would be too scary? Very cool, even if I have to hide under my desk.
Bravo! Bravo! Maestro! Encore!
No idea how I missed this before but holy moly it's great. I have a vision of robot glitch miners line dancing :-)
This is a very cool and creepy toy. I want one too!
This is the opening to a big movie, right? Camera moving slowly through a New England town in the autumn; red leaves blowing around...
mega holy crap AWESOME!
/me sits stunned incredibly moving
I've been waiting for a long time to hear the ebow on the acoustic. Definitely does not disappoint. Super cool sound and super cool track.
Proving once again that those of us caught up in the gear lust have got our priorities all wrong... great track.
Golly, them's some scary bubbles! Awesome.
hey this cleaned up well. The opening vox reminds very 80s :-) Triggered a funny association.
Special stuff.
mmmmm, very very very nice
And the award for unique interpretation goes to... Sandbags! (crowd goes wild, cut to surprised and happy recipient high fiving his guests) Awesome stuff man.
Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap. Wow.
