Had a guitar lesson today. Jammed on some chords. The chords happen to be the same as (or similar to) those in Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. We just chose them randomly as a basis for experimentation with different voicings.

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!

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

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…

This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.
MIDI was supplied via IAC from Reaktor using Lazyfish's Spiral sequencer. The project…
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
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!

Beautiful. Haunting. Too short. Love to hear this developed.

A very cool track.

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 :-)
