love the reznor, i was influenced by him for the ending of "Suzie and Fred." you might like my other electronic stuff, "Mercury Blues" and/or "Neptune Blues." it's different 'cause i avoid the 4/4, knowwhatimean?
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the RPM Challenge.
So the screwing around I do today should be either tossed or posted to avoid the temptation of using it in my RPM album...
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"
You can see my 2007 album [here](http://alonetone.com/sudara…
Epic journey. Plenty weird. DIg it. I particularly like the Glass-ian opening in Time. And the bonus track comes to shake you out of the dream. Evil genius.
Here is my practice run, 1/12 of the 24hour album. 2 minutes of music in two hours. This track was fun to make. I started with the acoustic guitar, added the bass, then the beat. To get a particular sound that I had in mind, I did a little beat…
This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
one of the oldest songs MNCC's ever recorded. It's mostly bass and homemade drums plus a prerecorded beat. And lyrics about the consequences of forbidden love.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

That is some wild stuff. I thought the alien storm troopers had landed!! Dig it

whohoo! bagpipes?
great Canadian electronica, i'll play your music on my show for sure, www.thenewspin.ca
This is crazy good. I want to describe it as "angular melody". Does that make sense?
this is a really cool track.
great sounding track- love the percussion bits
very cool.
EXCELLENT!
Makes me visualize swimming in peanut butter. Despite that probably unintended imagery, I like it!
sticky beats!
LOVED this track, MMI. It's one of my favorites of yours.
Sweet. Love the authentic airport charm :)
beautiful! can't wait to hear the rest of the record.
Love it- Super nice cut
I love the guitars on this. Great flow as always
Nice grooves! Love the organ sound and the counter-melodies.
Very nice music
mmm, mmm...sooo good!
Any analog gear involved in this? The beat is gorgeous and oh so simple!

Beauty. Is that some vocoder action I hear? Whatever it is, it's really cool.
This is really wonderful. I think that the tempi changes really add something special.
You know, I thought the technical difficulties were just artistic decisions. And good ones. Inspired.
You win.
too funny

A fabulous eclectic trick. You're all over the place man! It's awesome.
This is really awesome. I feel like killing myself now :-)
A true opus.
Very nice work (I've been a closet new-age fan for like 20 years, terribly sorry if the genre label offends).
Very well done!
Stunning.
Love it. But too short! Need my Boards of Canada fix.
Dude. Stunning. I wish Iron & Wine's CDs were recorded this well.
Love it!
Cool track. I'm really liking your vox processing.
Charming lunacy.
Man I love this stuff.
Sweetly played. Definitely not cheesy.
You had me at the piano intro. It just got better from there. The first piece of music I listened to today. What a great start to the day.
