Sort of a Tuesday improv...
Built up around a synth texture that I built up with:
Operator->FilterStation->Volcano->Kombinat->Panstation->RP-Delay
(what's the fun in having plugins if you can't abuse them)

Rough mix of something brewing.
Started with some minimalistic phrases of in different time signatures (5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 9/4) and grew from there.
From there, things got out of hand.

After a long summer of doing stuff other than recording it was time to get back on the horse.
Sonically, this isn't much of a departure but I am trying a couple of new things technically.
One it that I spent more time on the drums (an achilles…

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.)

Haha, not recently but I have. Thanks!
Beautiful work! Lovely layering
Good 'un. Been listening to Doug Sparling?
Okay. Now I REALLY want a Memory Man. Wow. This is wonderful.
So cool... Now to read about this...
Must...not...comment...on this track...for the fifth time...
Heavy and thick - love the subtle percussive elements lifting this, and then the guitar comes in, and the flower blooms.
Progressions! The synth like drone in the back, that's the guitar too? I like how warm this sounds.
Nice one!
How did I miss this? Very cool, G. Love the sparkly beginnings and the subtle build. Agree with Bee, tasty Oriental flavours abound.
Sounds like a long and luxurious taste of the Orient. I don't pretend to understand ambient, but this is musical, has structure and I like it! Thanks!
Nice ebb and flow movement. Yes and the guitar adds depth.
Cool! Love that guitar sound at about 2:35
Slap those plug-ins around a bit and make them call you Daddy.
nicely done!!
Very cool
Nice! Keep abusing those plugins!
Very enjoyable
Lush, minimal trip!
Nice relaxing piece for first thing in the morning. Mix sounds great in cans!

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.
