Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
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.

Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)

Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…

Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
Frustrated with how slow my solo acoustic/vocal songs are going, I decided to spend the weekend making something chilled out, just to relax myself and to let people know I haven't died.
Its a short instrumental track. I call this minimalist electronica…
Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…
Glu guides you through an instructional song, revealing secrets along the way.
Instrumentation: Director's comments included! beat boxing, real swords, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, vocals, drum programming, tabla, and tambourine. My apologies…
First post-24h tune. Music written and recorded throughout the day... and lyrics in the evening. WARNING: This one is another cliché romantic synth-pop tune; same *muse* as the last one.
Recorded: August 1, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum.
:-)
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
Comments on mmi's stuff
Like it!

sounds great!
Very nice laid back track. Good idea with the mono recording.
Nice one, m. Drums are my A heel too, working on that. I like the beats and mix here.
Cool tune.
Dreamy, mysterious sounds. Gotta hear the rest of the album now.
Nice collab. Very cool sounds flowing around in it.
Wow! Stunning sounds! A sonic swimming pool
See, you are an Astronaut, you are a Creative Sound professor, Your record is produced, and we'll see about the Gold Medal.
Great collab guys. Really enjoyed the serenity and thank you for the about comments. I find it very interesting to know how things are constructed
cool stuff
Spacewalk! Beautiful track, guys! Lovely synergy.
Fantastic complement to the original track!

ohh, chill-out time!
Like this one george! .... sounds like inside the evolution of a seed from earth to air... dark to light!.... good vibes for the brain!!
Just got around to listening to this and I think your mojo is intact because it's really lovely.
Quite lovely!
added to the electronic/ambient playlist. thanks. http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/kavins-favorite-electronicambient-tracks-on-alonetone

Who knew that destroying a musical instrument could be so satisfying?
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
Yeah, ok... yours is better :-) Love the organ(ish?) sound.
Fabulously fabulous. Perfect morning treat...
I say again, you're my hero.
Trip hop with unique instrumentation. Nice!
dude, you're my hero
Brilliant. I _love_ the faux live.
we're not worthy! we're not worthy!
Dude, this is awesome. Just like when I'm jamming by myself except when you're doing it I don't hurt my fingers!
Need a scraper to get the grin off my face. You been digging around in my record collection?
Inspiring. I can't wait for my guitar lessons to resume!
uh, what glu said. Early morning, pre-caffeine... perfect.

the tempi changes are genius!
You moving to Iceland soon? :-) Awesome.
Careful, might have to start calling you Prince glu. :-)
Smiling from the first note. By the 20th my face was out of real estate...
fuck, Oasis has taken over glu's account! Call the cops!
Holy crap! How did I miss this before? C'est formidable!
