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!

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…

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

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!
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!
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

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

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 :-)
