Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
A meditation of sorts.
Arose from experimentation with a technique described here

This is a single take with a bunch of reverb added after the fact in Reaper (also an experiment…
Three hours.
No plan.
Halloween.
Thirteen tracks.
Dark but not dark.
Toys used:
Synths: FM8, Massive, Absynth
Guitar: GT-10, Timeless 2, Volcano 2, Eos, BigSeq2
Each time I sit down to learn something about Logic, I end up getting distracted and creating some kind of track...
This one uses EFM1 -> Delay Designer -> Live Cut
Some drums through similar craziness
and finally me playing some pads and…

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.

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
like spinning wheels moving in sympathetic patterns...shifting constantly in jerking motions
sproingy mess, like an exploded machine...very haunted too, saturated and claustrophobic.
Fantastic… where are you?
This is very meditative and cool. Seriously beautiful - wow, I would love to sing to it (I actually am while I'm listening).
Nice. Atmospheric.
Very good
Great atmo in this one!
I see waterfalls and landslides...
sweet
Amazing! Really pulls you in
beautiful work.
Very cool!
Hells to the yes! I didn't know that cerebral convulsive melody was represented on alonetone.com! I need more of this in my life
Very cool!
that's pretty fricken incredible....
Nice sounds
Dig! A groovy funk. I like the ambiance, the beat, the attack. You done good. Rock on!
This is sweet!
Totally dig this number. The effect eats me up. Dig that beat! It's all juicy, man -- Rock on!
Le sigh.

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 :-)
