I was trying to tune my radio into a station I picked up, just for an instant, but I found it hard to keep a lock on it, I kept getting strange interferences.

This is a very simple composition using two Elysium generators with an oscillator controlling the pulse count of the first and the offset of the second. Elysium is playing Kore 2's "Abendstern" instrument through a multi-compressor effect called…

cannot tell Reich from wrong here, the overlapping music waves ebb and flow, and leave shells of beauty on the shore of my mind. a wonderful experiment, a sideways fugue, perhaps.
I think I may have gone too far!
I've been working on the Reichenbach signal chain to include filtering, distortion, EQ, and a resonator. I've also switched out the delay and gone hog wild with modulation.
This piece shows how way out the…

A jarring Elysium composition, structurally similar to Komposition-1 but using the Kore 2 instruments "Boesen Buddy" and "Trembling strings" played simultaneously. I think I was also using an osciallator to control note velocity. I need more flexibility…

I downloaded the Reichatron. I am having trouble opening the file. I had to reinstall Winrar. Once I get it going I'm going to do some cool shit with it that will make you proud sandbags.
This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…

A late night meditation.
Here's the process:
Started just auditioning sounds in my Live library. When I do this, I play some random chords or two note intervals; often not looking at my hands or the keyboard. That's the spark. Here I started…
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
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.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…
This is a short teaser of my Electro-like remix that I entered into a contest organized by the Dutch radio station SlamFM.
I haven't uploaded the full thing because I don't want to get into copyright issues, so if you like the sound of the beat…
Logic's noise gate and vocal transformer are my new best friends. I really enjoyed messing with them and thought I'd have another go.
I've always quite liked pulsing ambient and it seemed to come naturally. This time we have Rytme playing Kore…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
an absolutely great way to utilize a vocal pad, or is that a sample...wait a real voice recording, i cant tell anymore.
Very out there man! I'd love to see a walkthrough of your setup some time.
yeehaaw!
haha. I can speak like YOda, the sage.
how cool this is.
Hopefully Reichatron will go live early next week. I can't upload it to the UL myself as it's too big, but NI have offered to do it.
When are you gonna publish Reichatron?
Curious about Reichatron. Found your link from NI Reaktor library. I use Reaktor with Mac OS X too. Sounds VERY good.
What a trip! Great atmosphere!
I wonder what that would do to a guitar........ Real nice.

Those radio waves that surround us to the beginning of time. A strange man and a generator of ideas - it's our Matt. I am twisted and down...
The modern interpretation of the fact that did ... Holger Czukay?
Creepy...Excellent!
Very powerful!
Great music. You get better and better.

WOWOWEEEE!!
Sound's like going through the day backwords if we could only do that sometime's....nice
Reichatron!

Like it.
Beautiful!
Oh I *like* this! Correction... I *lurve* this!
Can't figure out how I didn't favourite this one first time around, it's lovely!
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
I think that e-bow may have pushed you over the edge :)
This is brilliant! :)
Lovely sound Glu, quite transporting.
I love the sound you've created here.
Sweet sound.
Really enjoyed this track.
A man of many talents! Beautiful playing.
I enjoyed all 5 very much. I'm looking forward to what you do next.
Bring on the Trombones! Love it :)
Lovely atmospheric track.
Very very cool, i love it!
The remix is an awesome track ... I definitely encourage anyone to go listen to the full thing!
Must have made some snafu when I bounced it first time around, should be okay now.
Hrmm... where did my reverb tail get to...
Glu you're very kind but I'm just busking here ;-) Be very glad for you to use anything of mine in your tracks. In fact it would be awesome!
