I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.
Working with wet (pre…
This track is a second attempt to put Kavin's beautiful track [Poor Boy](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/poor-boy) through my Steve Reich style phase shifting looper.
In the first I had it play through the whole track but I didn't think it…
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…
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…

There is stretching involved but not using Paulstretch. I could never make that thing work for me.
With this piece I liked how the click ticks turned into something like breathing.
Another experiment with MetaSynth this time taking a single bowed waterphone sample and running it through the Spectrum Synth. I then experimented with the tempo (spectral timestretching), interpolation settings, and applying formant filters to…

This is the first real "thing" I've created using [MetaSynth](http://www.uisoftware.com/MetaSynth/index.php) as I go through the extensive tutorials.
This was the result of (somewhat haphazardly) drawing & sculpting pixels in the ImageSynth…

Otherwise known as the 'opus'. This song was my life for a good year. Left forgotten in the dusty hills of Santa Fe. This is pretty much the A section :)
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…
Very nice. With respect to your question I am still very much a beginner with piano but I am being taught Blues and that seems to involve a lot of interesting bass lines. Maybe that might be something to check out?
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.
From what I could hear it sounded like someone sent [MMI](http://alonetone.com/mmi…
I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh?
I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM.
And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
How could I not love something made with the sweat of my brow (and for once there really was a lot of sweat!). I enjoyed what you've done arranging the Reichatron output with other parts. This is fun :)

Nightmarish train ride.

i like the stretched effects.
Nicely done mate
more than just paulstretch I'd say - or different. in any case a cool idea!
Paulstretch?? Sounds like the sound was stretched. Cool!
You're alive! Really neat sounds; look forward to reading about the experiment that brought them to life.
good
mmm yes I feel it has just the right amount of trippyness in it awesome
Sounds like the Sister has issued a challenge then!
Nice soundscape, as usual. Nice on an exhausted evening.

I am a sucker for good solo piano, this is lovely.
My thanks to all those who contributed vocals to this track: GCD, Sudara, Marlena, MMI, La Savage, Robot Molly, Matt Savigear, Wildgeas, and me!

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.
This is wonderfully dark and beautiful. I think it would be quite something to hear it live!
I don't know from chord progressions but it sounds pretty good to me!
I don't see what needs re-recording but you know best. Really good, can't believe how quickly 9:20 slipped by :)
Love this, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it has a wistful quality that I found very moving.
Sounds like I am going to enjoy your RPM album a lot!
Beautiful! Not wasting any time getting started are you? :-)
Fab playing you guys, I could listen to this for hours.
Beautiful.
I love it, warts and all. Maybe especially for the warts :)
Wonderful sound. More experiments to come?
That was beautiful.
Was that your Boss GT-10 at work? Very dark and brooding.

Lovely, perfect for a still, frosty, night.
Love this one, lovely sounds.
Well, I would never have expected to enjoy this - not the kind of thing I would normally listen to at all - but I did. Great stuff!
