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…
~Puzzles, misterious, riddles~
Ghosts do not speak - they communicate with gestures, in silence. We consider them mysterious. I wonder what they think we are? What if they, as well as some of us thinks about them, to believe that we don't exist? And also what if... Oh, I think got carried away :-) Good piece, really.
P.S. I did like this - I run it on the cyclic play (I recommend to try). Drift...
A second outing for my new Reaktor ensemble codenamed "BD". This time I used only once instance of the ensemble but noodled around through a series of samples allowing the guided-randomators to vary the speed, grain density, and grain length…
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…
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
My 100th upload to Alonetone!
I played a pretty random arpeggio which I arranged into 3 versions of medium notes, long notes, and short notes followed by a gap. I cloned these version and transposed them up and down one octave respectively…

An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
That was lovely. I can quite easily see how you would just jam for hours and never get around to recording. Which probably means you should be on stage!
Okay this is one for the serious noise freaks only.
This is three instances of Loop Shifter that I played in real time using my Novation Launchpad.
Turns out the launchpad makes a great keyboard for loop shifter, better than a real keyboard…
Thanks folks. When I put this one up I was afraid it would be a bit far out but, on repeated listenings, I think it's more accessible than I imagined. Glad you like it.
Body Disconnected (2002) was written to accompany choreography by Lauren Lutrell. The process included importing video clips of dance movements into the music programs I was using and scoring music to them as one might with a film soundtrack…
This is a beautiful work. The various sections are interesting in themselves but I also love how you've blended them together, the changes work really well. Bravo!
Love this. I've tried to make pieces like this but it's beyond my talent for arrangement at this point. I love how you've blended traditional sounds with experimental timbres. Nicely done!
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
This is a first test of a sequencer I built, using Max for Live, based on Audio Damage's latest plugin [Axon](http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD026).
Axon looks great but I'm saving for a Mac Pro so, to save money, I…
I've really enjoyed these tracks you've just uploaded but this one is easily my favourite. Evocative blending of sounds with a sketchy vocal that really fits. Nicely done.
this was an accidental song. I was making another song for which the main two loops of this song were simply the ending. The first of these loops is so visually stunning, I just knew It was its own bar.
More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.
Ah mes non, it appears I have mislead you. What sounds like a guitar is in fact.. a guitar. It's one of the very nice lap steel guitars from Omnisphere and I play the chords I used for the piano part which was used to create the main glitchmosphere.
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
I bid you a good, if strange, day.
Interesting listen man.
I have no idea what you just said....but it sounds cool. way outerspace
Cool eerie sounds Mr Bags!
Epic! Kind of want a beat to come in at around 0.09, and then girl vocals about running away from herself plastered all over it. Yeah.
Very chill and relaxing. I like!
Will add evocative and raw to oldrottenhead's comment. This is thickly atmospheric, and yet empty. Perfect title - brilliant track.
lush and atmospheric

He does! Very tender piece!
I sit in my darkened cave and I'm transported.
Thrilling...
I had to come back for more. Your song is amazing.
nice one!
I'm a little late to the party, but happy 100th nonetheless! *LOVE* this track!
You two make a fine team.
interesting,,,,lots of different sounds blended here,, i enjoyed listening
fun piece

Nice gritty sounds.

Short but sweet.
This is another of those tracks where I look for the 'double favourite' button in vain.
I enjoyed this a lot. Would that I would be able to improvise like this one day.
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
Strangeness after my own heart.
Really enjoyed this one, some great sounds and placement of those sounds.
Yeah my apologies to all listeners for not putting a fat reverb tail on this one. I wasn't thinking too hard. I might do that an re-upload it.
Love this.

Awesome. Yes there was a bit of clipping in there but who cares really? This was very listenable.
Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(
I think after all I like this version best. It has a smooth, easy feel to it, like cruising through the night on a deserted motorway.
Lovely way to slide into the morning.
