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…

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
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…
I see the entry to the exit, to a special place. But why through a window? :-) Ah! This is such an idea, clear. Seriously: to become a complete art piece it should be longer, and should go down into the coda at the end, as I see it. Working on it?
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…

Like being in the belly of a machine that's desperately trying to live.
Liking the light at around 3 mins 10, sounds like hope amongst the feeding frenzy.
(You should definitely consider getting in to incidental horror music.)

Yeah, that was interesting to say the least.
How oh earth do you do that. Sounds like some undiscovered species on an eating spree. You would be great for sound effects on creepy movies.
I'm going through something of a dark time at the moment and it's a rare evening I actually have something tangible to show for it. Mostly it's frustration, depression, and a blanket of grey despair. Tonight was different and I can only hope that…
Thank you for the kind words.
This track has been interesting for me in that, having felt paralysed for so long, I was in major haste to push it out the door. I didn't stop to think or evaluate, let alone try things different. I just slapped it together and uploaded it.
And it is a wild mess.
And I think it's very me.
I thought I'd listen once then move on. But I've found myself listening to it over and over again. Of the 37 track plays I would guess almost 30 of them are mine.
Sister's right in that it has some nice bits around 3m and, for me, especially 5m. If the whole could be as good as those parts I think I'd **really** have something.
But where I thought I might be embarrassed at throwing up some half-finished thing instead I've discovered I enjoy this in all it's misshapen beauty.
I've started applying the same techniques I used for this in a more deliberate way and I am struggling. Which is great, it feels great to have creative problems again!
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
I am really exited about the potential of the digital revolution in audio. I have been at it for about a year and a half. I own Logic, Live8 and use Elysium and gleetchlab3. I am also a bluegrass banjo player, former opera singer and guitar player…
This piece has a wonderful otherworldliness to it. The beat anchors it to our time & place but it's easy to imagine it being enjoyed by alien ears. Kudos.
This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
After several more listens my enthusiasm for this piece is undiminished. Not to take anything away from the rest of it but the section from 5:00 to 8:21 is as good, interesting, and moving a piece of piano music as I have ever heard. I'd love you to transcribe this piece so I could have a go at playing it and, who knows?, maybe we could duet one day!

Boy do I love this, the music is awesome - just awesome - and I love when you whistle along as you're enjoying different bits. I can imagine doing it myself! Once again AWESOME++
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.

Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…
Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.
The source for this piece was a recording from my latest Reaktor instrument [TMA-2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyEEW-tCNL4) with a sample map constructed from [Richard Devines](http…
@MannequinRaces: Reaktor is still a great tool for experimenting with sound design and, as a bonus, you get a fantastic range of great instruments and effects. It does require some effort to learn and the program has some issues but it's totally worth it.
Thanks for your suggestions about creating space. You're right in that I just went for the first fast panning preset I liked and it is kind of monotonous after a while.
When I was working mostly in Logic I used to automate volume a lot which can also create space. But this is something I don't find as natural in Ableton. I think it's a consequence of the Session/Arrangement dichotomy that I'm not as happy with yet.
I'm working on something new & again using TMA-2 as one of my sources. I'll see if I can do a better job with it.

Stop! Motion! It has to happen. Sinister and clever (as usual). Congrats on 100 uploads! Here's to another 100.
Happy 100th Bags.
silky glitchy subbed sounds!
Great mix top sounds mate.
nice
Nice! Some super cool sounds you've created.
I LIKE IT
Nice mate great mix dig it.
May you never be squashed like a bug. With drinks.
One of your greatest tracks! Beautifully dark and powerful.
Mystic.

Mmm. A beautiful overture.
So, about this special place ..... Yeah I know who I am, is it me?
Intriguing and mystical.
Love it. Reminds me a little of my first time playing Halo but better.

Brilliant sounds mate. yes sound track material for sure.

Like this one, leaves me wanting more.
Work of art my man, work of art. I humbly salute you.
I sure enjoyed that.
Please come do some gigs in England!
This stuff is great to listen to, lovely warm ambience.
I'm with underwood :)

Enjoyed this one very much.
Fab, quite lifted my spirits! :)
Nice one Centurion.
Love this piece Lalo, beautiful.
That was lovely.
Like it.. Go Bunny!
Love this.
Awww who cares if you uploaded this before, it's great. You two play brilliantly together. I'd like to see it on video.
Bravo, superb intro. Love your voice & playing here.
