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 feel like I'm aloft and tumbling wildly across vistas of 80's virtual reality grids as I'm listening to this like Tron meets a bad case of sunstroke. Nice use of pitch.
A demo track for a new Reaktor instrument I'm building codename: Mimetron.
Loop Guitar 1 is a long, flowing, ambient piece. Mellow with a few moments of grit.
Mimetron is a 3 voice sampler that is driven by incoming audio. It has 3 channels…
Thanks for the nice comments my friends. I've been away (for various reasons) from music for some time and this is one of my first few forays back. Trying to recapture my spirit of adventure!
This is the first track made with my new Reaktor instrument 'Super Scanoid' which might just have well been named '1950s Sci-Fi Soundtrack Generator".
The sounds it makes with this sample (a bouncy pizzicato cello) reminded me of the score from…

Two guitar tracks, lots of effects and some beer.
For the gear heads, the effects list was:
EHX - Freeze
EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo
TC/PGS - Trinity Reverb
xotic - EP booster
NI - Guitar Rig 4
I'm playing with making short animated movies (about 1 minute long at the moment) using ArtMatic and Studio Artist. This is a track composed to go with one of those movies.
It uses an original violin sample from Markus Czwiertnia.
I love the music and tone of this one. The way the opening draws you in, the tension of the strings, and the rising, sucking, synth almost like someone whistling across a wasteland. Yet the strings bring you back! The whole thing is more than the sum of its parts.
After a long summer of doing stuff other than recording it was time to get back on the horse.
Sonically, this isn't much of a departure but I am trying a couple of new things technically.
One it that I spent more time on the drums (an achilles…
Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…
I agree it's a bit shrill in places. This track is actually one of the few times I've thought I shouldn't just publish but should polish. I often struggle with this feeling and - as with this track - lose.

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I'm getting some odd distortions on playing here this morning that I didn't notice in the original (esp. since this piece doesn't play "hot"). They're not supposed to be there. Odd.

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.
From a "Rustles" cycles, mysterious Matt.

Brilliant sounds mate. yes sound track material for sure.

Cool track.
Thanks for the kind words folks, gave me a lift :)

Thanks Len. Looks like I have a lot of your uploads to catch up on!
Hmmm listening in headphones there's very little movement which creates a disappointingly static impression. Something to work on.
Thanks guys, inebriated waveforms could be said to be the speciality of the house!
This does have a Sci-fi feel to it. I think it fits right in with Voyager-1 leaving our solar system.
Why thank you all, glad you like :)
Think maybe we should do an extended version one day :)
Ah that last comment was from me, didn't notice I wasn't logged in.
Like it.
Great drone, love the percussion, cool track!

Drama is clearly good for you :)
That was really good Steve. One strangeness: the track is listed as being 6:16 long but stops (seemingly naturally) at 5:52.
That was awesome guys.
