This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
very nice sound space,, the sounds do pan well through my speakers (just got a new set, and this sounds really cool),, i am always impressed by the range for music/sound/feelings found on alonetone,, from my old piano plunking to your spatial symphony,, through the great guitar and vocals,, so much here to enjoy,, anyhow well played

Love all the different sounds and textures. I sure am a sucker for textured and layered sounds in music! Some really cool 'underwater' sounds! Thanks for your recent comment on my newest song 'The End'.

Chilling and charismatic. Love all the different elements that force unsettling images in to my mind. Dark steps down shiney corridors, naked lightbulbs swinging from decaying ceilings... Okay, maybe I don't "love" that, but I'm definitely impressed by it! I think the Brothers Quay will be after you.

An experiment in using [Photosounder](http://photosounder.com/) which is a spectral editing tool.
This track started as a sharp tin can hit which I turned into a droning gong. But I had no idea where to go next.
So I started rifling through…
Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…

thanks re skree. the thing about noise (for me) is it can be so fun! there's a built-in visceral excitement and the challenge is harnessing it into musical contexts.
man, Lao Jia is hypnotizing me!
This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
Really nice Bruce.
I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
Some kind of rap-music. Made with a little bit tongue in cheek approach. I've filtered the rap artists voice so much that i'd rather leave his name unpublished.
Sometime yesterday, sandbags posted "In the Ocean of Night".
Fuelled by a lovely walk and some pints, I was inspired to make some additions.
Technical/process details:
Guitar was my Michael Kelly going into GT-10 which had compressor, delay…
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…

Amazing mix of sounds mate very cool indeed.

Wow this is unreal mate eerie sounds great track. Thanks for your comments mate.

Stop motion! Stop motion!
Lovely crackles in this one. Tons of wonderful textures.
Well spotted Kirk, yes.
What an experiment! Is that the "all around my hat" sample?
In my hands Loop Shifter is anything but subtle :)
might be a leeetle to experimental for what they want for Ramen, but I liked it! Bethan singing? Really?
The more I hear this, the more inspired I am to do something really sinister.
Billowy. Those sounds layered quite nicely!
great dream ambient
Yeah man. Crunchy!

loving the sounds and atmosphere. i gotta listen again.
What a blend dude! Great software!
Sounds like the soundtrack to someone being slowly drugged at a carnival. Very effective! Love the underground gong sound. Deliciously dark!
This is sensational! Permission to download, loop and warble on?

Comments made by Mr Sandbags
Bravo! Bravo!
I think it's too long, not enough variation, and needs at least some filtering. Might try a cello next time, or maybe a harmonica.
@Bethan: thanks... something like "Passing of the comet" would have been a much better title :)
@igor: it's often the way with poetry, no? But you offer an interesting historical footnote :) But, in a sense, the poem is a distraction.
Really nice Bruce. I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Like I said for the demo, really strong track with a great sound & vocal. I like this one very much.
@igor: words fail me :) @sister: thank you :)
@Bethan: thanks... my imagery was of drifting far out on the edge of the solar system. A very similar feel... down in the inky depths.
Like your sound and the vocal, good track.
That's pretty cool. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I like it.
That was quite a trip!
Cool track.
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
Really cool. Geas is right, but you gotta play the UK!!
@wg: My plan to have Professor Plum take the fall has come to naught I see :)
@bethan: thanks, that's an evocative image, i like it.
@Johnny: thanks, i think it shows some promise :)
Grungy and great!
@Sis: Have to be careful of things swooping on you strangely :)
Even your rehearsals are ACE! :)
