heh, by not fading out, you snapped me right out of the trance you put me in...
Sadly for me, the tech info in the about went right over my ol' dinosaur head. But I really like the texture of that bell sound as well as the rhythmic variations (even if I do have a brain the size of a walnut).

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.

Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.

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…
Didn't really grab me at first, but after about 5 minutes in 'click' and I'm loving it. I'm definitely planning on downloading a bunch of your tracks for offline headphone listening while armed with one of those funny cigarettes. ;)

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 cinematic, I love the space in it, makes me imagine a self-luminated living cave system. I'll be listening again on a nice pair of headphones later on tonight. Keep it coming! :)
A late night meditation.
Here's the process:
Started just auditioning sounds in my Live library. When I do this, I play some random chords or two note intervals; often not looking at my hands or the keyboard. That's the spark. Here I started…
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…
This is a short teaser of my Electro-like remix that I entered into a contest organized by the Dutch radio station SlamFM.
I haven't uploaded the full thing because I don't want to get into copyright issues, so if you like the sound of the beat…
Logic's noise gate and vocal transformer are my new best friends. I really enjoyed messing with them and thought I'd have another go.
I've always quite liked pulsing ambient and it seemed to come naturally. This time we have Rytme playing Kore…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
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.

Inspiring! Can hear vocals poured all over this!
this is sweet man
i like the vinyl bass to it..impressive stuff!
i like the variations in the bass. very atmospheric song.
very subtle and nuanced, excellent ambient..
Psychedelic!
nice ambient!!
nice ambient!!

I love big, never ending pads. Honored to even be considered a speck in this great expanse
Very Cool! Really digging this bit around 6 minutes or so!

This is a keeper. That thing that sounds like a guitar is actually an affected piano? Very cool.
Marvellous, really, really good. :)
I can feel vacuum of space sucking the eyeballs out of my sockets even as I type this.
Yes - I love it.

Like it.
Beautiful!
Oh I *like* this! Correction... I *lurve* this!
Can't figure out how I didn't favourite this one first time around, it's lovely!
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
I think that e-bow may have pushed you over the edge :)
This is brilliant! :)
Lovely sound Glu, quite transporting.
I love the sound you've created here.
Sweet sound.
Really enjoyed this track.
A man of many talents! Beautiful playing.
I enjoyed all 5 very much. I'm looking forward to what you do next.
Bring on the Trombones! Love it :)
Lovely atmospheric track.
Very very cool, i love it!
The remix is an awesome track ... I definitely encourage anyone to go listen to the full thing!
Must have made some snafu when I bounced it first time around, should be okay now.
Hrmm... where did my reverb tail get to...
Glu you're very kind but I'm just busking here ;-) Be very glad for you to use anything of mine in your tracks. In fact it would be awesome!
