It's been so long since I've made any music I've kind of forgotten how. I was just noodling about and thought I had a sound I liked so I bounced it out quite quickly.

Thanks for the kind words both. Chris it is a pretty good idea but I can't take any credit for that, I got it from Pendle @ SoundDust. He uses it to build his Plastic Ghost Piano and I thought it sounded like something cool to play with.
I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.

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've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
No rhyme, no reason, just a colony of mournful machines piping their clangorous, grinding sonorisms at each other across an barren electronic landscape.
This will also be some of the source material that I will process later into something…

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…
A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
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…

Otherwise known as the 'opus'. This song was my life for a good year. Left forgotten in the dusty hills of Santa Fe. This is pretty much the A section :)
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…
Very nice. With respect to your question I am still very much a beginner with piano but I am being taught Blues and that seems to involve a lot of interesting bass lines. Maybe that might be something to check out?
I was trying to tune my radio into a station I picked up, just for an instant, but I found it hard to keep a lock on it, I kept getting strange interferences.
From what I could hear it sounded like someone sent [MMI](http://alonetone.com/mmi…
I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh?
I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM.
And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
How could I not love something made with the sweat of my brow (and for once there really was a lot of sweat!). I enjoyed what you've done arranging the Reichatron output with other parts. This is fun :)
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Very nice - glad you're back to making music. I'm also a big fan of Permut8, but was unaware of Boscomac's page; thanks for including that info.
Liking the underpinning energy.
this sounds positively haunted. really digging it.
Psychotic mermaids. Everywhere. Not for the aquatic paranoid.

what a unique idea! Thank you for this great aural experience!
This is awesome. I'm transported to a quiet but alarming place. Very cool.
Dig this
A fabulous compilation of sounds, dark colors, bitter flavors, a caress of eeriness. Love it!
This is amazing in my denon's
Works for me! Love it -- Rock on!
Ah we had some fun. :)
This just came up in my itunes shuffle play and I was all "damn, like this, what is it?" a little digging and I found myself here :)
Traffic jam clowns!
Touché Igor :)
...then I, without special reason, descended into the abyss of black of bass. Will I find there what you need? Or, on the way, I lost myself?
Dig! Love it! Very groovy!
Rediscovering... very cool.
Very nice work, I love the way the ambience flows. Also the Reaktor ensemble looks like a nice piece of programming.
cool trip we have here

I am a sucker for good solo piano, this is lovely.
My thanks to all those who contributed vocals to this track: GCD, Sudara, Marlena, MMI, La Savage, Robot Molly, Matt Savigear, Wildgeas, and me!

Hopefully Reichatron will go live early next week. I can't upload it to the UL myself as it's too big, but NI have offered to do it.
This is wonderfully dark and beautiful. I think it would be quite something to hear it live!
I don't know from chord progressions but it sounds pretty good to me!
I don't see what needs re-recording but you know best. Really good, can't believe how quickly 9:20 slipped by :)
Love this, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it has a wistful quality that I found very moving.
Sounds like I am going to enjoy your RPM album a lot!
Beautiful! Not wasting any time getting started are you? :-)
Fab playing you guys, I could listen to this for hours.
Beautiful.
I love it, warts and all. Maybe especially for the warts :)
Wonderful sound. More experiments to come?
That was beautiful.
Was that your Boss GT-10 at work? Very dark and brooding.
How could I not love something made with the sweat of my brow (and for once there really was a lot of sweat!). I enjoyed what you've done arranging the Reichatron output with other parts. This is fun :)
Lovely, perfect for a still, frosty, night.
Love this one, lovely sounds.
Well, I would never have expected to enjoy this - not the kind of thing I would normally listen to at all - but I did. Great stuff!
