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…

I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Fun, I love messing around like this myself. MIDI is a different kind of musical power and, combined with your talents for playing with real instruments... well I look forward to the mayhem to come :)
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
"pastlife laptops and attic instruments" is a composition from 2004 that I wrote to perform with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. This is the pre-recorded electronic part that accompanies a (mostly) written-out saxophone part and an ad libitum improvisation…
A little something that came out of playing with the Max4Live content.
The guitar sound, which I'm particularly happy with is a combination of my GT-10, CamelSpace and the M4L buffer shuffler.
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

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

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

Took your advice and my ears are now bleeding but happy :)
I for one am grateful for our impending roasting if it inspires you to make such music :)
Enjoyed this very much Erik. Great beat and so many interesting sounds in there.
This is a very odd approach to music.
If they do another remake of War of the Worlds I'm putting your name down for the soundtrack.
Ah, love this.. especially the change just after the 2:00 mark. It seems that, in the right circumstances, schmalz can be a good thing :)
Another sweet track. I hope it won't be too long before you have some more stuff to upload!
I think it's awesome that I have no clue what your "tech" means. Doesn't stop me loving the sound :)
Not a rock fan here but I enjoyed this very much!
Beautiful.
Absolutely love the sound you've created here.
Man I'd love to come here you play this sort of stuff. Fabulous.
I liked it. There's something pleasing about the tension between the lackadaisical vocal style and the distortion on the beats.
Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?
Boy that was great, lovely ambience.
I like it.
Melancholy and touching.
Beautiful. Again the piano is also lovely.
