A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…
your tracks are cool. good sounds and production. i'm wondering if you could add dynamic control to your programming giving more volume shape/build to your tracks.
Being as I am in something of a musical trough of despair (it's not as much fun as it sounds) right now I thought I'd try messing with my TMA-2 Reaktor instrument and try and coax some better results from it.

In a very good way this conjures up mid fifties Japanese short films. A bulldozer dragging a reluctant refrigerator through the dump. Seagulls argue over someone's sandwich and a young boy rides his bicycle as if he were on a magical horse. (all shot in grainy black and white on somebody's Mom's super-eight.
Thanks Mr. Bagszins

well, highly experimental, no doubt about that; and it does carry some underlaying structure. not quite steady though, but it is there, yes. - and overall, it has a very interesting contemporary flavor..
I think I may have gone too far!
I've been working on the Reichenbach signal chain to include filtering, distortion, EQ, and a resonator. I've also switched out the delay and gone hog wild with modulation.
This piece shows how way out the…
This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
nicely disturbing; maybe a tad too linear here and there, but that's certainly due to the formula. - i wonder if this could work with superformula and if so, what would be the output..
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.

@MannequinRaces: Reaktor is still a great tool for experimenting with sound design and, as a bonus, you get a fantastic range of great instruments and effects. It does require some effort to learn and the program has some issues but it's totally worth it.
Thanks for your suggestions about creating space. You're right in that I just went for the first fast panning preset I liked and it is kind of monotonous after a while.
When I was working mostly in Logic I used to automate volume a lot which can also create space. But this is something I don't find as natural in Ableton. I think it's a consequence of the Session/Arrangement dichotomy that I'm not as happy with yet.
I'm working on something new & again using TMA-2 as one of my sources. I'll see if I can do a better job with it.
I thought it might be interesting to post the source material I used in the track [IX](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/ix-2). This is the file generated by my TMA-2 instrument that I processed to make IX.

Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…

(Drool) Okay, I've always known that I've wanted to give Reaktor a shot but now I really want to try it out! Great stuff. I have no idea how to ad more space in something like this but I like it the way it is. My only suggestion to try out sometime is to vary the panning. Seems like the panning (ping pong effect) is pretty consistent. I would try varying it more (like faster panning for a bit, then slower, etc..). Anyways cool stuff!

RE
The samples were not carefully chosen just a few random snippets I had lying around and some vocal samples I've been collecting for another project. I just needed something to feed into it.
so long as it isn't our brainwaves! hehe. I'm lookig forward to hearing, and seeing what else you do with this

I had to listen to this again straight away because I love the ambience of the piece. My favourite part is the 60s from 2m40 which is deliciously eerie and more than a little ominous. You've given me lots of ideas.
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
Another in my ongoing series of experiments with the Reaktor instrument 'Metaphysical Function'.
This was produced and recorded entirely in Reaktor with the resulting AIFF file converted to MP3 using Fission.
In this piece I start with one…
Heh... i've been listening on monitors (I have a pair of KRK-RP5's) so maybe haven't experienced the full dose of HF myself :)
And Wildgeas, I hope that's a good kind of hurt :)
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.

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…
A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
If it makes you laugh, you're supposed to laugh. If it makes you feel sick, you're meant to feel sick. If you like it, thanks. I saw you in the locker bay. I heard you like Toulouse-Lautrec. and by the way I didn't write the last twenty seconds…
Thank you so much for your comment on my Metamorphosis-1 track. I hope PG would agree since I do love his music and would hate to think I'd cause him offence.
This is one of several beat tracks for my new piece "Z-Land" for string orchestra, amplified string quartet, and DJ. The full piece will be performed by the Zeeland High School Orchestra (from Zeeland, MI) November 20 at the Baltimore City school…
Still under construction. Or maybe not. Bassline might be replaced by a real bass, maybe, and I'm not sure if I'll keep the Ableton Live softsynths as I may replace them with hardware. Maybe. I could just end up leaving it the way it is.
The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…

great work sandbags,
very extraterrestrial! nice work.
I think you got something to work with here. It put me in a trance. Day dreaming sort of thing. Cool sounds Mr. Bags.

oldie but goodie.

well trying to write my own song
sounds awesome in the 'phones.

I prefer the source....but this is interesting as well.
I knew he was sending images into our heads wildgeas. hehe. I'll have to listen to the other tracks you did with this one sandbags.
Spacey man. Your buggin' me out. There's something crawling on me. It has teeth.
Thanks for your comment on Sunday Looping mate. You have a great weekend. Cheers.
This is cool too. Hmmm. Eenie-meanie...

Great track and I love the piano on here, fantastic.
I've listened through and love the cool, laid back chic, of your pieces. Great sound and style.
Woah... loved this, very immersive.
This is really fabulous, love the sound, love the playing. Sad when it ended, but you'll upload more won't you? :)

Ahh.. the creepy music box at the end top's it off horribly :)
What Kirk said.
Oh, this is a bit different. Love the way the track builds up and then decays at the end.
Heh... i've been listening on monitors (I have a pair of KRK-RP5's) so maybe haven't experienced the full dose of HF myself :) And Wildgeas, I hope that's a good kind of hurt :)
Rock isn't a genre I'll listen to often but I liked this.
Thanks folks. I had a lot of fun with this.
@lokakuunmaa: what an awesome comment mate, thank you :) It happens that Apollo is my favourite Eno album evar!
What a wonderful concoction.
Encore!
*joins applause*
Totally hypnotic.
Thank you so much for your comment on my Metamorphosis-1 track. I hope PG would agree since I do love his music and would hate to think I'd cause him offence.
This is great Erik, love it!
Liked this one a lot. I'm not sure if it would sound better with hardware and a different bassline. Sounded pretty cool to me as it is :)
Lovely sound.
