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.

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 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.

(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.

MMi's Voices
http://alonetone.com/mmi/tracks/voices-3
MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is the first public output after going through about 40% of nickstutorials.com sound design series.
All the sounds started off with my sampling myself either saying something, clicking my fingers or clapping. They were recorded through…
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.

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 24hr album octo!
Trippy, reminds me of days long gone :)
Love this track! The intro is especially great, really hooked me into it.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Simple beat but some great sounds and variations to keep it going.
This has a great, laid back vibe. I love the organs (must check out B4) and the horns. Sweet.
glu: :)
Sister is so cheap, not buying herself a thesaurus, that she has to steal "WOW!" from me... hands off! WOW! :)
Dreamy :)
This is awesomely impressive man.
Cool sound.
Sounds like film music, reminiscent of a western. Right now I'd like to be the hero striding into that storm because it is too HOT!
This one grew on me as it went along. The 'verbed guitars are very nice. I expect to hear more of them in due course ;-)
Good music to code to, kinda reminds me of Zatôichi.
Lovely, too short :)
Love this one.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Wow. Beautiful, grimy, like someone giving a last salute to a barge full of gravel going over a waterfall.

And thank you all guys. It's great to get feedback :)
MM: Well ... it hadn't occurred to me but I did just buy my first dub album and listen to it today ... maybe it did influence me.
