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.

(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've just been watching - in some awe - footage of the moment the tsunami struck part of the coast. I think this music captures my feelings quite well.
Reg was just tootling about with the piano and he got possessed by someone and just couldn't stop. He's thinking it must have been the Devil himself because he just couldn't stop......or maybe it was the Moonshine........
A very bitter account of leaving a job.

Yet here I stand any way
With a can of gas and a match

Thinking how after all this time
Still not sure what's yours and what's mine

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.
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..
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...

An oldie but goodie :)
Awesome!
Intriguing track. Compelling yet a little uncomfortable to listen to.
Love this one. Beautiful sound & vocals.
Nice sound, enjoyed it.
Love the sound.
Lovely sound and feel.
Enjoyed this piece.
Pretty cool. Liked the ending.
Really good, yes I can see what you are getting at :)
Nice beat, enjoyed this.
I was just beginning to wonder what was coming next when...
Love the feel and the groove of this piece. The very blended in vocal seems to fit really well. Enjoyed it.
Bravo, it is uplifting!
Lovely.
Nicely done. Very much so.
Great track, well done.
Our first cover version & I'm blown away. Love your take on it! As m'colleague says...
Beautiful.
