Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.

Leading edge FX man.
At first it was sort of any way the wind blows, then at 2 minutes I had to close my door because it got spooky in here. I'd like to hear it with other Sandbags type sounds.
This was a piece I made with Reichatron back in January and, at the time, didn't upload.
I had the odd experience of momentary unfamiliarity, enjoyment, and a sense of "Did I make this?"
Listening to it again I enjoy the way it drifts in…

Yeah, there's a subtle flavour of industrial jazz to this. Makes me think of riding a rickety tram with a host of vampires...only I am also hiding my fangs.
I spent 15 hours composing and playing this or, I should rather say, this is the sole product of 15 hours of sitting with Live & my piano.

The fourth piece in my 'Dissolving into Noise' collection IV was made entirely with my new Reaktor instrument "Yottskry" (see the [demo video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEjtiTeR8w8) for more info on Yotskry).

Actually I made this track back in 90's. While making it I imagined a lounge bar in a lunar space station. In this bar travellers of different species meet each other. When you sit there you might hear some fragments of discussions in a language…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
Thank you for all the kind words.
@MMI: By 'mess' i refer to what I perceive as a lack of underlying structure combined with over-density.
I guess I wasn't so much being pejorative about my work (although given past comments I've made I can understand why that conclusion might be reached) so much as indicating that I am aiming towards something more deliberate, more structured, and sparser.
Of course whether I get there, or somewhere totally different, is quite another matter :)

nebulonicalchemy: that's a greatquestion. Glitchiness is something that is easy to understand when you already know and quite hard to describe otherwise. But here goes:
A glitch is usually a minor malfunction in a system where something doesn't work quite right (but isn't a complete meltdown). So in audio terms is might be described as something that doesn't sound right, in the context of the original sound, for a brief period.
The Finger is a MIDI driven effect unit that provides a number of effects suitable for creating audio glitches for example short loops, pitch shifting, comb filters, scratches and so on.
The untreated audio is fed through The Finger and, when it receives appropriate MIDI, it applies an effect but only for so long as the MIDI note is being played. So you get "audio glitches" interrupting the normal playback of the piece.
This piece is so convoluted that it's hard to hear a clear separation between glitch and non-glitch. I'll try and do something about that in the next piece.
This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back.
* Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums
* Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth
* Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting.
Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…
My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…
Congratulations! Awesome achievement and I like this one. It puts me in mind of Colin Garveys WooHoo song. He did that at the end of the 24hr album last year. It was also "of it's moment" and expresses some of the same feelings. Maybe you will enjoy it too!
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
I love this.
It puts me in mind of an experiment I was thinking about to alternately record & reverse parts so you end up with an interlocking series of forward and reverse sounds. Probably turn into sonic mush but could be kind of fun.
Thanks for the inspiration!

nice collage collagge? colagge? co-lagde dreamy

You seem to be taking a completely new turn in the road these days, my bags. Liking it! And YES, persevere with this compelling, uneasy gem!
Haunting and moody, with wonderful tone and reverberation. I'd definitely love to hear what else you come up with if you do extend on this.
Yeah- this could really go someplace very cool. Like it!
A thing of magnificence, strength and beauty.
I always dig your crazy otherworldly sounds! And yeah, don't hold back on us, keep 'em coming!
Top one mate really cool.
I dig this and really hope you do something further with it (though it's also beautiful just the way it is)!
What a pleasant surprise. I didn't know you had such talented piano fingers. More please..
Incomparable! your always breaking new ground with cool sound.
Incomparable! your always breaking new ground with cool sound.
Great sounds mate very cool.
total kick ass man. Its putting my mind at ease.
That's some wild sounding stuff!
pretty cool man.
Great sounds mate well done.
ooh I like this

This one turned out awesome.. it all fit together beautifully in the end :)
What a cool, eclectic, mix. Liked this one, especially the sound of the piano running through it and counterpointing the glitchiness.
Enjoyed this. What time signature are you experimenting with?
Beautiful.
Here's hoping Brando is the guvnor then! Great track!
Liked this a lot!
Thank you so much folks for your comments, they're very encouraging!
Oh this is good, very good. Really hoppingly glitchy. Love it.
Lovely and weird, and that's before the Toucans come in!
What glu said!
Short but sweet :)
Welcome! Love the upright bass and the ethereal jazzy feel over the dark overtones. What's that sound at the end?
Oh man I love what you've done with this, absolutely love it!
Coming back to this I still love it. Wish I could favourite it again. How you doin?
