I was trying to tune my radio into a station I picked up, just for an instant, but I found it hard to keep a lock on it, I kept getting strange interferences.

5:25 kinda sounds like when I'd play with a knob on an old radio shack reverb efx box I had. I was going to use the sound it made for a voice in one of my animations. lol.

atmospherics is another interesting phenomenon..would go well with your software and the non-western take on music. Whistlers and white noise. Aurora's make REALLY interesting noises. You should download some samples and play with those too. Your kinda like an alien scooping up noises with a machine that twists and turns audio like putty. Wonder if black holes do the same thing? Light can't even escape those strange aspects of our universe.
Just don't go playing with time and space without a permit buddy...

This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
Another test of the Reichatron on a flute sample. The signal chain for version 1 of the ensemble is now completely worked out and only some details of the beat mode controls for navigating the loop around the sample remain.

please send me that link again so that I can hack with the 30 day trial version of the Reichatron. I was on my wife's computer when you sent me the link in the chat room and I didn't save it. How are things coming along?

One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…
After yesterdays experiment with noise gates and vocal transformers I thought I'd have another go using Rytme as the source material.

So... Reichenbach is now called **Reichatron**.
I felt that the new sonic mangling possibilities of the ensemble were reminiscent of a Japanese monster movie than a composer of beautifully intricate harmonies.

This is a short experiment with Version 0.99.9 of my *Reichenbach* phase-shifted looping Reaktor ensemble (try saying that 3 times fast!)
I took a 2 second long piano sample and fed it into the loopers which were running at 0.98x, 1.0x, and…
came across an interesting article while trying to understand what you are doing..
pretty fascinating.

Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.
I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…
Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…
Alright, so it turns out that I lied.
THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project.
(http://yelyah.com/music/song/lucid-traum…
Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
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…
A weeks gap has given me a little more perspective on this track and I've found more to like about it. Also in the light of my next track I can see this as an experiment with a new form. I doubt I'll do anything more with this but I can rest easier about it now ;-)
This is one track where I can say, without reservation, that I am really happy with how it came out.
I worked up a beat I liked with 3 Stylus RMX parts making good use of chaos and time designer for the breaks.
For the first time I really…
Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
In the days since I uploaded it I have come to a much greater appreciation of old Harry but you take it to another level.
I especially love the way you've blended the resonant sweeps with the harps.
Looking forward to future episodes!
So I still hate Ableton Live with a passion for anything piano related. But things seem to go better if I head straight to arrangement view once I'm out of the improvising stage and do my recording there, rather than trying to think that session…
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
Took a few hours to make. For example a lot of fades are hand drawn automation and the whole thing is 540 bars long so that took a while even though I can copy & paste automation data in Logic.
The 05:00 mark I went a bit mad with the filter resonance. I have a version where I clean that up a little and it sounds better I think. I might replace the online version.

Well you know on further listening I do find things to like in this. I'm inclined to give the process another go (maybe with a slightly shorter time frame) and think more about structure.
Thanks again for your comments folks.

Hi Kirk.
Thanks... I do have a crazy selection of effects these days which is responsible for a lot of the sonic mangling I can do. Over the next year or so I'd like to get more selective and more competent about the results :)
I also think Yelyah's onto something. This might actually be a "track" if it had more structure. As it is the micro-structure created by automation isn't enough.
Lots of things to work on!
Thanks again.

Yelyah, thank you for the encouraging words.
You're right that I have a pretty unsophisticated approach to what a "song" is. It's a facet I've begun to notice in everything I have done so far, that it is structurally uninteresting.
Guess I need to figure out how to take the next step!
Thanks again.

One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the first track I did, when I was still fresh.
I'd wanted to play around with Guitar Rig 3 since getting it at the weekend. The guitars are ableton loops mangled with guitar…

Bethan you're very kind to even attempt to listen to this!
The kick drum that runs through the track is the source of most of the sounds, just mangled, tortured, and beat into shapes & frequencies kick drums were never meant to reach.
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…

strange n' beautiful.
Ooh, liking 10.43+ especially. Lovely bluesy riff there!
This is like Star Trek incidental music. I wouldn't want to be one of the guys in the red shirts.
Wow this is making me insane. But I cant stop listening. This is really cool!

du tres bon travail,pour toute la production!!!

...Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells...
Oh great, this really helps with my Coulophobia. :) I'm with N.A., modern music school.
wow this really good it is very freaky, nice one mate
You want to test your Reicher. I think it's haunted. This is eerie, rusty, deserted, haunted, mannequin dolls, fairground horror chic.
Sounds like a monster/space movie soundtrack.
this sounds bitchin'
thank you sandbags.

Well glu nicked all the good stuff with the hint of jazz and Lost Highways references. I can't compete with that! But I enjoyed it none the less :)
Has a certain rawness and grittiness that reminds me of Bukowski's poetry.
Has a melancholy quality to it that I like. What sort of piano is that?
Love this track, more please!
Very nice.
Lovely swirly textures, we like :)
A weeks gap has given me a little more perspective on this track and I've found more to like about it. Also in the light of my next track I can see this as an experiment with a new form. I doubt I'll do anything more with this but I can rest easier about it now ;-)
Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)
Love the dark, metallic, and lost textures you got going on here.

This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.
No Logic 9 yet (only a matter of time though I think) but I liked this very much.

After several listens my only regret is that I can only favourite this track once :)

What can I say? This is beautiful and I think I shall listen to the whole thing all over again :)
I'm at 15:00 and it's been great so far.
