This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…
This track is a second attempt to put Kavin's beautiful track [Poor Boy](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/poor-boy) through my Steve Reich style phase shifting looper.
In the first I had it play through the whole track but I didn't think it…

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.
MIDI was supplied via IAC from Reaktor using Lazyfish's Spiral sequencer. The project…
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…

Thank you for the lovely comments about my recent track.
I really like the percussive sounds in this they really create a great upbeat vibe for the whole track.
I wanted to make a track for halloween but technology problems and time have conspired that I didn't get very far.
However I'm uploading the first couple of minutes of what I have.
Have a spooky night!
I like this. I am a Sci-Fi fan and this could be a soundtrack of the next Sci-Fi movie. I imagine starships moving slowing through a crowded space with planet earth in the background. This might be the opening scene.
I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
Another in my series of experiments with the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function.
I used two instances of Metaphysical Function to generate a soundscape that was bounced to audio, chopped up, and re-arranged.
The whole thing was rather…

A late night meditation.
Here's the process:
Started just auditioning sounds in my Live library. When I do this, I play some random chords or two note intervals; often not looking at my hands or the keyboard. That's the spark. Here I started…
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…
This is a short teaser of my Electro-like remix that I entered into a contest organized by the Dutch radio station SlamFM.
I haven't uploaded the full thing because I don't want to get into copyright issues, so if you like the sound of the beat…
Logic's noise gate and vocal transformer are my new best friends. I really enjoyed messing with them and thought I'd have another go.
I've always quite liked pulsing ambient and it seemed to come naturally. This time we have Rytme playing Kore…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
well done mate like it
Nicely done mate
I think this one worked out really well. A definite grower.
Interesting. Tends to bring out elements that just whizz by in the original. Cool, thanks.
Thanks Mr.Sandbags. More live stuff to come real soon.
excellent...man, I love this.
I'm really liking rytme and elesium. Both very cool and complimentary to each other and composition in general.
Thank you for the lovely comments about my recent track. I really like the percussive sounds in this they really create a great upbeat vibe for the whole track.
Cool sounds and textures!

I like it too. Intriguing.
Talking Sun, shinin'. Matt's style
Wow cool sounds mate. Thanks for your recent comment and no there is no washboard, played around with the beatbox and that's what came.
Nice one mate that certainly has potential.
And what a rhythmic sun it is. Very cool (especially for a sun). Vox please.
Much better the second time around. I feel good!!!
Very very cool. But I didn't have you pegged as a reggae fan. Ya think you know someone... :-)
Holy crap. Glad I didn't listen this last night.
Infectious rhythm! Great stuff!
def. one of my favorites that you have done.
Comments made by Mr Sandbags
Like it.
Beautiful!
Oh I *like* this! Correction... I *lurve* this!
Can't figure out how I didn't favourite this one first time around, it's lovely!
Kirk I've really enjoyed going through your ambient stuff (and also your bluesy stuff!) I can decide between this one and Ambient experiment 2. They're both delicious.
I think that e-bow may have pushed you over the edge :)
This is brilliant! :)
Lovely sound Glu, quite transporting.
I love the sound you've created here.
Sweet sound.
Really enjoyed this track.
A man of many talents! Beautiful playing.
I enjoyed all 5 very much. I'm looking forward to what you do next.
Bring on the Trombones! Love it :)
Lovely atmospheric track.
Very very cool, i love it!
The remix is an awesome track ... I definitely encourage anyone to go listen to the full thing!
Must have made some snafu when I bounced it first time around, should be okay now.
Hrmm... where did my reverb tail get to...
Glu you're very kind but I'm just busking here ;-) Be very glad for you to use anything of mine in your tracks. In fact it would be awesome!
