Never throw anything you've created away.
I've come close and always been happy about keeping stuff later.
As to this track, supercool. Especially when that buzzy thing comes sweeping through. Awesome.

Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.

So far the comments have been about the sounds and their scariness. For me, however, the magic comes from those sounds used with a fairly funky and happy motif. The juxtaposition is very cool. Strange as it sounds, I hear a dub influence (cue you saying WTF?!?)

OK, eeeeasy. Move away from the sharp objects.
...Possibly reserve more intelligent listens/comments until the morning, but suffice to say, I think you probably achieved what you set out to achieve. *scared*

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…
I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…

Ooh twinkly and thought-provoking. Makes me think of the ghost of a child following someone and hiding quickly behind corners and in doorways whenever the person being followed turns to look. I hear churchbells too. Haunting!

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…

The mannequins! They're ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whew, good thing you kept this one. I like the chime.
grimey!
Like it! Especially the beats, halfway through I was thinking of wailing robots echoing through a very large spaceship
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.

okay, sandbags, time for a scary clown avatar. this one will make it difficult to turn out the light tonight.
So *that's* what a space trumpet sounds like. I had always wondered.
Like this nice and raw nice one
Hard to pass up a great title like this one. ;) (Excellent use of Augustus Loop, btw...)
*hides*
I never know what to say while I'm listening to this but I have to keep coming back and listen again!

Suspenceful...with ambient and cinematic overtones. One to really get the imagination working.
Atmospheric with a world beauty.
Wow- There should be a film to go with this. I'm not going to see it alone though!! Great sounds
Sounds good here! It turns my sunny green garden into the Outback!!

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!
