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…
With my deepest apologies to Chopin...
This is a very simple experiment in re-synthesis using the MetaSynth 5.3 ImageSynth.
I took Chopin's Nocturn No. 1 in B-Flat Minor and converted it into a spectrogram which was then used to re-synthesize…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
Once again the source material is a snippet of beautiful piano from [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) only this time I fed it to a new Reaktor instrument that I am working on call Tukuramu.
Okay so tukuramu does not mean earth-quake but…
Made with the Boité Diabolique playing some piano and cello samples. I did a bit of hand editing in Live and then added some light compression, reverb, and limiting.

I was working on a piano phrase played by Alonetone supremo [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) (about which, more later).
One of the approaches I took was to load the phrase into the Time Freezer instrument and play it. I kind of got lost…

A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…

Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
This is the recording of my performance of Einaudi's 'I due fuimi' at the Littlewick Green church hall as part of the Cherry Garden Music winter concert.
It was played on a seemingly quite old Steinway concert grand. I aim to find out more…
This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
Listening again and I actually really love the lo-fi almost accidental feel to this recording. Work of art. My one regret is that I can't double-favourite it.
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

Thanks for the kind words both. Chris it is a pretty good idea but I can't take any credit for that, I got it from Pendle @ SoundDust. He uses it to build his Plastic Ghost Piano and I thought it sounded like something cool to play with.
No rhyme, no reason, just a colony of mournful machines piping their clangorous, grinding sonorisms at each other across an barren electronic landscape.
This will also be some of the source material that I will process later into something…
Has the feel of drifting effortlessly through different spaces. I like the sparseness and the use of a range of sounds. Geosonics looks like a great source material.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
enjoyed these - great stuff!!
Strangely beautiful!
Beautiful sounds!
Yes, this is STRANGELY enchanting. I don't usually go for this sort of stuff but I have really enjoyed this!
Dig the cellic flavourings.
Remote echo of the stones, rolling; tide, from under the water...
Super cool. I love the dark tension.
Ambient G-E-N-I-U-S. Cool ending bits.
Desert winds...
Strangely enchanting!
There's gold in them thar waves.
Very cool and fruitful sonic mining. Inspiring.
I could get lost in it too. Nice!
Funny.... I have a feeling this would be the soundtrack of the world if time was frozen......greatly enjoyed.
Nice! Mysterious sounds
Wow! Very cool sounds there!
Ha! This is sweet!
very nice - alien sounds - it should be the world anthem for the spacer world Aurora in Asimov's I Robot series.
Listened to this twice in a row, it has a really nice mood.
nice one!

If anything can be very lovely, this is.
I like, especially the part around the 1m mark onwards, nice choice and mix of sounds, and nice outro a little haunting as 2starsho says.
Can you see this?
Lovely sound and beautiful vocals. I especially liked where it sounded like you were self-harmonizing.
Thanks Tess, that’s very kind :-)
I liked this until the voices cut in… then I loved it.

I have no idea why I thought "Edward Lear" and "Ring Modulator" in the same moment. Probably I shouldn't have.
Great track, music and vocals blend well.
Like this.
Interesting variety, works well.
Gets nice and dark around 3:15, I like it.
Love when it really kicks in at ~2:40, great stuff.

Touché Igor :)
This is very sweet.
Hey this is pretty cool, totally trips along.
Oh I do love that guitar sound you got going and you know I like the loopin :)

Nice use of radio noise. Like it.
