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…

I had to listen to this again straight away because I love the ambience of the piece. My favourite part is the 60s from 2m40 which is deliciously eerie and more than a little ominous. You've given me lots of ideas.
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
Another in my ongoing series of experiments with the Reaktor instrument 'Metaphysical Function'.
This was produced and recorded entirely in Reaktor with the resulting AIFF file converted to MP3 using Fission.
In this piece I start with one…
Heh... i've been listening on monitors (I have a pair of KRK-RP5's) so maybe haven't experienced the full dose of HF myself :)
And Wildgeas, I hope that's a good kind of hurt :)
I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.
Working with wet (pre…
Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…
A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
If it makes you laugh, you're supposed to laugh. If it makes you feel sick, you're meant to feel sick. If you like it, thanks. I saw you in the locker bay. I heard you like Toulouse-Lautrec. and by the way I didn't write the last twenty seconds…
Thank you so much for your comment on my Metamorphosis-1 track. I hope PG would agree since I do love his music and would hate to think I'd cause him offence.
This is one of several beat tracks for my new piece "Z-Land" for string orchestra, amplified string quartet, and DJ. The full piece will be performed by the Zeeland High School Orchestra (from Zeeland, MI) November 20 at the Baltimore City school…
Still under construction. Or maybe not. Bassline might be replaced by a real bass, maybe, and I'm not sure if I'll keep the Ableton Live softsynths as I may replace them with hardware. Maybe. I could just end up leaving it the way it is.
The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…
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!

Great track and I love the piano on here, fantastic.
I've listened through and love the cool, laid back chic, of your pieces. Great sound and style.
Woah... loved this, very immersive.
This is really fabulous, love the sound, love the playing. Sad when it ended, but you'll upload more won't you? :)

Ahh.. the creepy music box at the end top's it off horribly :)
What Kirk said.
Oh, this is a bit different. Love the way the track builds up and then decays at the end.

Rock isn't a genre I'll listen to often but I liked this.
Thanks folks. I had a lot of fun with this.
@lokakuunmaa: what an awesome comment mate, thank you :) It happens that Apollo is my favourite Eno album evar!
What a wonderful concoction.
Encore!
*joins applause*
Totally hypnotic.

This is great Erik, love it!
Liked this one a lot. I'm not sure if it would sound better with hardware and a different bassline. Sounded pretty cool to me as it is :)
Lovely sound.
