Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…

The title came to me as I was listening to the track and was reminded of looking through [Savage's](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) telescope at a starry sky and us being completely unable to figure out how to get it aligned :)

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…

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
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…
For the upcoming Mobtown Modern show "Low Art" next Wednesday, Brian Sacawa will perform (among other pieces in the jumbo saxophone repertoire) "Maknongan" by Giacinto Scelsi (performed on bari sax). For the event, Brian asked me to create a remix…
Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…

Uploaded a new version which fixes the drums although there's still a feedback problem (related to MIDI timing I think) that needs to be fixed in a final mix.

Okay this is the problem with mixing being "throw a mastering channel strip on it, bounce, upload". At some point about the 2 minute mark the drums track have cut out - probably overloaded Reaktor again. So then you get 2:30 that is largely just the bass.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
I dig this mate very cool.
Frankly, I like this piece as it is. You've left space without the feeling that something is missing.
I love this...
Reaktor is pretty damn cool and this is a fine example.
very cool mad scientist stuff ;)
Ethereal bells and grit! Can't go wrong with that, IMO. Wonderful instrument you've created, Mr. Bags.
Unable to put my finger on precisely why but your recent work is really speaking to me. But why ask why. Bravo.
fantastic sonic manipulation. Will have to look up the GB novel.
That is very cool mate
Epic!
Nice soundscape. Shimmer was a great addition!
This is the track I wish I created this weekend. Fabulous.
@wg: My plan to have Professor Plum take the fall has come to naught I see :)
Always a wonderful lesson in sound. Dramatic intro. It has that murder mystery feel to it. It was Mr. Bags in the Kitchen, with a knife.
very cool!
@bethan: thanks, that's an evocative image, i like it.
@Johnny: thanks, i think it shows some promise :)
Sounding good Bags! Puts me in mind of swirling desert winds!
Now that is very cool mate. Great sound.
wow. thats such an intense experience. mindblowing through the headphones

Welcome Seth :)
Perfect Sunday morning track.
Oh man that was great.

I believe Sister is channel the shorts... or something :)
That was rather fun :)
Love your sound.
Love this.
I enjoyed this one very much.
Cool sound.
What an awesome track, I love this.
Awesome track man, this puts me in mind of my beloved Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. Kudos to you!
Very chilled. Bring on the full track.
I'm really liking your stuff and happy to see a fellow Logic user!

Fabulous sound. Liked this one very much.
I love the hauntingly distant piano's you've created here. Very much.
I was so totally there. Awesome.
