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…

One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the first track I did, when I was still fresh.
I'd wanted to play around with Guitar Rig 3 since getting it at the weekend. The guitars are ableton loops mangled with guitar…

I'm an old trance head, so I had to have a go at making a trance tune during the 24 hours. This had the advantage that I could stretch out the breakdown…
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. I'd just finished the trance track, it was 3am, and I wanted something completely different.
It's 110bpm, the piano is NI AkousticPiano Steingraber 130. The bass and organ are done…
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
MMi's Voices
http://alonetone.com/mmi/tracks/voices-3
MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is the first public output after going through about 40% of nickstutorials.com sound design series.
All the sounds started off with my sampling myself either saying something, clicking my fingers or clapping. They were recorded through…
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…
an exposition,traditional,of the raga ,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,inspired by a scenario,as if for a film,which my music normallt is.
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…
Just realized I wasn't following you so I hadn't noticed your latest track. It's got some lovely, ethereal, sounds in here and a beat that really carries it along. Cool track. So, it's been nearly two weeks, when can we expect Pomodoro 2? :)
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.

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
Comments made by Mr Sandbags
Great 24hr album octo!
Trippy, reminds me of days long gone :)
Love this track! The intro is especially great, really hooked me into it.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Simple beat but some great sounds and variations to keep it going.
This has a great, laid back vibe. I love the organs (must check out B4) and the horns. Sweet.
glu: :)
Sister is so cheap, not buying herself a thesaurus, that she has to steal "WOW!" from me... hands off! WOW! :)
Dreamy :)
This is awesomely impressive man.
Cool sound.
Sounds like film music, reminiscent of a western. Right now I'd like to be the hero striding into that storm because it is too HOT!
This one grew on me as it went along. The 'verbed guitars are very nice. I expect to hear more of them in due course ;-)
Good music to code to, kinda reminds me of Zatôichi.
Lovely, too short :)
Love this one.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Wow. Beautiful, grimy, like someone giving a last salute to a barge full of gravel going over a waterfall.

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.
