I got stuck on a silly little musical phrase, noodling around with it on the piano, unable to let go of it and unable to really develop it into something more. I recorded myself playing a number of variations as I searched in vain for a deeper…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

A quick evenings experiment using granular re-synthesis of two samples some delay and reverb.

2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations. This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…

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…

The poem by Tennyson. Recording made with the Amberola.

Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it. At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression. One of the…

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…

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 :) The title itself…

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…

This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners. The instrument is an evolution of my…

Made from a sample of a clock ticking and chiming the hour.

Another experiment with MetaSynth this time taking a single bowed waterphone sample and running it through the Spectrum Synth. I then experimented with the tempo (spectral timestretching), interpolation settings, and applying formant filters to…

This is the first real "thing" I've created using [MetaSynth](http://www.uisoftware.com/MetaSynth/index.php) as I go through the extensive tutorials. This was the result of (somewhat haphazardly) drawing & sculpting pixels in the ImageSynth…
