Warning: silliness ahead! alloy (along with this months issue of MusicTech) got me into the creative possibility of gate and pitch shifting effects so I spent a happy morning playing with Logic's noise gate, vocal shifter, and ring shifter…

Another build of Rytme, another experiment. This time the major change is that Rytme now provides a deep level of control over rhythm density which I use here to layer the more ghostly piano over the Liquid piano (both are Logic presets). I use…

I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces. MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…

A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…

So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion). I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…

Okay so I enjoyed doing Glubotism1 enough that I thought I'd take a second crack at it. Same tools but took a different approach to how I used Stylus RMX and I introduced some of it's built-in effects on some of the parts. Also I bused RMX and…

So, in http://alonetone.com/mmi/tracks/8853, MMI offers us his take on a Glubot beat. I gently seasoned it with Replicant and then added 6 whacking great slices of Stylus RMX to came up with this...

So I got Stylus RMX and this was my first attempt to use it multi-timbrally in Logic. It was accompanied by Elysium playing Omnisphere and me playing Reaktor on the keyboard. I still have no idea how to come up with bass lines so this was me playing…

MMI gave me one of his loops to play with (maybe he'll upload the original loop for comparison). Anyway this is my first real attempt at using a loop so I butchered it pretty liberally. Let me know what you think.

This started from the idea of the sample which comes from a very old (deleted) audio book of the Wind in the Willows. The problem was that I had no idea what to do after laying down the beat, bass, and sample. I ended up dumping a crappy hand…

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…

Was this the crappy, overlong, attempt at an ambient track that I did to try and fill time?

A very dull title, I guess my hopes for this track are not high :)

Oh wait, I think this may be the crappy ambient track.

Everything was getting to complex and messy so I tried to go back to layering more simple patterns with this one.

I liked the sound of this one but I don't know if it works as a track.

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

As much as anything this was practice for me in setting up Logic to record three separate instruments in 3 tracks. In this case I used the EXS synth with upright bass, fireball decay, and Tibetan singing bowls. It's almost my first real attempt…

I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.

A single layer experimental composition using Elysium 0.7.7 playing the Kore 2 instrument 'Abaska Bong' through the 'Hello Repeat' effect from the Kore 2 factory library. In this track both the tempo and the pulse rate of the generators are…
