Random mischief. Ableton died halfway, so couldn't mix drums and bass properly. Ofcourse, then I rage and delete every Ableton file on the laptop. Heh, TMI.
Ahh, drone. Funny how extremely slow, repetitive, yet heavy phased guitars drown out the world and still make a melodious impact. Technically not much I would agree, but after listening to Xela's recitation, man, it just moves me.
There is a done…
Got more and more interested in shoegaze/uplifting indie/electronic music e.g. M83 or //orangenoise, so I tried to compose a bit. Really pleased with the result :D
Ghani Khan was an amazing poet and I'm always awed by his descriptions and sincerity. And I don't even speak his language! Please read his poetry at http://www.pashtoonkhwa.com/files/books/ghanikhan_poetry.pdf (it has translations) if you like…
always in search for inspirations! sometimes i will write a song about something so gut wrenching just to get the feel right and then change the words to something im comfortable saying to others. i really like this.
A Barren electric guitar that sounds as if it has been going through a broken amp. And complimenting synths and percussion.
In retrospect, it sounds a bit similar to Trent Reznor's work, but I have always been a fan of his music so no surprise.
I just saw a comment below that mentioned EARTH... I was thinking similar thought moments before I saw that comment... not meant to be a comparison, just noting that you are in very good company...
10 minutes in... other influences have entered the field... darkness headed towards becoming absolute.... very well done indeed, this is entering my pool of favorites... soon to be downloaded & enshrined on a shiny disc for late night ear goggle exploration... thanks for sharing! now 12 minutes in ... a promise of dawn to come...
5 + minutes in & I am enjoying this immensely! Starting to edge toward darkness now... 6 min... this seems to have far more thought put into it than my recent RPM soundscapes... this is extremely well done! ...still decending... 7 minutes in...
Signifies 'Day', second of the two part drone release under the moniker 'Bigotry'.
Usually it goes Day->Night, but because of the dark nature overall, decided to put this track after. The intro provides some soothing, followed by the dusk…
The wind roars. The night is pitch-black. The rails wet. Ideal.
I thought it would be harder. Perhaps it is only as hard as one deems it to be.
It approaches. I am terrified, but it needs to be done.
I let out everything that is human, as a…
I detest groups. It removes individualism from thoughts, and adds a false sense of comfort and ultimately dependence. They might be essential, for efficiency, for communication, but they should not be celebrated as much. Or maybe it’s just misanthropy…
Once I followed them. I didn’t want to be disappointed again.
No idea how it happened. They probably let me. Or maybe I let them, still haven’t figured that out yet.
Ended up in large, crowded hall, with everyone singing praises to their deity…

or... dig this, why not try a sensual massage from a manatee masseuse?
It's a fun, sexy time at the endless seafood buffet!
The little intro ballad here was inspired by the overly sentimental, 80's synth-cheese soundtrack to Wong…

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
A moody piece I whipped up while testing the new Live 9 beta.
Basically, two chords (Cmin7, Bmaj7) and some layered noodles.
Still have a busted finger, so the guitar playing is... restricted.
Two guitar tracks, lots of effects and some beer.
For the gear heads, the effects list was:
EHX - Freeze
EHX - Memory Man with Hazarai
TC - Hall of Fame Reverb
Digitech - JamMan Stereo
TC/PGS - Trinity Reverb
xotic - EP booster
NI - Guitar Rig 4
Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.

An as yet unused demo from RPM 2012... This was the last song I wrote in Feb 2012 & feel like it is a companion piece to the opening song, "You, Miles Away" -- a perfect little bookend, actually.

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…
Rather, it includes Norm's excellent track Pilón For A New Son (http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son). Was trying to find out how less I can get away with in rhythms while still having enough flow. Feedback welcomed :)
@Norm: Thanks! Yeah I can see what you mean, I love trying to implement other ideas in my music, trying to adapt to new styles etc. Lots of fun. Suffice it to say I'll be using more of your tracks in the future :)
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

Nice. It's also interesting when you play the same rhythm but on different times, say one in 4/4, and a same pattern but stretched (or compressed) to a triplet, gives a really full surround, though I'm talking in terms of guitar or synths, not sure how it would play out in percussion.
I thought so little of this song at first I filed it away in a folder on my hard disk called "nogood". About a year later I listened to it again and changed my mind.
Comments on Tipu's stuff
Nice soundscape!
This reminds me of something SO MUCH but I can't put my finger on it! Beautiful track, nonetheless!
Wonderment. You captured the moment.
Sounds like rebirth
I like when the drums come in around 1:50
Im drifting away
That was really good. :O

this is so cool!
nice modulation at the very end... ahh, it's leading into the next track.. *nice*

Nice drones and counterpoint!
love it
This is beautiful
Nice work...reminds me a little of the band Earth.
Haunting
Floating away, very nice.
Nice! I'm sitting here watching it rain with this going. Also being a piper a drone never hurts my feelings

BB will be missed by all, till end of all. At least, I really hope so.
hahaha
I really like how the beats hit deep and the synth growls. And the singing is excellent!
instant love. those clean shimmery guitars and the percussion in the back! the influence shines through!
Moody indeed. Serious flares vibes from this. And you got the new live 9 beta :o
nice, sounds like a sci fi movie intro too. I would remix it...some time
Great stuff. Sounds very natural, amazing its just you making the whole thing, given the progressions in all the instruments.
I did download it earlier, loved it, different than expected too, in a great sense.
Magnificent. Love the eerie-ness as well.
Very humble. I like how your vocals are slightly chorused.
Like the progressions, very Zeuhl.
Man, wish I could sing that breezily
ah, the Ambrosian chant. I see why you named it for him now, I think.
@Norm: Thanks! Yeah I can see what you mean, I love trying to implement other ideas in my music, trying to adapt to new styles etc. Lots of fun. Suffice it to say I'll be using more of your tracks in the future :)
great track, love the wah-type delays that come in later

and sprite!
love the organs
Your songs have a very alternative feel to them, which is great.
Brilliant.
