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…

A meditation of sorts.
Arose from experimentation with a technique described here

This is a single take with a bunch of reverb added after the fact in Reaper (also an experiment…
I accidentally started two tracks on alonetone in different tabs. Your track and Movement to Contact's "Coffee with a Little Sugar". Do it :D http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/coffee-with-a-little-sugar-by-norm
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
I would opt for MetaZen (http://metazen1.bandcamp.com/track/moonsucker), a really soft trip-hop style rapper but I don't think I could reel him in here haha. Oh well, its a really nice, tight track regardless!
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
I was depressed at my caliber of friends when I had a drug problem. This was the result.
LYRICS:
Most my friends are embryonic
Most my friends are hooked on phonics
Most my friends stick to the comics page
Most my friends are disillusioned…

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

great opening! Surprised to see another idm/post-rockish composer at alonetone
I accidentally started two tracks on alonetone in different tabs. Your track and Movement to Contact's "Coffee with a Little Sugar". Do it :D http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/coffee-with-a-little-sugar-by-norm
leading back to home? Excellent.
I can't reveal that! (Thanks for the listens, brw, all)
This is awesome! Katatonia+Anathema vibe here
Nice, reminds me of some of The Final Fantasy music. Dont get me wrong, those songs are commendable!
nice, liking how the different instruments bring contrasts in the mood of the track :D
amazing
this is really good, chill.

Wow, this reminds me of some epic sci-fi soundtracks, ala Hans Zimmer and occasionally Philip Glass
the 'about me' picture pretty much summed it up heh. favourited.
great album!
Loving the back ambience in the later half of the song. Very seductive.
70's prog rock organ-ish synths, nice.
...and the beatboxing.
Loving the mellow scratches!
Reminds me of Sixtyniner (Boards of Canada). And yes, this should definitely have a loop button
I love this track so much. Such a nice track, one of my favs of all time!
Nice, reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins and Skinny Puppy. The feeling comes right through!
