I've been really into soundtracks for the past few days, especially those for action games and the notion of having a static, subtle track run over unpredictable game actions and still making the whole thing work.
So this was made with that…
Have just been listening to this on *small voice* another site... :) Love the percussion and the tension in the rising arrangement. The windchimes(?) at the end are a magical, rejuvenating touch. Very expressive and original. Great track.
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 :)

Whoa! That's awesome Tipu!
A big part of the fun for me at AT is tying my patterns to helium balloons and releasing them onto the interweb - there is no telling where they will ever end up or what (if anything) ever becomes of them.
But sometimes somebody nabs one and sends it back so different, so evolved and so reconsidered that I hardly can recognize it. Heard from a completely different clave (or phase shift) with fresh new perspectives (not to mention wonderful mixing, mashing and effects) for vintage patterns. Heard for the first time again...
Yeah, I wax poetic. But man, I just love that.

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.
Song of The Raven Queen

As The Fool set sail in an old milk pail
To fetch the Moon's reflection
The Mountains stood as of course they should…
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.
Where the Path Leaves the Road

This was the first track I wrote during the RPM sessions for 2012. It's one of those RPM "demos" that I took down about three months ago with the intention of re-recording it. I haven't done anything in all that time, and I figured this can…

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…

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.

I like the atmospheric nature of this one -- it creates a nice soundscape to zone out to.
Lovely sound here guys.
Hypnotic!
Works really well! Rather like a Sunday morning,comes to mind with the bells in the air.
Pretty nice and well mixed.
Tong Drum Dream scape alla Norm.Nice
nice work!

cool stuff :)
Really nice
Nice remix and additions Tipu!
I like the minor and simple theme of this one.
excellent track, continually builds upward into a chaotic pulse but you manage to keep it uncluttered.
Nice build, worth the wait.
Sounds looping good to me!
Nice one, like what you've done with this.
Cool mix.
Well you geek on then it sounds great!

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.

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.
