You know how good mixing means EQ, compressing etc? Yeah, disregarded everything here.
intro bluesy guitar sample from here: http://archive.org/details/MiZ2012-01-26.wklitz.schoeps.sbd.flac16 "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"
Yeah, I used to do that for the heavier tracks sometimes. Nowadays I just record a few guitar riffs in a hurry, go to uni and then make a song out of them later on when I need a break... so its hit or miss with the end product. In this case the drive was a bit too high xD
Nice track. Your signature scale :)
On the mixing: A friend of mine and I were talking about recording distortion and dealing with noise and he told me that he likes to layer his sounds. Rather than have a single track with distortion set to 8, he'll layer 4 tracks at 2 (conceptually). I have to play with this idea myself to fully understand it but figured I'd throw it out there...
Just listened to a couple of your playlists and enjoyed everything.. great stuff! unfortunately, i now feel too chilled out to go back an fav them all... too much work :)
Last track of the new album :D
For those wondering, no I'm not referring to anyone, it's just how the 'post rock' names are, ala Red Sparowes, ASMZ, etc. Long and Pretentious track titles.
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

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

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 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…
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
it certainly was.......
Sunshine.
Love this!!
Pretty cool track man.
Enchanting piece! Very nice!
Makes me dizzy...
FAV- really really enjoyed this one.
Sweet sounds!
Eq? Compression? What is that? :) The best tracks are always done on the fly.
Nicely assembled, pastoral shifting moods.

This is just too pretty.
Quartal harmony + post-rock flavor + decepticons in the background = <3

Literally couldn't stop myself dancing to this!

Actually quite good Tipu. Much to be said for subtlety and minimalism.
Like a cave tour..yes i can see the light..
Stimulating..
Trippy stuff. They should launch one more space shuttle so they can set it to this.

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.
