Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…

Congratulations! Awesome achievement and I like this one. It puts me in mind of Colin Garveys WooHoo song. He did that at the end of the 24hr album last year. It was also "of it's moment" and expresses some of the same feelings. Maybe you will enjoy it too!
Some friends throw other friends going away parties.
Songwriting friends say "hey, what a great idea for a song."
Tech notes:
I've been losing my voice today and ended up having to go back and do retakes to try to get as close to on-pitch as…

You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that.
Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…

woah! loving this one! I do not feel one bit like a bored guest looking at your old vacation pictures. I'll dig around for something to rework if you 'update' this one, as you said you'd like to do! :D
Alright, so it turns out that I lied.
THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project.

Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…

Pro Tip:
No amount of multi take recording features will fix it when you're flat/sharp on *all* of the takes.
Based on a true story.

There's something wrong in the world today
I just can't believe it
I just can't believe it
It's the…
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
This is one track where I can say, without reservation, that I am really happy with how it came out.
I worked up a beat I liked with 3 Stylus RMX parts making good use of chaos and time designer for the breaks.
For the first time I really…
and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
Glu guides you through an instructional song, revealing secrets along the way.
Instrumentation: Director's comments included! beat boxing, real swords, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, vocals, drum programming, tabla, and tambourine. My apologies…
I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
I listened to the full 24. :)
I dig what you've done here and would definitely call this music and not noise. I would like to see you create some separate sections. Like, a breakdown for instance, where you go for something totally different rhythmically before returning to the original idea.
Keep on experimenting! :)
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…
I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!
The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…

You turn to me and tell me I'm drunk And I tell you to suck a skunk (Has GOT to be the best opening lines ever in the world)
Le beauté! sounds great!
agree with the sista! go all the way! 365!! :-)
Noooo! Make it 365!!!!!!!!!!

Hey- Nice! I guess you picked up an acoustic- sounds great
Come round, read to me.
Has a certain rawness and grittiness that reminds me of Bukowski's poetry.
Wow love the dizzy music!!
Love it - vocals please!
You were doing nice stuff even back then! Cool
woah! loving this one! I do not feel one bit like a bored guest looking at your old vacation pictures. I'll dig around for something to rework if you 'update' this one, as you said you'd like to do! :D
Something ended sad. It was a good thing, mostly, but right now it's just sad. Well done
Closing scene to a film- she's looking out a rain streaked window and thinking?
Has a melancholy quality to it that I like. What sort of piano is that?
Emotive melody...very lovely.
Another lovely melody!
Very nice.
Really really nice. Great melody, love the vocal quality.
b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. !

Who knew that destroying a piano could be so beautiful. Hang on - How'd you manage to pull that one off? :)
Nice! How come your demos don't really sound like demos? :)
Congrats! Nice tune. And perfection is overrated, because if it were perfect, there'd be nowhere else to go but down, right? :)
And now it's time for your Local on the 8's. Yeah, baby!
Wow. I am always amazed at how you can blend all of these unrelated elements into a very musical sounding track. How do you do it?? :)
Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)
Where on earth do you come up with this stuff? I'm in awe.
Freaking hilarious!
Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!
Really enjoyed all of your 24 hour creations. Congrats for finishing the challenge!
Holy wow! I can't even fathom being this creative for an afternoon, let alone 24 straight hours!

This is fantastic as always. Keep 'em coming!
Hooray we have a theme! I continue to be amazed at your production skills.
I've always wondered what your Uilleann pipes music sounded like, since I saw it mentioned in your profile. Keep it coming. I want some more. :)
Love the atmosphere! I would never have guessed what instruments you used to create this if you hadn't listed them.
love the breakdown around 1:45. Nicely done!
A nice relaxing end to a hectic day!
wonderful use of textures and very cinematic as others have said :)
Love the blending going on in this one. And what a title! :)
