Beep Beep.. the sound of the life support machine. there is still life in the patient. I've not blogged anything here for a while, but release a few tracks on soundcloud more recently.

Monome and OSC

t00nz — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:38:43 +0000

I love the idea of grid based controllers like the Monome… much more than I actually use them in music oddly. So on and off I’ve had a play around with PadKontrols, Launchpads, Lemur on Ipad, TouchOSC etc. and in particular the monome emulations. However, when you start out it is a bit of a … Continue reading →

t00nz – Spire

t00nz — Sat, 28 May 2011 00:40:16 +0000

A new track, with and old feel. I love melodies in old games, and particularly simple synth sounds – especially like the lead in this, keep coming back to it. (p.s. will re-attach some of the older broken links to a new host soon) Download: Spire Buy: Spire

t00nz – Knowing you’re here

t00nz — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:21:00 +0000

Had a break from writing for a little while, so left this to get dusty. One new track: [audio http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26663680/t00nz-KnowingYoureHere.mp3] Download: Knowing you’re here

t00nz – Fakery

t00nz — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 23:36:25 +0000

First of I think 3 tracks I have to release. Another project has pulled me away from writing for the moment so these may be the last for a little while. Hope you enjoy: Download: Fakery

t00nz – The Dreamer

t00nz — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 23:57:06 +0000

First track of the 2011 album! Slowly getting back into some kind of workflow after the break, so nice to get something completed. This was actually one of those tracks that just wrote itself in a short time (happens now and again). Generally this year I have a couple of things I want to concentrate … Continue reading →

t00nz – Links

t00nz — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:55:11 +0000

I’ve just updated a bunch of the broken links to point to the new homes of files hosted on google sites. My plan is to up the remaining 2009-2010 stuff to archive.org soon, and just host the last years output on google sites, with new stuff on bandcamp!, soundcloud, internetdj etc. Hoping to get another … Continue reading →

t00nz – PSaw

t00nz — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 00:39:54 +0000

Another freebie! Another short track that tries to bite you on the brain. Please enjoy: Download: PSaw

t00nz – Threaded (update)

t00nz — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 01:49:20 +0000

Please excuse repost. This one has a player and direct link! Download: threaded

t00nz – Threaded

t00nz — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 01:08:05 +0000

Another bit of free music just for you. This is just a little tune that fell out of something a bit longer I was writing. Get it here Hope you enjoy.

Hosting

t00nz — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 00:57:41 +0000

My paid web hosting ends today. It was not really offering enough to be worth the money. I can still distribute music through free alternatives, so will be testing a few of these over the next few weeks and will hopefully update some of the posts on here to point to files in a new … Continue reading →

t00nz – Hard stares

t00nz — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 19:42:54 +0000

Release time comes around quick again due to a few more tracks completing together.. (This is actually the first of three things ready to be released, so expect more soon). I’m trying to cut my costs by dropping the web hosting, so this will be my first attempt at using Bandcamp, and also in due … Continue reading →

t00nz – Melon

t00nz — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 01:20:54 +0000

Here is a new track. I nearly held this one back.. it was a little bit ‘damned with faint praise’ elsewhere, but I think it is ok and that only makes me want to try harder anyway. I mentioned before I’ve been distracted from music a bit, maybe it shows in this. I do need … Continue reading →

t00nz – drift

t00nz — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 01:40:13 +0000

I have a few new tracks close to complete, but got quite a bit distracted with motorbikes just lately 😉 Finally found time to put this mix together though, so here is one new track called ‘drift’. p.s. I will probably have to cancel my hosting due to the cost quite soon, so grab what … Continue reading →

t00nz – Scanner

t00nz — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:11:54 +0000

After the last couple of tracks this is positively in your face.. “More noise, this time percussive” – hows that for quality liner notes! Hope you enjoy. Download: Scanner Buy: Scanner

t00nz – Not Here

t00nz — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 20:29:40 +0000

Something of a strange journey through noise, this one is probably not going to be to many peoples taste I think. I’m not going to add it to the album, I’m thinking of it as more of a b-side for people (like me) who like odd sounds 😉 Download: Not Here

t00nz – Distances

t00nz — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:19:26 +0000

This is quite a laid back ambient style. It is quite nostalgic I think, and conjures up a very particular feeling for me. It is strange, a lot of people said the last release was quite dark. I had never thought of it that way, so, whatever it means to you, I hope you enjoy … Continue reading →

t00nz – Little Windows

t00nz — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:22:00 +0000

A tune for a Friday night. A little bit ambient, a little bit of a groove. Hope you enjoy & cheers for listening! Download: Little Windows Buy: Little Windows

t00nz – happy me happy you

t00nz — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:09:42 +0000

This is a bit of a dark and grungy track.. One of a couple of tracks ready to post now after a particularly productive couple of days (first drought then downpour huh!)… Recently bought Synplant which is turning out to be a really useful synth for what I do. It features in this track and … Continue reading →

t00nz – Retrospective

t00nz — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 21:50:35 +0000

I like the contrast of melody and harmony with digital distortion and harsh edges to sounds. This is another track a little like ‘A dented toy’ in that sense. t00nz – Retrospective

More music soon

t00nz — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 00:31:28 +0000

Had a break from writing for a few weeks, but working on some new tracks right now. . will post something soon. Also set up a facebook page (see on panel).. please help support it!

t00nz – fumate

t00nz — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:34:53 +0000

Short but sweet.. like these brief words. fUmAtE

t00nz – The Cursed Loop

t00nz — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:53:33 +0000

This is something I did months back and decided not to release because I was trying to concentrate on creating something more musical. But listening with a bit of perspective it has grown on me, so I changed my mind. It is called ‘the cursed loop’ because I think this is the third completely different, … Continue reading →

t00nz – Rabbit Island

t00nz — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:58:55 +0000

This is for the KVR monthly competition. It is written as a round.. (which is where one voice starts,then another follows with the same tune, and then another.. you have probably heard it with row row row your boat).. Anyway it is an interesting way to write so will not be the last I think. … Continue reading →

t00nz – transmissions

t00nz — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:08:50 +0000

This has been a WIP in progress for some months, and changed sounds quite a lot (original idea was to use mainly FM sounds, but it didnt work out this time). Distorted percussion is FM8, accompanied by the great uTonic. Albino and some other synths play the parts. t00nz – transmissions

t00nz – Last chances

t00nz — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:30:17 +0000

Bit of a genre change up from my recent posts.. I think this falls under the umbrella of ‘jolly ditty’. Reminds me of old video game tunes a bit. It was originally a test tune to help me to get used to Live 8 when I bought it a little while back.. and ended up … Continue reading →

t00nz – Icy Angles

t00nz — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:05:19 +0000

I got GPO4 and Kontakt a little while back with the intention of trying non electronic sounds, and some different styles of writing. This is something that came out of that. It’s (hopefully) a pretty tune, just a start really. t00nz – Icy Angles

t00nz – AmbientW1

t00nz — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:18:14 +0000

This piece took me a bit by surprise. Halfway working on something else, a bit of improvisation with a pad sound I was using turned into this. Was listening to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports a week or so ago, and I think it had an impact. If you like that, then this may be … Continue reading →

t00nz – A dented toy

t00nz — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

I mentioned some while back my intention is to increase the musicality of my stuff this year (after a year trying to get the basics of sound engineering down). This feels like a bit of progress in that direction. It is based on some unusual synth choices.. a freeware FM chip emulator (VOPM) and Oki … Continue reading →

t00nz – Act Them I

t00nz — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:39:47 +0000

Another simple harmonised melody using a single Zebra patch (with some automation and mixing). Since things are heading in that direction recently bought the Garriton orchestra GPO4 to play with. Expect some output from that soonish. Act Them I

t00nz – Clef Ope I It

t00nz — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 02:16:14 +0000

Wot no beats? Something a bit more reflective and musical. Written quite quickly – but sometimes it just happens that way. Clef Ope I It

t00nz – Pa Belie Sec En.mp3

t00nz — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:37:41 +0000

Something new, a bit ominous and still quite abstract. Created with all the usual tools, I think it’s a quite interesting track.. at least the arrangement worked out ok I think. t00nz – Pa Belie Sec En

t00nz – Nae Bid Volt

t00nz — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:40:47 +0000

Something new.. I like this track, but didn’t get many comments where it was posted.. so maybe a personal thing. t00nz – Nae Bid Volt

t00nz – unecessary space

t00nz — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:24:39 +0000

This is a quite simple and calm tune. t00nz – unecessary space

t00nz – Phreak

t00nz — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:21:41 +0000

Ok, so it’s been a lil while! Here is the first of two tunes I’ll post. It’s a rough and ready blast of a noise track, done mostly with Reaktor. t00nz – Phreak

YouTube

t00nz — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:20:43 +0000

Been meaning to do this for a little while, but thought it would be too much of a distraction from writing music. It’s not though, it can be very quick to create, so maybe useful? YouTube

t00nz – distractions

t00nz — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:20:38 +0000

More chilled melodies over strange glitchy backgrounds. I can’t say too much about the track, because this is starting to become a style for me.. and I guess you either get it or you don’t by now. I’m still concentrating on finding a more musical style relating to melody/harmonies and expect to put this into … Continue reading →

t00nz – tease me

t00nz — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:42:42 +0000

This is a track that started out as a chip tune (been meaning to write another one for a little while now) but it went in a different direction. Not quite sure what genre it falls into now.. wish I didn’t have to decide that when uploading it to music sites. I’m quite pleased with … Continue reading →

t00nz – elektrode

t00nz — Sun, 24 May 2009 22:31:11 +0000

Another mellow electronica track. More analog feel this time, with some glitch/circuit bent sounds in the percussion. t00nz – elektrode

t00nz – capacitor funk

t00nz — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:05:50 +0000

Tal – Elek7ro is the only sound source here, including percussion. Originally intended for the one synth challenge on KVR, but couldn’t resist a vocal hook (which is against the rules). Hoping to post some vocal tracks sometime soonish, as I bought a mic recently. (You could find a track now if you know where … Continue reading →

Tweakheadz

t00nz — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 01:41:04 +0000

I mentioned I was trying to write up some stuff on mixing. Unfortunately, it got a little bit out of hand and I’m not sure when I’ll find the time to organise things properly. I did find some very good places out there already though, for instance: Tweakheadz

Myspace

MySpace finally got me a page hooked up 😮 www.myspace.com/t00nz

t00nz – resistor

t00nz — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:38:57 +0000

Similar in feel to some tracks I did last year. Actually closer to what I wanted back then. Thinking about going back to remix a couple, feeling like I can do a better job of it. t00nz – resistor

t00nz – so shallow

t00nz — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:16:43 +0000

Bit of a throwaway tune… again with the acid synths in full effect.. t00nz – so shallow

t00nz – acid trip down memory lane

t00nz — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 00:33:34 +0000

I always liked that acid sound.. and recently got a synth that can manage it. It’s probably going to be featured in a few tracks now till I can get the hang of it! 😉 Something retro for you: t00nz – acid trip down memory lane

t00nz – cube thought

t00nz — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:53:34 +0000

Bit of a struggle making this, not sure why.. think it worked out ok in the end. Also, started writing some words on mixing that might be useful if you’re starting out. I’ll post more on that later … taking longer than I thought! 😉 t00nz – Cube Thought

t00nz – Struct01

t00nz — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 04:09:51 +0000

Had a bit of a strange time after Christmas and did a half dozen tracks and loops I didnt like very much and never saw the light of day .. had to change things up and try something different.. It’s not a finished track, not mixed .. it’s a synth improv/sketch .. but you know … Continue reading →

t00nz – old timings

t00nz — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 22:46:14 +0000

1 year on for this site! I’ve spent the most part of the last year trying to improve production, and got from here: – Ragged Edge (yes, I did think this sounded ok at the time) to here: – t00nz – Old Timings Quite pleased with that 🙂 … from here on in, concentrating on … Continue reading →

t00nz – dog star

t00nz — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:36:39 +0000

Another day another tune… (sometimes by the time I’ve written this stuff I have no energy left to describe it in words.. just have a listen.. what’s the worst that could happen 😉 Dog Star

t00nz – iblit sings

t00nz — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:23:11 +0000

Someone started a challenge on KVR to write a track with one synth, well one synth and one drum machine.. originally Iblit and Ersdrums… and nothing else! The rules since changed to other things, but I was curious.. .. so here is my effort with 1 synth (Iblit), 1 Drum machine (ErsDrums) and no eq/fx etc of … Continue reading →
