Overture The Nutcracker Suite 2023 Remix Lorin Tone 2023-12-12 | This year's re-hash of my attempt to record the Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite from an orchestral score. This is just the Overture, which I managed to pull off for the most part...considering the tools at hand at that time. I've always been partial to this composition.
Jingle Bells 2023 Remix Lorin Tone 2023-12-08 | Another joyful Christmas piece from years ago when I was fiddling with a horrid mixture of soundfonts and samples. Early days. I apologize in advance for any psychological damage it could cause...
Smelly Night 2023 Remix Lorin Tone 2023-12-05 | Again, cleaning the stalls from some of my "musical" works from decades ago for the Holidays season. "Smelly Night" emerged when I was dabbling with soundfonts and early rack-mount samplers for music production, so I did tend to go a bit overboard at times.
Carol Of The Bells 2023 Remix Lorin Tone 2023-12-04 | In 2022, I did this arrangement of Mykola Leontovych's "Carol Of The Bells".I enjoyed the entire process of re-arranging an orchestral score of the piece.

Lorin Swelk Orchestra Stravinsky Rite of Spring Excerpt from Mvmt I Lorin Tone 2023-11-07 | Once upon a houseboat in Sausalito, I worked on this piece using a conductor's score. It was a long-term project using my MIDI-based music production setup that had been installed in the houseboat. Once upon a return-from-work week, I discovered that the houseboat had sunk into the bay along with everything that I owned. Including this piece and many others that had fortunately been largely digitized and stored online. So some recordings survived although none of my personal belongings did, and that was difficult. That said, this was the most technically challenging project that I've ever engaged in alone.

Hail tRump Lorin Tone 2022-12-10 | I do not agree with the views expressed in this piece.In fact, I think that they are all quite insane, including their chosen leader.I would urge followers of this guy to get off the bandwagon because he isin the process of attempting to incite another armed insurrection.Should this occur, I doubt that Federal officials will be quite as polite as the last time.

Stinky Cheese Man Theme 3 Space Cadet Lorin Tone 2022-09-20 | From a 1997 proposal for a computer game based on "The Stinky Cheese Man" story. The proposal was not taken up. This was created for the obligatory "Space" sequence.
Stinky Cheese Man Theme 2 Lorin Tone 2022-09-20 | From a proposal to create a computer game based on the story, The Stinky Cheese Man. The proposal was not accepted. This was a secondary theme that I did for it.
Stinky Cheese Man Theme 1 Lorin Tone 2022-09-20 | In 1997....NOT '87! Darn typo, Wes Jenkins, his wife Kyle and I sent in a bid to do a kids' computer game based on the book "The Stinky Cheese Man". This included music that I created on "spec" (as usual). It never got picked up, as the publisher was being bought out. So here's what the LEGO Island 1 team was working on at about the time that we all got canned by Mindscape. I'm posting some of the music I did for that, just for fun. Music is copyright The Lorin Swelk Orchestra. This was the proposed primary musical theme.
The Lorin Swelk Orchestra Boy Lorin Tone 2022-09-08 | Recording of a rehearsal of an arrangement of Bernstein's "Cool". We were kind of making it up as we played it. Of course, this recording is fraught with rehearsal errors, but it's the only recording we've got. And it sure was fun.

The Agentz Live at Nellies Suzy Is A Headbanger vf bak Lorin Tone 2022-08-24 | Another cassette tape rescue for tonight, will be digging through the archives for more. How did I manage to play wrong notes on a Ramones song?! ARGH. The shame. But it was fun.
The Agentz Live at Nellies Suzy Is A Headbanger vf bak Lorin Tone 2022-08-24 | It's a dumb song by the Ramones. That's mainly why we performed it. What bothers me is that I actually hit two wrong notes while playing a Ramones song. Oh, the shame. But we sure had fun. Matt Hogan, Jeff Bethell, Vinny Villany, @LorinTone (Nelson). Confirmed: 1981. No rights to the song expressed or implied, it was the Ramones. God help me.
The Agentz Live at Nellies Like A Rolling Stone Lorin Tone 2022-08-23 | Rescued and tweaked a bit from an ancient cassette recording, live at Nellie's, which became the home base for the Agentz. The first 20 seconds are mangled, the rest is bad, but audible. 1981 or 1982. For our departed leader, Matt Hogan. We have no copyright on this song, we just covered it. Written by Bob Dylan.
Fantasea Infomaniac Intro Wes Jenkins Lorin Nelson Lorin Tone 2022-08-17 | With background music by Lorin Nelson, Wes Jenkins lays out the plot for the ill-fated LEGO Fantasea project. This project had been planned to follow LEGO Island 1, but did not come to pass.

Cantica Universi MVMT IV Lorin Tone 2022-05-12 | The fourth in this mini-series of NASA/Chandra's sonifications of galaxies, black holes, etc. No copyright expressed or implied.
Cantica Universi MVMT III Lorin Tone 2022-05-10 | The third movement of most symphonic pieces is the Scherzo, or dance. With its music, the universe invites us to the dance. But first, in this movement, I need to pose a few important questions. The answer to my questions await me while I figure out just what my questions are. If it turns out that the questions are already answered, I'll tip my waitress.
Cantica Universi MVMT II Lorin Tone 2022-05-09 | The second in this set of 4 pieces that is based on the music that our universe sings for us. These are only my arrangements of the sonifications which have been beautifully provided to us by NASA and Chandra. Unfortunately, there some small amounts of what sounds like digital distortion on parts of these that seemed to come from the original sonifications. It's difficult to tame a black hole in more than one way, it seems.
SL2022FF 01b Lorin Tone 2022-05-09 | The first of 5 scenes that will comprise a video showing portions of the Second Life Fantasy Faire, a benefit for American Cancer Society. This is posted only as a test. Video concept composed by Judi, who is also the actress.
Cantica Universi MVMT I - The Lorin Swelk Orchestra Lorin Tone 2022-05-09 | This is the first in a set of 4 "musical" movements of sonification done by NASA and Chandra. The name Chandra may ring a bell for some people. Put simply, this is assigning tones within the human range of hearing to galaxies, star clusters, black holes, etc. It's fascinating. This series of 4 pieces are comprised of my interpretations these sonifications in a vaguely Symphonic construct.
Hunros Mine - Loki Eliot Lorin Tone 2022-05-07 | Second Life 2022 Fantasy Faire: Loki Eliot's Munros Mine build. Just a little amateur machinima shoot of the build, because it's beautifully immersive.

Mythspire Ridge Elicio Ember Lorin Tone 2022-04-22 | 2022 Second Life Fantasy Faire: A quick fly-through of Elicio Ember's Mythspire Ridge. I'm sorry that my computer ain't a supercomputer, but you'll be able to get an idea of the beauty of this art.
Shergood Aviation Steamly S2 S Lorin Tone 2022-03-24 | In Second Life, my customer Kelly Shergood of Shergood Aviation has created a fun steam-driven helicopter, the Steamly S2-S. As with all of her work, it's fully functional, very detailed and is piloted just like a real helicopter.
The Agentz Get Out of My Life Lorin Tone 2022-03-03 | The Agentz, featuring bassist Jeff Bethell on lead vocals. A rather amusing look back at our youth.

The Agentz MaryLee Lorin Tone 2022-02-23 | The Agentz, 1981: To the memory of - Matthew Champion Hogan (June 22,1953 - January 13, 2008) was a Chico musician, songwriter, club owner, concert promoter, newspaper columnist, and icon. He was often referred to as "Chico's oldest teenager," as he remained an active and vital part of Chico's music and social scene even as he entered middle age. Matt had a complex, larger-than-life personality that drew equally from his natural gregariousness and his unique sarcasm.
The Agentz Youth Cult Lorin Tone 2022-02-22 | The Agentz, 1981 Chico, CA. I believe this recording was done at the Chico Church of Rock and Roll.
The Agentz Fall In Love and Die Lorin Tone 2022-02-20 | The Agentz: We posed, we preened, we cavorted and overall just had a lot of fun. Yes, we could all play well enough, but the problem at that time was generally playing TOO well. So we kept perceptions of competency to a minimum where possible. The video clips are from a recording of a different song, so of course it doesn't match. But that's also art, of course. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Matt Hogan and drummer, Vinnie Villany.
The Agentz Secret Agent Man Lorin Tone 2022-02-17 | The Agentz, 1981 Chico State University Video Dept. footage. An unused early take. Again, thanks to Jeff Bethell for re-animating the Agentz archives from days long past. Complete with Control comm's and Lorin completely blowing a few solo segments.
The Agentz TV Suicide Lorin Tone 2022-01-23 | Another recording to demonstrate how serious The Agentz were as a band. We cared enough to do a TV theme songs compilation, and were careful to make it as silly as possible. Cuss words alert: There are a few in this one.
The Agentz Talkin Bout War Lorin Tone 2022-01-21 | This recording of The Agentz was likely done at Syncopated Sound, in the Chico, CA area. This one kept my fingers busy throughout the song.
