Away

Welcome to my 300th Alonetone upload! I sit with a pile of books to read in a house full of boxes and my studio is not even completely set up; however, I had no choice but to write and record this tune today once the... (more)

Distressed Spider Monkey

Your Undertow

I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu... (more)

We Are Fossils

Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move... (more)

Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.

DJ Toucan

Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and... (more)

Canoeing in Métzabok

The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language... (more)

A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.

The Lachrymose Song (30 min)

unable to concentrate on work so I had a short music session/creative brainstorm/ emotional fleshing.

The King Is Dead (15 minutes)

I wrote this short woodwind motif at the time MJ died yesterday. The King played a major influence on some of my more dance-oriented music, so this is my ode to the king.

glu.botnet

welcome back to the singularity!

You make me short circuit

the lead synth line is 1/8 beat longer than other measures. It repeats 3 times at 8/8 and then the last one 9/8, which causes the lead to sound slightly more varied throughout the track. it starts a little later each time..

s3xy w0man

the wifebot inspires
synths, tabla, beatboxing, claps, and love.

shake your ass

more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.

Back To The Cold (Sudara/Glu remix)

Based on the original Sudara/Glu collaboration

Another remixed tune to add to the Goran Bregovic collection.
Let me know what you think! I usually hate house/trance/
4-floor beats but this was fun to remix and program.

Question Everything

more stuff for the glubotic March addendum. The bamboo flute in this track belonged to an old Subud brother ... I don't really know how to play any wind instruments... but this flute practically plays itself.

Worked on this track at the end of January.. Then the RPM came and it did not fit with the other tunes... so I decided to get off my behind and upload it for you all to enjoy. Takes place at the zoo,

Hey, notice the new forum section... Track Therapy? discuss with me: http://alonetone.com/forums/trac...

I'm working on a March RPM... it is "record per month" after all, is it not? So, this month I plan to expand on some ideas with glubotic... I hope to make the album a full hour.
