Field recording from SE Peru. Came across this pissed off spider monkey and decided to record a few minutes of this vocal bout. I'm not sure what elicited such a vocal temperament, and of course, at the time, I was worried it was a large cat…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
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.
@ noëlle-- thanks! Glad you are enjoying the tunage! If you are interested in more music made with animal samples, check out the bioelectrophilia playlist, made mostly from samples I recorded in the Peruvian Amazon last year. http://alonetone.com/glu/playlists/bioelectrophilia
Thanks for listening!

hahaha. no can do, Bethan.. it was designed to make it drop! :-) maybe I should write a disclaimer? I heard it also causes listeners to spill their drinks ;-)

I was at the Cincinnati Zoo a couple weekends ago and heard some irritated monkeys of my own. There were two bonnaroo monkeys that were just making noises back and forth. I wish I would have brought my field recorder!
Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…
ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..
08 – Feeling Confuzzzed. Written 19th/20th Feb. Recorded 20th Feb.
Come on Wembley, let’s see those hands in the air. As poppy as they come, including plenty of la la las to sing along with. I was very pleased with my Harrison-style slide…
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
aspiring abductee pleas with alien to beam him into her ship.
Just a slight rework from early this year. New mix and vocals sometime in the near future. I'm lazy.
Summer Sadness indeed! But bittersweet sadness is best when captured in a smooth tune like this! I loved instrument-switching when I was in a band. cheers.
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…
thanks! these are just short brainstorms... you are right, the last one sounds like an ending to a track... Maybe that's what it will eventually become, who knows!
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).
Old Conor Higgins…
Comments on glu's stuff
Beautiful and brave. Your new ventures with vocals remind me a bit of RJD2's recent move in "The Third Hand"- except I think you have a better voice.
Oh yes nice one as usual well done.
awesome song glu. GREAT vocals..you should sing more often. Your profile says you are into anthropology..did you hear about that bones they found that predate lucy by 1 million years?
sounds like my wind chimes in the garden, great build as it progresses. love the breathy vocal.
Fave'd - mighty mighty nice... love this.
Missed this one- great stuff on a rainy morning!
The first clip in that KT mix is actually from a songs called "spider monkey". Thanks for all the kind words by the way!
frustrator! That's a good idea! I should try that out :-)
great beats and hats. i opened it in another window and i play them both at the same time, a quarter note apart.
OSSUM.
Brilliant.
I don't go to clubs much but this wit fit the bill perfectly. If I were a DJ I'd play it!

Relaxing groove- nice! You have anything special planned for upload number 300?
I just wanted to let you know that this song got me hooked on your musique. I love it all! Excellent excellent tunes! :D peace! -noëlle-
I dig this! You didn't disappoint either! I was waiting for a change up and got it at 0:50. Very nice!
This is pretty slick for left over junk! I wish my junk sounded like this!

awesome. the only word that fits.
