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!
Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good

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…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
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…
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…
Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper.

Comments on glu's stuff
hey this cleaned up well. The opening vox reminds very 80s :-) Triggered a funny association.
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!

I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.
