The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…

I was going to do the RPM thing...then I had to move. I think I remember coming across your profile there...so many ppl, can't be sure. RPM is a good platform for later use..going back and adding to the ones you like. I like to work on a song for years..then add to it as my skills progress. Makes it more interesting..sometimes almost as its more than one person composing it.
wish the pads on my sax were in good shape...be nice to add to this with it. It's crying for a sax. good vocals..lead and backing. Did you do the drums or samples? I have to use samples all the time...I try to phatten them up with the drums on my keys.
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 instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
I think Tenochtitlan in Mexico City..Templo Mayor.. but I cannot remember if they are sculptures or real skulls.. I'm sure they were real skulls at one time :-)
oh.. Capuchin Crypt is in Italy... no have not been but I'm dying to go there someday. Oh crazy skulls! I've seen a similar stacking of skulls in Mesoamerican ruins
Capuchin Crypt? Haven't heard of it.. is this 'capuchin' as in the genus of monkey? I have some crazy capuchin vocal recordings, three species.. they would sound haunting with a bit of reverb.. hmmm
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
Three hours.
No plan.
Halloween.
Thirteen tracks.
Dark but not dark.
Toys used:
Synths: FM8, Massive, Absynth
Guitar: GT-10, Timeless 2, Volcano 2, Eos, BigSeq2
This is a remix of my earlier track [Metaphysical Beat 2](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/metaphysical-beat-2). In fact it's the 4th remix but the first one I'm really happy with. I even found myself trying to dance along to this when I…
Mat and Jodi have been separated by a vast divide in time and space. AND YET! they can still create the distucto! as if by magic.
this track was part made in Brooklyn this morning and afternoon and simultaneously in Berlin this afternoon and…
Another in my series of experiments with the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function.
I used two instances of Metaphysical Function to generate a soundscape that was bounced to audio, chopped up, and re-arranged.
The whole thing was rather…
Yeah boy! This one has the potential to be a real groovin' tune.. even flirts with club (don't throw your shoe at me if it offends you).. I too can here a 4-floor beat jump in around 02:20 or so.. drop off at 03:45 and picks back up right before 04:00..looking forward to wherever you take this-- I'm really liking your rhythmic/atmospheric direction..
Hey! Thanks for the comment! To answer your question, I'm using Ableton Live to roll my own rhythms.. I have a slew of approaches, ... I might draw notes in a piano roll, trigger sounds with a midi controller, or beat box, clap, bang on some dish-ware... whatever gets the job done!
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
Another experiment with the Reaktor ensemble 'Metaphysical Function' only a bit longer this time.
Again Reaktor is the only instrument at work here although it's going through a mastering chain including Space Designer with a very short impulse…
Comments on glu's stuff
agree with the lovely beth there. really is gorgeous
Not junk, always ready for your percussion - love the glu touch!
That's a great title for a song! I think I'm jealous of that one! Nice mix and lovely haunting sounds. Really great slow groove.
My new favorite!!!
fuck yea!
Nice one man!
This sounds great...bass line is cool...I can hear arpegios..real ones..not from an arpegiator.

good bye alonetone! I'll be gone for a few days.. until getting new interwebz connection! Ciao for now...
Inspiring. If you don't finish it, I might :-)
A gem made more precious by the loss.
I'm hearing lyrics along with it's captive melodic voice
this is truly beautiful
Wicked tune dem. Nice and full sound.
Nice Noodling!
Digging this man, chilled and heavy at the same time!!!! New tracks up as well!
I hope you develop this more at some point- really nice!
Just Lovely!
I wish my unfinished crap sounded this good. Love those little touches of classical guitar toward the end

yeah, this is awesome... I too could listen to this all day

wow, really like this tune! lovely vox and melody
VERY VERY cool. 11 minutes of awesomeness deserve more than this trite comment. For now, I'll just say: captivating mood. kudos
yes hardrick, it's my spooky contribution. :-)
arse kickin' mix. love the new sounds
zombie tombstones! they make great samples! I should get out the field recorder and take a walk this evening!
the new additions are great! definitely groovin' there!
haha love cross continental collaborations :-)
YEAH! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Hi, 'Guest' -- I'd love a piano but for now I'll have to do with Sudara's 15min recording session.
sounds like something oozing out of the strata to take over the city
