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.

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
I'm late to the "how did I miss this?" party but oh well! This is soft and fluffy, but somewhat melancholy, because a dream is just a fantasy and clouds are unreachable. captures the feeling perfectly. kudos.
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

you should write one and record it.
beautiful. love the chord progression.
smokin'
i'd be fine with 'the artist formerly known as glu' as long as I could wear some of those ruffly silk shirts.
it was not until the savage ladies commented that it all made sense. x
nice production and rapping.this track is hot.
with every listen i get closer to something special
double favorite!
man i really dig this one. The sounds and mood you achieved here are just stellar.
one of my top alonetone favorites. the only thing I understand is the title -translates to "senseless woman" no? anyhow here know French?

what a great tune.
this is delightful music for this late night. gorgeous palette of sounds and melodies.
Jefwashere and I just listened to this one. "a masterpiece" he says... a masterpiece indeed.
thanks Kirk! I love this one. My buddy Emmanuel rocks the tabla.
no commercial loop! I may have looped some of the ambient sounds, but no 'loops' were used..
