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…
thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'm including this one in my next rhythmically delicious playlist of alonetone artists. I always enjoy your music of dancing samples of instrument performances
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
fixed the bass (or corrected SOME of the problems with it) and re-uploaded... it was getting a little too wobbly at times... Thanks for all the comments! You lot keep me inspired to post stuff. <3
This is part of a new body of work, centered more on guitar than synth, yet treating the guitar as I do the synth. This is still a work in progress, and I am open to input.
This is definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more…
wow really digging your stuff. You and I seem to be attracted to some of the same instrumentation! Hope to see more stuff of yours on here in the future!
when i feel like i have something worth saying i suppose. or when someone else does ;)
I've been working on some lyrics, but nothing 'serious' has been written. just ideas at this point.
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

and please come back to Alonetone to upload more stuff! Really enjoying this one
kicked the computer chair a few meters away.. shaking my loot, my pirate treasure... to this one!
oooh like the beat here! nice! the tonework is really cool too. like the electric piano that comes in at around 1 minute
kind of reminds me a little of something off Tool's Opiate. Nice.
love the beat on this one
sounds like you are having fun with the R3! Nice patchwork.
oh, and did I forgot to say how lovely this song is? Really nice work.
I knew this was recorded in the shop because I can feel the spirit of craft in the melody, if that makes any sense. You must make real magic there.
reminds me slightly of The Doors... "this is the end... my only friend, the end" :) nice guitar work! really digging the rhythms too!
woah-- sounds like Depeche Mode!

digging the library! nice cross cut of styles!
this is my go-to song for never-ending inspiration.
lovely. I share the sentiment.

nice! I take stabs at club music, but I get impatient after about 3 minutes or so. This grooves nicely for the entire 9! cheers

one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs... what a great cover! Nice work!
tortured by advanced math... poor fella..love all the tempo and time sig changes
