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…
This is a song about cynicism and propaganda.
Bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 has been justified by NATO and the mass media as a "humanitarian effort" to stop repression of the Albanians in Kosovo.
Written for/about Ben Montgomery. Answering machine messages wondering where he might be are from yours truly and Jason Biehler, his two closest friends who were always trying to track him down.
I agree with Einstein that we cannot 'will' anything, the concept is religious at best(gulp). But you can change your paradigm,
I am certain Einstein's paradigm changed with his theory of relativity, no? The song was intended for avid fans of political change re-examine their own role in the democratic process, you cannot vote for change in this system, just as you cannot 'will' change...
but you can change the way you see the world.
Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels.
Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick-
it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the
animal drum kit.
okay, I'm sold-- I am going to buy some chips!
I love the singing from the gut! "Uuughhii love chips!" Bubble bath is damn fine too! Going to take a bath with some chips...
This is a super strange track, love the rhythms,
strange son samples, and the pace of the changes. haha this track cracks me up too! The samples are so playful! awesome.
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.

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

nice tune. good use of repetition and layering; it works very nicely.
nice song, calming, yet reminds me of how illegitimate violence can be considered legitimate when deployed by NATO et al.
"i'm not really paranoid..." hahaha! great tune!

yeah this is my favorite track of yours... I love it.

100% elephant sounds...
