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…
Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!

I added melodies to the initial track and then Sister Savage
rerecorded the vocals to match the new melody.
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.

This one is pure pop. Voice pitched 1/2 step up.

seems you have an affinity for wildlife. I have done a few songs with that in mind. One I mixed; whale songs, monks, the sounds from a sonogram of the womb, sounds that planets make, birds. The weird thing is..when you play some of them faster or slower..they sound like the others.
Shaken, not stirred please.

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…

lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…
Remastered the levels slightly on 3/4/09.
An attempt at a progressive metal-inspired piece with time signature changes.
Moral of the story: Kind of a demented play on Charlotte's Web - if you give somebody wings and they hate your guts…
My big hit, I guess. Everyone seems to love this track. I do too. It's inspired by The Mars Volta's track "L'Via L'Viaquez," but I took things in more of a Pink Floyd direction with the extended synth solo that is evocative of the instrumental…
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
Very, very raw demo for our 09 RPM disc. Drums are a click track & unmixed; needs one more guitar track, eq, channel compression, an honest-to-god mix, etc...

yes. I knew there was a good morning to wake up early this morning! OMG and coffee! I really like the melody when you sing the chorus "gotta hot date." The beat is kickin' as always.
Rather incomplete... let me know if you want me to fix this guy up a bit more. I get lazy when I think that most people won't care about the mix being perfectly tight. I think you can tell enough just from the title.
Work in progress!
Inspired by all the awesome people I know in my cryptology class. I was writing an email and just... had to compose something. There's going to be gitz in this somewhere... but for now, only basic synths and an unfiltered…
glad this is 'currently kicking ass'... it kicks ass! "money, power, obsession, envy..." powerful stuff here, I love how this song is so strong, yet mellow. You guys have a new fan!
This is actually the first song we produced, and the one that started the whole project. It's based around a sequence from the good old Korg Wavestation.
Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline).
If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song.
Now that I have two microphones…
I composed this track as a demo of my sampling project "The First Bulgarian Virtual Choir" some time ago...
I invited the famous folk singer Katia Georgieva to perform the live lead vocal.
