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!
Original track by Sister Savage:

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…

This is a song from a year or so again - from my CD "jiguma dreaming". It features Alf Solti on keys, Thor Oliversen on lead guitar, Anne Cozean and Jan Porter on backing vox, and me on Fender precision bass, Telecaster, Seagull acoustic, vocals…
Awesome! What a cool collaboration. I really like the dynamics throughout the song. I really dug what my parents listened to, and it has helped shaped my music (although you wouldn't be able to tell from some of my influences).
Post some more tunes!
The harder remix of a song I did together with my sister.
It's called the dirty mix because I have started working on it again after the crash, which means I'm layering on top of some mp3 bounces I had lying around :-)
I'm still aiming for a good…

C'est la vie indeed alloy! I feel you! Nice work! This just reminded me to activate time machine! I had a similar crash in 07... now I try to back up religiously. I Feel you.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
This track is very cool. I can hear a glu beat in there ;) I checked out the vid you posted http://vimeo.com/1684094 very cool looking program! Looks like endless fun!!!
this file doesn't play well anymore! I hear a static-like noise and the pitch wobbles. It's the strangest effect. I have no clue why this is happening! It does this on both FF and Safari
This song was recorded for the independent film documentary, "It/ll be better tomorrow, the life of Hubert Selby Jr.". Sadly, it did not make the final cut, but it will always be a favortite of mine.
We were supposed to comprise a beat across at least 3 tracks from individual sounds. We were also to explore sampling. The first beat and the fast drumming beat (towards the end) I made entirely, but I sampled the second section drums and the…

@ nebulonicalchemy: I'd love to hear your mix of whales, monks, sonograms, planet sounds, and birds... I mean, PLEASE!!!

cool, I'm glad alloy <3 this song, it's been awhile since I have heard it. This song sounds like a strike! (is that the right bowling terminology?)
love it! I agree with Sister Savage, a bit melancholy.... perfect!
04:10 is dope ;)

Mic Doja keeps it real and from the heart. I really like the piano melody in this one!
damn sweet music, man!
