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.

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…

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.

@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)

The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…

Barney! "Ears held hostage" wow! Thanks, my friend. Really digging your more recent stuff.. Cannot wait to hear the finished EP! Good luck, and hope you are enjoying the new gear!
We found a nice bathroom, and, moved by whimsy, decided to write this little shuffle for y'all. Took us about 15 minutes to write and record. It'd lose its spontaneity, otherwise, no?
Style:
Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young-esque Bathroom Folk
Instrumentation…
this is beautiful. What a lovely theme! I know what you mean about composing. When I sit down at a piano something magical comes over me... have to get one.
You know when you're creating something and it comes out exactly how you wanted it, and then it becomes you favorite? This one is still my favorite and has not been dethroned yet.
The song is all by me - words, vocals, bass, the "guitar…
yeah it is confusimicating! I have no clear answer for you! Most folks here respond by commenting back on their own tune just as you did, but it's not protocol by any means. cheers, and thanks for listening!
Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper.
Instrumentation:
1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide.
[If you give a page a dobro ...]
I got word this morning that my dog died sometime overnight, following his emergency surgery.
It's never easy to lose a pet, but I find it's especially difficult when they're young and you were expecting to spend many more good years with them…
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

"meeting of the Beatles and Trent Reznor" ---and "this is the trailmix i want to bring with me through the circles of hell" OMG!! These are such flattering comments! Thank you! :-) and thank you for coming along for the ride through bittersweet purgatory; do not forget to buy a postcard!
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
A track created for a character called Rainy, on the North walk (entitled "Life Is Monumental") of "Charm City Remix", a site-specific narrative by Kianga Ford.
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great!
I've been slacking, so here's something new finally.
I left flubbed notes in this one. I hate MIDI editing in Ableton Live.
I often think of ending this affair and going back to my sweetheart, Logic.
agree with kirk.. love how it 'falls into place' --and I'm a sucker for piano. I agree that Live's midi editor leaves much to be desired; I thought v8 would have at least made the grid easier on the eyes. btw, thanks for listening to the 24h .. you should do it sometime; loads of fun and insanity.

@ kirk, look forward to finding out which ones are your faves! Thanks again for listening... I'll try to get these individual tracks up soon, once I attempt recovery ;-)
NOT FINISHED. shining up old songs. this one is headed in this direction. if i put it up on here, i have to finish it.
love,

Comments on glu's stuff
nice radiohead-like chord-procession, and i like the electronic creatures beeping away; it sweeps nicely, and i can understand the title very well.
Oh yeah this is great man you do some cool sounds
Great tune, great sound. Good luck (again) on the move.
I was living on the bass strings
The first 30sec sold me %100.
Awesome toucans! Love that lead melody
Very cool sounds
Sounds like a road trip tune. Good luck with the move- it's always a pain in the rear. Nice tune man!
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Interesting gating, it is gating?
Great atmosphere!
Wow dig it mate tops
Nice one cool sounds
Lovely - that's a great sample to play with. grabbing a download thank you.

Dunno why but this one is special.
I think it needs some elephant :-) Awesome nonetheless.
Oh this is good, very good. Really hoppingly glitchy. Love it.
Lovely and weird, and that's before the Toucans come in!
