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…

Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
I'm late to the "how did I miss this?" party but oh well! This is soft and fluffy, but somewhat melancholy, because a dream is just a fantasy and clouds are unreachable. captures the feeling perfectly. kudos.
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.
intensley interesting
lots cool stuff u got going on here.....and yea..the cherokee indian stomp dance is awesome.
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!
Comments made by glu
you should write one and record it.
beautiful. love the chord progression.
smokin'
i'd be fine with 'the artist formerly known as glu' as long as I could wear some of those ruffly silk shirts.
it was not until the savage ladies commented that it all made sense. x
nice production and rapping.this track is hot.
with every listen i get closer to something special
double favorite!
man i really dig this one. The sounds and mood you achieved here are just stellar.
one of my top alonetone favorites. the only thing I understand is the title -translates to "senseless woman" no? anyhow here know French?

what a great tune.
this is delightful music for this late night. gorgeous palette of sounds and melodies.
Jefwashere and I just listened to this one. "a masterpiece" he says... a masterpiece indeed.
thanks Kirk! I love this one. My buddy Emmanuel rocks the tabla.
no commercial loop! I may have looped some of the ambient sounds, but no 'loops' were used..
