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…

I'm disturbed by the love affair people have with institutionalized violence. We inadvertently endorse and legitimize war by saying nothing. Maybe it is because we would rather subdue ourselves with meaningless television shows and those neurotics social networking 'about me' quizzes than challenge the norms by which geopolitical power is executed worldwide, both economically and militaristically. What world did Enlightenment principles bestow us with?
MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
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…

Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
thanks for the comments Glibert! This one was thirty minutes from figuring out the guitar lick to bouncing the tracks. I'm most happy with this brainstorm out of all of these because it just came out when I began recording... more naturally than the others.
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?

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!

maybe I'm a goob but yeah, I fav my collabs! :-) See what happens when you leave cookies out for Santaglu?
Former South American dictator turned clown? ha! Think I remember reading up on that..sandbagdido?
this is so amazing... just a brilliant montage.

droppin' bomb after bomb in this playlist.
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...
beautiful vocals.. and @ 02:20 nice percussion! great cover.

hahhaha yeah!!! filthtone ftw!!!
this sounds utterly hopeless in the best of ways.
I think your 'desert gypsy' and my 'it's storming inside' need to meet up for a draw!
hands down... this is my favorite kjwise tune. bittersweet melody + female vox ftw!
really enjoy d&b-esque tunes with piano
just in case you both are clueless.. this is my favorite ACL tune to date. :-)
I'm still waiting for 7/8 done version :-)
oh yeah, why did I not fav' this one sooner?
woah I remember an earlier version of this one! This is gorgeous. The instrumentation is perfect.
if this were a crayon color it would be pensive purple.
poignant. Perfect title.
