where'd my comment go??? i compared you to a meeting of the Beatles and Trent Reznor. but with a genius of all your own.

something is so Beatles about this. i imagine Paul collaborating with Trent Reznor. i hope you don't mind being compared to other artists. other geniuses.
the thing i really really really really love about the chord progression is the last chord of each phrase in the chorus. how it goes THERE, instead of There.
this is the trailmix i want to bring with me through the circles of hell.

Also, Thanks for the comment about my song and bringing up the drums. I'll try Track Therapy, too.

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.

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.

dooope.
Plenty of very good melodic and harmonic ideas. It must have been the perfect flow.

I'll be looking forward to new versions of the individual tracks. I definitely had my favorites from within the 24 minutes
Thank you to all who took the time to listen and comment. I'll soon post newer versions of each track (separately). I hope it was an enjoyable twenty-four minutes. cheers.
I am speechless, just so cool!!! GREAT music, words, feel, and mix!!!!
Damn. You guys keep raising the bar for these 24 hour challenges. =)
Hi there... The comment you left made me curious ! And you've got really good stuff here ! Kinda NIN influence that I love !
Holy wow! I can't even fathom being this creative for an afternoon, let alone 24 straight hours!
So dream like... I am in a trance. Love it.
Very cool. Love the atmosphere and all the different layers of sounds. Also, Thanks for the comment about my song and bringing up the drums. I'll try Track Therapy, too.
Impressive. Most impressive.
At 20 minutes now and this is brilliant!
OOOH- 5 minutes in now and enjoying it. That mood shift right before the 5 minute mark is really cool!
fantastic, well worth all the sleep dep!
What can I say? This is beautiful and I think I shall listen to the whole thing all over again :)
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..
