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?

Is it cool to favourite collabs you're involved in?
Anyway, glu did all the heavy lifting here. It's like Santa Claus visited last night and left the best presents at my house!

and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
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.
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Vocals and percussion are courtesy of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks. While recording a simple guitar track in Kev's garage, things got intersting when we opened the garage door, and let the sounds of this huge flock of birds in the…
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.
yes! lined up like useful idiots. This track is spot on! goes from Whisky era Jim Morrison vocals to a Beck-esque groove, with a lyrical spirit of Dead Prez. MAD PROPS.
I was just playing along with a looper pedal, trying to work out some ideas for a "real" song. I was just recording straight to a single stereo track and not worrying much about my playing or the mix. But when I listened back afterwards, I thought…
this is perfect for combing through my thesis in the final days before the deadline. I can just get lost in text while the ethereal textures lead me to my next words. I love your use of trance-inducing guitar loops. turned a good friend onto this site and he is a big fan of your stuff. it's nice to have experimental musicians like you on alonetone. Thanks for uploading more stuff today!
btw- love the birds that subtly emerge through the ambience... and that synth pad that moves a half step up and back down....
you have achieved an amazing mood in this tune. props.
Comments on glu's stuff
Wow- is this the reason for the latest avatar?
Very cool dig the voices
woah, hey jef..you there too, eh?
strangely mirrors my current emotional landscape.
This reminds me of The Gathering at their most mellow, albeit a little more electronicky.
This is haunting. I think you blend the music, voice, and percussion together perfectly.
Dreamy :)
Should have know who this was before I walked in here from the shop. This is most excellent!

maybe I'm a goob but yeah, I fav my collabs! :-) See what happens when you leave cookies out for Santaglu?
I like this. Short and sweet.

Great collaboration! Very spacious
Turning Coffee into a song, great! I love coffee and this song. I'm glad it's not just a recording of you making the stuff. :)
Bethan's right. Great track.

great capture of the storm and appropriate muse for the occasion.
lush and beautiful! 30 min to upload? Fantastic!
this is sweet! i'd like to see it as a soundtrack to a video. by the way, i love your photography/photoshop/whatever!
Glad you found this one!

damn, I cannot help myself from commenting again on this one... it captures a fleeting moment. Thanks for letting me re-experience it over and over.
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
this sounds incredibly familiar.. but I cannot seem to put my finger on it... Very nice melodies.

oh my god this is beautiful. love the harmonic accents. your guitar sounds so rich. it wants to come out and play more often...

This whole bloody EP should be plastered all over the the home page! Man, I wholly share your sentiments! Hey Hey!
yes! lined up like useful idiots. This track is spot on! goes from Whisky era Jim Morrison vocals to a Beck-esque groove, with a lyrical spirit of Dead Prez. MAD PROPS.
Hell yeah! Lovin it!
