I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow

Yeah I noticed yourself and Tess had done 1 hour tunes but I missed where it all started.
This one is very cool. It's like spaghetti western with a cappacino and candles. ;~))
written, recorded, and poorly mixed in one hour.
Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, fretless bass,
2 tablas, tambourine, rattle, and human body
for snapping, clapping, and vocals.

I love the fact that you are honest about the fact that you're not sure if you like the track. I sometimes feel like that about tracks of mine.
I really like this and actually don't know why you don't like it. It's really got me bouncing along to it...very good.

and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!
Original track by Sister Savage:

I added melodies to the initial track and then Sister Savage
rerecorded the vocals to match the new melody.

There's nothing like hot coffee, and this is nothing like any hot coffee I've ever had (maybe because I don't usually get it in my ears.) The first few seconds made me smile, and as the inventively rich aural brew took over my senses, the smile overflowed my mug. This was a very fun interlude, beautifully beat-chopped and tastefully presented... and as with all coffee, it was over too soon (I'd suggest a teeny bit of a different ending, not so abrupt, perhaps?) Loved this.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
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.
this vocal arrangement only made the cutting room floor. full instrumentalized version forthcoming. i just wanted this arrangement its own chance at life!
My evening challenge: compose and record a piece in an evening. Song titles will reflect the time of day when the day's light slips into the darkness of night.
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…

After yesterdays experiment with noise gates and vocal transformers I thought I'd have another go using Rytme as the source material.
A single Rytme track with multiple playheads is playing into a Logic channel containing Kore playing the Absynth…
damn! wow, I either missed this or I am hearing it with new ears. Really class. Going to give this playlist a better listen tomorrow. 'Listened to 1432 times' BAM!
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.

this song sounds like the soundtrack to either a) the calm before the storm or b) the eye of the hurricane. Either way, it is calm and tranquil but it's only fleeting. There's something really heavy about to hit. In an album, I would put this right before a hard hitting track.
not sure if it will go on the next glubotic revision or if it belongs elsewhere. This question gives rise to my multiple-music personality disorder/syndrome. glu.botnet, happy machines, and a few more might get thrown into the next album revision when I get around to it.
and the BTTC remix? Any progress?
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
Warning: silliness ahead!
alloy (along with this months issue of MusicTech) got me into the creative possibility of gate and pitch shifting effects so I spent a happy morning playing with Logic's noise gate, vocal shifter, and ring shifter…

Okay so I enjoyed doing Glubotism1 enough that I thought I'd take a second crack at it. Same tools but took a different approach to how I used Stylus RMX and I introduced some of it's built-in effects on some of the parts. Also I bused RMX and…
So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…
thanks for listening to the glubotic RPM! This morning, I just gave it my first listen since March and I started getting excited about working on an updated version. it's interesting to see who favors which tracks.
Comments on glu's stuff
nice one!
simply beautiful
A very good shimmery theme! (Great build, too...)
Man, I'm gonna have to use that violin bow technique. Very wonderful texture! (And not too damned shabby for an hour of work!) k

I've been really into an 80's, new order style sound lately. This track really does it for me.
yikes! cutthroat! How did you pass me up within a few minutes.. I just checked!
glu takes down w in 4, but i see w reaching out to tag cheney...i'm looking forward to glu vs. cheney...
Lovely stuff. Had me in the first 30 seconds with this one

I love the instrumentation and building vocals, even though its the same line over and over!
I like the vulnerable harmony.
this is like the cool fade out end attached to another great glu tune
Cool groove on this one- great stuff!!
i never know what to expect to hear from a glu song, but its always good stuff and pleasantly surprising in many ways...
Apparently, I need to buy better coffee. Mine is not this inspiring.
So gooooood.
Love the keys! Reminds me of good things I can't quite remember... well done guys, great tune. Sounds like "if Orbital could do sexy"

faved 3secs in.
Comments made by glu
beautiful. more piano tunes please!!!
it's good enough for me too!
nice!
This is really nice!
perfect. love the e-bow action. I want one too! goes perfectly with the gates stuff.
yeah, busy mix ftw! It was so much fun watching this come together. Sister Savage's new vocal take was really inspiring.
el mejor aqui!!! Me encanta la moda.
you are a super class sound designer with these experiments. I'd love to incorporate your work in some future mixes.
Oh yeah! Hot!!!!

oh this is nice! I really like it as it builds from around 01:15....01:45..and then the melody at 02:00 is great
like the melody here, Uncle. The vocal treatment is nice too... the stereo voice effect is great! and the dancing guitar layers... nice stuff
oh yeah! like the beat... Bom chk! Bom chk! --bp bp --bp bp
Nice! Jeffy G is here! woohoo! sounds like one of the piano motifs from "Lost"
I knew none of this prior to titling the song!

think I might do another mix of this... keeping the integrity of this track this time.
