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.

Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!

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…

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…
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…

One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…
We're deep in the glitch mines again.
This time with a beat developed in Stylus RMX, a "melody" using Soniccouture Skiddaw stones and Tonehammer Frendo, and a bass from Soniccouture Abstrakt Bass.
The beat was fed through The Finger with…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
It starts out with trashcan drumming.. makes me want to move! Then it evolves with all the rhythmic synth layers... I likey.. If you are passively looking for input, I'd recommend thinking about how to utilize more negative space to emphasize that trash can rhythm at parts...I think you do this in a different way.. in sections rather than throughout the track.. and well, my recommendation comes with a big fat disclaimer... I tend to want to hear the wall of sound layers deferring to tribal beats :-) , Maybe gate or cut out parts of those polyrhythms on certain beats. I like the grinding end too.

Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting.
Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…
yeah love the percussion and general sentiment about mad men. Thanks for the warm Ohioan welcome... I'm excited to finally live in a state where the leaves change colors every year! What's this thing called seasons?
@ noëlle-- thanks! Glad you are enjoying the tunage! If you are interested in more music made with animal samples, check out the bioelectrophilia playlist, made mostly from samples I recorded in the Peruvian Amazon last year. http://alonetone.com/glu/playlists/bioelectrophilia
Thanks for listening!
This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back.
* Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums
* Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth
* Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
hahaha. no can do, Bethan.. it was designed to make it drop! :-) maybe I should write a disclaimer? I heard it also causes listeners to spill their drinks ;-)
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
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. ;~))
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"

I knew my former self would come back to haunt me. That was intended for George's eyes only haha
reminds me of Common. Nice!
damn, I regret moving from Austin before checking out one of your shows. Playing anytime in December?
wankin' rhythms ye have there matey. There should be more that one Wednesday a week for wanking.
I still get perfectly lost in this one.
LOVE this DJ set. LOVE it.
frustrator! That's a good idea! I should try that out :-)
bravo bravo! awesome version! Uber-impressed.
DAMN. This one is bitchin/glitchin' -- Nailed it.
lovin' that glitch!

Damn.. it makes me want to throw this book across the room and hook up the studio proper.
super lush. It just keeps getting better.

love the layers in this one... like a soundtrack to some of my more recent dreams.
lovely!!!!

wow... captured my mood, exactly.
