This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
when i feel like i have something worth saying i suppose. or when someone else does ;)
I've been working on some lyrics, but nothing 'serious' has been written. just ideas at this point.
close your eyes and imagine a glu concert-- what does it look like? describe this fake show to me... what would you want to see?
Oh, almost forgot. Many sounds, like these pretty cellos were found on freesound. I did manipulate the pitch on…
very nice. the orchestra at the beginning was really cool. hooray for downloading and manipulating sound effects from the interwebs (that's how I got the rain in "Rainy Day). anyway, I like it, the whole thing flows very well.
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.
Glu...get ready because you have just won yourself a lifelong fan, you sticky beautiful thing, you. This is OMG's big sissy (Al) and I think I love you. MWAH. If you remix "Bubble Bath" with "Girl from Ipanema" I may have your children.
I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
"i'm just a gangsta in the jungle" recorded in the amazon. It's actually a part of a monologue that I will likely never post…

i love how naturally the beat comes in, and you have so many production touches and little details that really lend to the 'computer' feel. this is pretty inspiring. the audience response sounds incredibly natural, as well. i have an instant resentment to computer generated vocals, though. :)
your use of high frequencies is really reminiscent of iannis xenakis, especially 'diamorphoses.' the song l0v3drug brings to mind some alva noto & ryuichi sakamoto works. i think it's the treble.
you are great at separating instruments and ensuring no frequencies sound muddled.

a circle stage suspended on glowing sparks. the crowd slowly floats around, watching the performance arts. the holographic orchestra sputters into view. the sole performer enters, it is glu. the music turns to rainbow mist, and becomes the audience. it is a beautiful show, visual music. 0x0
This is a new song that started as a guitar pick, then got some words. I finally recorded this. It has 3 parts. Nylon guitar, Electric and voice. This is part of the "human racing" series I am working on.
Matter is surprising
Not what…
I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
nice track.. love the lyrics! Because you are looking for comments to improve your mix... you could also try the alonetone forum section "track therapy" -- it's a little sleepy but maybe more folks will start posting if more start using it.

I recommend doing something with the percussion to compliment that nice bass; drums sit too low in the mix- bring them out... and they could use some variation to keep the track moving/building. Nice song idea, I look forward to hearing the final mix. cheers!
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
This is my first recording and not great quality. I have ordered a better quality microphone, just waiting for it to arrive. Quality aside, I was hoping for some constructive critcism/comments on my version of this song.
yeah, it was a quixotic ambition I had about a year ago, before I fully admitted to myself that everything has been done before. Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it!
yo Nitro!!! Yer fix is coming. about 5 hot cakes... one just uploaded.. but the best is soon to come.. early next week. I kidnapped a Peruvian until Sunday; you should come meet him! After I hand him over to the proper authorities I will finish these tunes. You will love them....

Comments on glu's stuff
Lovely - that mix of wind instruments works beautifully
Well...you had me at 15 seconds! BRILLIANT! Wait until Kirk hears this! w;-)

Wasn't expecting this at all- that's a really different thing for you. Nice guitar sounds. Can't wait to hear it with vocals
very nice. the orchestra at the beginning was really cool. hooray for downloading and manipulating sound effects from the interwebs (that's how I got the rain in "Rainy Day). anyway, I like it, the whole thing flows very well.
Have I told you lately that I love this?
I liked the original, but this is just too cool!!

Makes me want to go play TombRaider! :~)
really like the orchestra tuning up before hand like the intro to fantasia (ya know walt)like space age meets an ancient tribe cool
i would want to see a rotating stage.
glu DOES IT AGAIN! BRILLIANT!
i want to eat a bowl of this.
and listening to this i knew you were a live user!

awww snap! making it hard for me to chisel down this suggested live playlist!
chills. so good! nomad on friday!
Just keeps getting better and better.
WOW Great track- wish I had pots and pans that sounded like that!!

¡magnífico! what a powerful piece
thanks moschell! you hit the nail on the head!
kirk-- keep excavating that hard drive.. this one is lovely!
just perfect. lovely voice. welcome!!!
i mean light.. as in happy and slightly melancholy. I'm serious about those evolving layers of sound... awesome.
it dances between light and slightly melancholy thanks to the interesting progression. Moving textures ftw!
yeah, it was a quixotic ambition I had about a year ago, before I fully admitted to myself that everything has been done before. Nevertheless, thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it!
really enjoyed the lyrics! nice one Moschell!
This is awesome!
Love it! Nice no budget choir!
