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 track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
oh wow, the ebow sounds great, especially around 02:30! *jealous. hmmm.. my analog ebow cannot achieve such silky smoothness without getting doused in verb

Tune inspired by a character in a webcomic. Starts out slowly, doesn't have any incredible builds. But towards the end, I made a very odd 5/4 motif with automat synth that I'm half-proud of. But not really. Thanks for everyone's kind comments…

Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.
This one started with a beat (using Stylus RMX to…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

This piece is a typical example of my love for spoken voice.
I used to go thrift store hopping and try and collect all tapes and records I could get my hands on that had spoken voice. I used to drive around listening to these, and to christian…

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

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!

WOW Great track- wish I had pots and pans that sounded like that!!
