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 song from a year or so again - from my CD "jiguma dreaming". It features Alf Solti on keys, Thor Oliversen on lead guitar, Anne Cozean and Jan Porter on backing vox, and me on Fender precision bass, Telecaster, Seagull acoustic, vocals…
Awesome! What a cool collaboration. I really like the dynamics throughout the song. I really dug what my parents listened to, and it has helped shaped my music (although you wouldn't be able to tell from some of my influences).
Post some more tunes!
The harder remix of a song I did together with my sister.
It's called the dirty mix because I have started working on it again after the crash, which means I'm layering on top of some mp3 bounces I had lying around :-)
I'm still aiming for a good…

C'est la vie indeed alloy! I feel you! Nice work! This just reminded me to activate time machine! I had a similar crash in 07... now I try to back up religiously. I Feel you.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…
Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).
Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.
Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
This track is very cool. I can hear a glu beat in there ;) I checked out the vid you posted http://vimeo.com/1684094 very cool looking program! Looks like endless fun!!!
this file doesn't play well anymore! I hear a static-like noise and the pitch wobbles. It's the strangest effect. I have no clue why this is happening! It does this on both FF and Safari
This song was recorded for the independent film documentary, "It/ll be better tomorrow, the life of Hubert Selby Jr.". Sadly, it did not make the final cut, but it will always be a favortite of mine.
We were supposed to comprise a beat across at least 3 tracks from individual sounds. We were also to explore sampling. The first beat and the fast drumming beat (towards the end) I made entirely, but I sampled the second section drums and the…

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!

Just keeps getting better and better.
WOW Great track- wish I had pots and pans that sounded like that!!

cool, I'm glad alloy <3 this song, it's been awhile since I have heard it. This song sounds like a strike! (is that the right bowling terminology?)
love it! I agree with Sister Savage, a bit melancholy.... perfect!
04:10 is dope ;)

Odd. in the best of ways!
woah! This is different! I like it a lot. Especially at the first minute.
hellzyeah! This is nice! I like the beat mixed with the guitar melody. Nice combo! Is that a clarinet I hear?

very smooth!
i love this!
Hell yeah! Very cool track!

Mic Doja keeps it real and from the heart. I really like the piano melody in this one!
damn sweet music, man!
nice song, and very good quality live recording!
woah this is really nice!
beautiful and peaceful! Nice 'rough' mix!
