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
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Memories of walking a coonhound in the small hours around the empty structures of Baltimore's Artscape festival before dawn- silent ferris wheel standing behind the rows of booths, vacant carnival installations on the Charles St Bridge. In this…
Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…
A beat I created for "Die Faxmachine", a collaboration with composers Du Yun and Ken Ueno, who faxed in (to a live performance) a composition for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, and electronics, interpreted on the spot by Mobtown Modern on 9…
I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
@ Mannequin Races. Yeah, that's me on the electric guitar... not much of a lead guitar player but I enjoy dabbling.
@ Sister best lyrics? Must be the hangover talking :-) thanks for the compliments! It's not nearly as pretty as your oceanic stuff, but I guess I was going for more dangerous waters, yeay!
@ Gumbo, I'll start brainstorming lyrics for a new pirate tune! Looking forward to yours.
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
and of course, awesome arrangement and performance(s). ;-)
I thought about stealing our mum's piano... thoughts? I'm starting to feel like I need one too... well, I've been feeling that way for some time, and I'm afraid that any instrument in that house sits neglected until we come home for the holidays!

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…

HOT DAMN! kirk. I'm hypnotized, amazed, and affected with awe over your mastery of guitar and melody. There is real magic in that shop, both with your instrument crafting and instrument playing. consider this one double faved.
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
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!!

@ nebulonicalchemy: I'd love to hear your mix of whales, monks, sonograms, planet sounds, and birds... I mean, PLEASE!!!
woah, this does strange things to my neurons! awesome!
Jennifer, you are back!! So, more than 200 waterfalls? I've driven around NC on a waterfall hunt.. what a gorgeous place... saw dozens of falls.
