more stuff for the glubotic March addendum. The bamboo flute in this track belonged to an old Subud brother ... I don't really know how to play any wind instruments... but this flute practically plays itself.
Hey, notice the new forum section... Track Therapy? discuss with me: http://alonetone.com/forums/track-therapy/topics/help-me-find-direction-for-this-track
Mr Glu
I like your little ditty. I think it has a lot of promise.
The one thing that I believe it needs is a "B" part. You are basically playing the same chord progression over and over again. Not too bad since it's only 2:29 long but a B part would help. I don't know what key its in but lets just say its G. Your B part should be in some other rel chord starting in C or D and progress for 8 or so bars somewhere in the middle of the tune. Just to mix it up.
I hope this is what your looking for.
Another remixed tune to add to the Goran Bregovic collection.
Let me know what you think! I usually hate house/trance/
4-floor beats but this was fun to remix and program.

somewhere around 3 minutes you should here the sound of people chopping down a tree in the Peruvian Amazon turn into the beat of the song. This song was somewhat influenced by Kim Hiorthøy.
I've been waiting all day to get home, just to be able to listen to this album without interruption - and it has been worth the wait. Absolutely Brilliant. I just can't get enough of this. k
Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey

first thing this…
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…
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…
Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper.

i love this site
really liked the kyboards
Just want to plug your favorites page. Such a great selection. I'm glad this one is there too.
Nice flute, nice guitar, NICE SONGE!
excellent mixture of instruments and sounds. Genial la atmósfera.
I miss the sound of Oropendolas in the morning. Fab work!
Love the atmosphere/flow (I don't know what to call it) on this beat.
Okay - to quote oh my goodness from a few days ago: ok. so it's time we collaborated. ;) What a great tune. And great disc. Period.
This one just gets me drifting. Great use of space.
Man, the riffs going on in the background are just KILLER. Another ace.

Excellent...turning it up now
This makes me groove and marvel at the waves of light that catch the smoke...I picked a bad week to stop sniffing Glu!
