First day back from the jungle in Central America, remixed this tune. Had to start off the new year in the U.S.A reminding myself that captivity will keep me returning to the jungle forever.

"Move your body to the drumbeat of war..."
I will update with lyrics later, this song is a work in progress but I wanted to get it online before I start hating it. Did you really think I would end the year without a political song? Jingo Bells…

Very nice, love the way in which the intro is integrated into the song. Just like Matthew Herbert's most recent release, I really enjoy when political songs can also be extremely catchy. Good job!

it is good to taste happiness. it is good to want happiness and not always have it. it causes us to work, to create, to achieve. here you have worked, practiced, and achieved 2:34 minutes of happiness. it is good. 0x0
I originally built this up to some cliche rocking acme but there is no need, so I peeled it back kept it raw. Thanks Su for the critiques on the levels.
Since I am not participating in the 24hr album today, here I am in spirit! This track was…
I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
maybe a good place to start is 'brainstorms' playlist to check out stuff I've played. It certainly can be difficult navigating through the pages. cheers, and thanks for the question!
I'm not sure what you've heard or not, but I always specify in the track descriptio when someone else is playing something, and I usually list the instrumentation when it's more than synth+drum programming. If all you've heard are songs with samples from other folks then you haven't heard much... the majority of tunes with real instruments are performed by me. You may here me playing any of the following: two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (usually played with a bow) violin, fretless bass, 7 different bamboo flutes, 4 clay flutes, didgeridoo, kalimba, I was borrowing two tablas and a tambourine from a friend but I had to return them. Also play the kitchen sink, keys, pots and pans, hooves and other household items.
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be good at any of these instruments! :-)
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
thanks everyone for all the thoughtful comments, and thanks Su for privileging me with that wonderful piano performance. @ Drakonis: love the pun haha. The 'ebow' part is an actual bow over electric guitar strings, but I wish I had an ebow- they can sound amazing. @ K. Scot Sparks: man you have some amazing sounds and moods, would love to bring some elements together. Hook a brotha up with some stems!
Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

story: wings of chaos, wings of beauty. h.g. wells awakens from cyber-sleep in the "Chrysalis". the steam-driven moth-ship is now traveling slowly across an immense nebula. the engine's motoric rhythm generates the soundtrack to the view from…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
Comments on glu's stuff
very nice to zone to.
Wow- Nice one!! Love the groove
As usual - this is just Glu-tasic. Definite ear candy. Yum!
great!
This is catchy.. I like the way the percussion, breath instruments and vocals play off each other..
This one glides. I love lighter dnb style fare. It don't always gotta be so dark and paranoid!
That's a really great arrangement. Very clear, with so much going on. Very nice work. I'd expect no less.
Inspirational rythms.
good stuff glu
Oh, this sooooooo Good!
