The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.
This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…

KICK SNARE AND HI HAT are from my limited one-shot sample collection on this computer. The rest of these sounds are samples of mosquitoes. They basically fly around my short shotgun mic while I try to record saki monkey vocalizations. I figured…
I'm disturbed by the love affair people have with institutionalized violence. We inadvertently endorse and legitimize war by saying nothing. Maybe it is because we would rather subdue ourselves with meaningless television shows and those neurotics social networking 'about me' quizzes than challenge the norms by which geopolitical power is executed worldwide, both economically and militaristically. What world did Enlightenment principles bestow us with?
MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
thanks for the comments Glibert! This one was thirty minutes from figuring out the guitar lick to bouncing the tracks. I'm most happy with this brainstorm out of all of these because it just came out when I began recording... more naturally than the others.
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
A coop between me and another alonetoner and a Chill productions member, Captain Kirk. Original melodic idea and lyrics by me, guitar, piano, final mix, final composition and mastering by Kirk and the beautiful singing is done by his wife…

Comments on glu's stuff
What if Mike Oldfield did Darkwave... it might sound like this. The wild-panned backward drum solo in the middle tickled my ears, nice stuff!
Cool ideas here, nice sequencing and use of sounds as rhythm. Does have a dreamy quality.
very cool . It sounds like this project was alot of fun.
This is so excellent...
Glu is Awesome, and a staple food in my music diet...nuff said.

Former South American dictator turned clown? ha! Think I remember reading up on that..sandbagdido?
this is so amazing... just a brilliant montage.

droppin' bomb after bomb in this playlist.
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...

hahhaha yeah!!! filthtone ftw!!!
this sounds utterly hopeless in the best of ways.
I think your 'desert gypsy' and my 'it's storming inside' need to meet up for a draw!
hands down... this is my favorite kjwise tune. bittersweet melody + female vox ftw!
really enjoy d&b-esque tunes with piano
just in case you both are clueless.. this is my favorite ACL tune to date. :-)
I'm still waiting for 7/8 done version :-)
oh yeah, why did I not fav' this one sooner?
woah I remember an earlier version of this one! This is gorgeous. The instrumentation is perfect.
if this were a crayon color it would be pensive purple.
poignant. Perfect title.
