Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…

I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
thanks for bringing this one up to the front again. I have only listened to about 2% of glu's music. I have estimated it will only take 2 years to listen to all his music. hehe. And it's well worth the time.
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
Left over audio from "How to Glu"
This one is about power and resistence.. which I find to be quite sexy when I think about it.
Instrumentation: distorted and clean acoustic guitar, swords, tabla, synth, drum programming, clapping, vocals.
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…
As somone who teaches photoshop I have to agree nice album art. All I would change is to look at the colour balance and give the body a little blur on the edges to make it "sit" in the picture a little more,

Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…
This song was made with only two short bird samples.
1) A wild screaming pija and 2)parrot. I made it last night after taking an antihistamine for all the chigger bites. paz.

definately fits the title... I just discovered a bank of weird sounds I haven't even messed with on my keyboards. I'm feeling too gloomy to write any more....l8r. :)
I've been listening to the output of my *Reichenbach* Reaktor ensemble all morning as it loops and phase shifts a recording of Erik Satie's solo piano piece Gnossiennes-1
I find it to be quite beautiful and entrancing and I decided to render…
I think Tenochtitlan in Mexico City..Templo Mayor.. but I cannot remember if they are sculptures or real skulls.. I'm sure they were real skulls at one time :-)
oh.. Capuchin Crypt is in Italy... no have not been but I'm dying to go there someday. Oh crazy skulls! I've seen a similar stacking of skulls in Mesoamerican ruins
Capuchin Crypt? Haven't heard of it.. is this 'capuchin' as in the genus of monkey? I have some crazy capuchin vocal recordings, three species.. they would sound haunting with a bit of reverb.. hmmm
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
Three hours.
No plan.
Halloween.
Thirteen tracks.
Dark but not dark.

This is a remix of my earlier track [Metaphysical Beat 2](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/metaphysical-beat-2). In fact it's the 4th remix but the first one I'm really happy with. I even found myself trying to dance along to this when I…
Mat and Jodi have been separated by a vast divide in time and space. AND YET! they can still create the distucto! as if by magic.
this track was part made in Brooklyn this morning and afternoon and simultaneously in Berlin this afternoon and…
Another in my series of experiments with the Reaktor ensemble Metaphysical Function.
I used two instances of Metaphysical Function to generate a soundscape that was bounced to audio, chopped up, and re-arranged.
The whole thing was rather…
Yeah boy! This one has the potential to be a real groovin' tune.. even flirts with club (don't throw your shoe at me if it offends you).. I too can here a 4-floor beat jump in around 02:20 or so.. drop off at 03:45 and picks back up right before 04:00..looking forward to wherever you take this-- I'm really liking your rhythmic/atmospheric direction..
Hey! Thanks for the comment! To answer your question, I'm using Ableton Live to roll my own rhythms.. I have a slew of approaches, ... I might draw notes in a piano roll, trigger sounds with a midi controller, or beat box, clap, bang on some dish-ware... whatever gets the job done!
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
Another experiment with the Reaktor ensemble 'Metaphysical Function' only a bit longer this time.
Again Reaktor is the only instrument at work here although it's going through a mastering chain including Space Designer with a very short impulse…

Fabulous track!
sdsadsd
What a cool track! Put a didgeridoo on it and it would remind me a bit of Outback. Where's the Glumeister been hiding lately anyway?
pretty cool.
brilliant
Guitars.....sooooo cool! I just dig this tune! And swords too! What more could you want?!!
Classic Glu- Beautiful!

Just wanted to comment on your album art..you do amazing graphics. The snake with your upper body is awesome.
Great groovin' track man!

--nice, man; 'pure emotion.' Thanks for recent comments.
Nice atmospherics Glu!
This is intensely dark. Ambient tracks like this can be hard to pull off. This is very well done.
you make me smile, man thanks for recent comments now i'm going to go listen to jsbach's sheep may safely graze best
definately fits the title... I just discovered a bank of weird sounds I haven't even messed with on my keyboards. I'm feeling too gloomy to write any more....l8r. :)

wow, really like this tune! lovely vox and melody
VERY VERY cool. 11 minutes of awesomeness deserve more than this trite comment. For now, I'll just say: captivating mood. kudos
yes hardrick, it's my spooky contribution. :-)
arse kickin' mix. love the new sounds
zombie tombstones! they make great samples! I should get out the field recorder and take a walk this evening!
the new additions are great! definitely groovin' there!
haha love cross continental collaborations :-)
YEAH! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Hi, 'Guest' -- I'd love a piano but for now I'll have to do with Sudara's 15min recording session.
sounds like something oozing out of the strata to take over the city
