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.

the excessive guitar layering that comes in at the first switch is awesome, and the switch back into the main chord progression sounds great. the percussion going on really helps keep the progression from getting too repetitive...but fade outs aggravate me. :)
Not only about this track,but about the rest too:you're so incredibly creative and courageous to combine styles,sounds,rhythmes,atmospheres.We like very much what you do and thank you for your comments about 3 of our track,we are happy you like tham.
From the 24 hour album. Began this one 47 minutes into the 24hr session. Listen to the full work here: http://alonetone.com/glu/tracks/glus-24
I haven't touched this track in over two months. What does it need?
Instrumentation: Bamboo flute…
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
now your vocals are sort of reminiscent of dose one in the song 'the crow' from subtle's album 'exitingarm'...i swear i don't try to come up with comparisons, but what better way to express an abstract thought than by referencing something concrete that would make more sense anyway?
this is pretty awesome.

your voice is eerily similar to the guy's from fujiya & miyagi..apparently you've been really busy since the last time i was active on alonetone. i think i've said it before, but your production and arrangements sound technically great. the longer i listen to this song, the more i like it.
i was kind of hesitant to start commenting on anybody's music, because the way the site is set up it kind of always feels like back patting in search of back patting, but this is really cool.
antarctica just started playing and i'm already into the bass line.

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…
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…
Field recording from SE Peru. Came across this pissed off spider monkey and decided to record a few minutes of this vocal bout. I'm not sure what elicited such a vocal temperament, and of course, at the time, I was worried it was a large cat…

Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…
ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..
08 – Feeling Confuzzzed. Written 19th/20th Feb. Recorded 20th Feb.
Come on Wembley, let’s see those hands in the air. As poppy as they come, including plenty of la la las to sing along with. I was very pleased with my Harrison-style slide…
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?
aspiring abductee pleas with alien to beam him into her ship.
Just a slight rework from early this year. New mix and vocals sometime in the near future. I'm lazy.
Summer Sadness indeed! But bittersweet sadness is best when captured in a smooth tune like this! I loved instrument-switching when I was in a band. cheers.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
thanks! these are just short brainstorms... you are right, the last one sounds like an ending to a track... Maybe that's what it will eventually become, who knows!
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

Comments on glu's stuff
nice structure. some cool guitar action in there to Sham
Oh and I just saw your comment on Homeless thanks mate
Oh yes dig it nice distortion this is great mate.
I click on play and nothing happens??
hey kirk... I ran the acoustic through guitar rig.. a few times.
Damn this is heavy! What did you run the acoustic through to get that distortion sound?
the excessive guitar layering that comes in at the first switch is awesome, and the switch back into the main chord progression sounds great. the percussion going on really helps keep the progression from getting too repetitive...but fade outs aggravate me. :)
funky fresh :)

Oh yes I like this mix mate your tracks are so polished very cool.

I can actually hear a rap....I heard was listening to someone the other night, forget who, but he was pretty good. Want me to dig him up?
ok thanks for narrowing down the search. I do recall you saying that you took piano lessons..but would have preferred to take theory at the time.
glu, please get something from my music and transform it into something cool of your own style.. it would be great to hear what you get
I see a very creative man, glu, you are so very creative... I liked it
hey glu, thanks! :)
Percussion is outstanding. I think all this song needs now is a Moveable Yonder T-Shirt!
Glad to see you uploading the individual tracks from the 24- cool!
Missed this one(easy to do with your catalog) Lovely track!
Comments made by glu
i get hooked on this one each time
oh yeah, this certainly moves! Nice epic piece. I'm all about the alien abduction vibe!
ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..

exactly what ACL said...

Nice chords! :) Really like the progression. Nice rhythm track too.
