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…

I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Vocals and percussion are courtesy of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks. While recording a simple guitar track in Kev's garage, things got intersting when we opened the garage door, and let the sounds of this huge flock of birds in the…
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.
yes! lined up like useful idiots. This track is spot on! goes from Whisky era Jim Morrison vocals to a Beck-esque groove, with a lyrical spirit of Dead Prez. MAD PROPS.
I was just playing along with a looper pedal, trying to work out some ideas for a "real" song. I was just recording straight to a single stereo track and not worrying much about my playing or the mix. But when I listened back afterwards, I thought…
this is perfect for combing through my thesis in the final days before the deadline. I can just get lost in text while the ethereal textures lead me to my next words. I love your use of trance-inducing guitar loops. turned a good friend onto this site and he is a big fan of your stuff. it's nice to have experimental musicians like you on alonetone. Thanks for uploading more stuff today!
btw- love the birds that subtly emerge through the ambience... and that synth pad that moves a half step up and back down....
you have achieved an amazing mood in this tune. props.
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

"and ooooregano" lovely! I'm all about zee pasta too!

damn, I cannot help myself from commenting again on this one... it captures a fleeting moment. Thanks for letting me re-experience it over and over.
yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!
this sounds incredibly familiar.. but I cannot seem to put my finger on it... Very nice melodies.
still lovin this tune. Hope you upload more soon.
oh my god this is beautiful. love the harmonic accents. your guitar sounds so rich. it wants to come out and play more often...
thick and lush!
like this one too! But it's too short!! Wish it lasted longer.
yes yes yes! how did I miss this! love it! especially around the first minute. great beats.
really digging this tune. love the guitar work. the birdies too!
you two have 22hrs of favorites! that's awesome!
just perfect hahhahahahaha brilliant ending!

This whole bloody EP should be plastered all over the the home page! Man, I wholly share your sentiments! Hey Hey!
yes! lined up like useful idiots. This track is spot on! goes from Whisky era Jim Morrison vocals to a Beck-esque groove, with a lyrical spirit of Dead Prez. MAD PROPS.
Hell yeah! Lovin it!
