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…

Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Memories of walking a coonhound in the small hours around the empty structures of Baltimore's Artscape festival before dawn- silent ferris wheel standing behind the rows of booths, vacant carnival installations on the Charles St Bridge. In this…
Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…
A beat I created for "Die Faxmachine", a collaboration with composers Du Yun and Ken Ueno, who faxed in (to a live performance) a composition for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, and electronics, interpreted on the spot by Mobtown Modern on 9…
I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
@ Mannequin Races. Yeah, that's me on the electric guitar... not much of a lead guitar player but I enjoy dabbling.
@ Sister best lyrics? Must be the hangover talking :-) thanks for the compliments! It's not nearly as pretty as your oceanic stuff, but I guess I was going for more dangerous waters, yeay!
@ Gumbo, I'll start brainstorming lyrics for a new pirate tune! Looking forward to yours.
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
and of course, awesome arrangement and performance(s). ;-)
I thought about stealing our mum's piano... thoughts? I'm starting to feel like I need one too... well, I've been feeling that way for some time, and I'm afraid that any instrument in that house sits neglected until we come home for the holidays!

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
Interactive audio walking tour, a collaboration with artist Kianga Ford.
The Story of This Place is a series of site-specific narratives that offer a portable audio soundtrack that guides the listener through a site with a fictional narrative…
Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…

HOT DAMN! kirk. I'm hypnotized, amazed, and affected with awe over your mastery of guitar and melody. There is real magic in that shop, both with your instrument crafting and instrument playing. consider this one double faved.
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
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?

funky fresh :)

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
hey kirk, most definitely have something planned for #300... now it's just a matter of finding the time. Still awed by this one.
oh yeah. this is good. I love the bowed stuff especially.
agree with the Sister..'victorian doll faces' should be the new title. love it!
buya! this is great! Slightly late here, but welcome to alonetone! Really enjoying your stuff.
Transmission successful!!! Love it and I knew I would before hitting the play button!

I'm starting to feel like I need one too... well, I've been feeling that way for some time, and I'm afraid that any instrument in that house sits neglected until we come home for the holidays!
oh for f*$%#s sake! This is no small timbre leaving the Megafauna musical palette... time to pony up and get one, brother and friends.
hehe, I soooo love this genre.
oh I like this! nice rhythm
@ The Good Lord Sluk thanks! I'm happy to hear that you like it so much! Were you there for the event?
Really enjoyed the part on *liberty*
really loving your looped stuff. great title too
this is fun and playful!
HOT DAMN! kirk. I'm hypnotized, amazed, and affected with awe over your mastery of guitar and melody. There is real magic in that shop, both with your instrument crafting and instrument playing. consider this one double faved.
@ nebulonicalchemy: I'd love to hear your mix of whales, monks, sonograms, planet sounds, and birds... I mean, PLEASE!!!
woah, this does strange things to my neurons! awesome!
Jennifer, you are back!! So, more than 200 waterfalls? I've driven around NC on a waterfall hunt.. what a gorgeous place... saw dozens of falls.
