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…

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
Lyrics:
Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
I'm really digging all the layers and melodies. The rhythm section moves very nicely too. Loving where your music has been going over the past several months.

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.
Lyrics:
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey
how'd you get so good
how'd you get so good
first thing this…
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.
And if you're reading this on alonetone, this is lucky track number 100.
24 "songs" in 24 days. Really, the only requirement was to produce a minute of music each day.
I wish…
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…
Wrangled in the string band to a play a pleasant little toe-tapper.

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 :)

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!

@ Licoresse.. yes most of what you think is gating exactly that. Some other chopping involved, but yeah, I experimented with gating for the first time! :-)
