Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.

MMI, I just listened to your album straight through and I'm impressed! I was transported, not questioning, just floating through the ice caves shimmering.
this is the music that probably played in my head when I was a child as I dared to stare into the SUN for as long as I could before blinking. Then, I'd blink, close my eyes and stare at the pink wall of skin set aglow, letting my mind wander up into the firmament.
Excellent!!!
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…
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
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…
Frustrated with how slow my solo acoustic/vocal songs are going, I decided to spend the weekend making something chilled out, just to relax myself and to let people know I haven't died.
Its a short instrumental track. I call this minimalist electronica…
Episode One:
Sandbags allowed me to use his mad rhythms- see here for an explanation: http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/my-name-is-harry-palmer Sudara lent me some samples of him playing chords from his new autoharp, an ebow against piano…
Glu guides you through an instructional song, revealing secrets along the way.
Instrumentation: Director's comments included! beat boxing, real swords, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, vocals, drum programming, tabla, and tambourine. My apologies…
First post-24h tune. Music written and recorded throughout the day... and lyrics in the evening. WARNING: This one is another cliché romantic synth-pop tune; same *muse* as the last one.
Recorded: August 1, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum.
:-)
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
Comments on mmi's stuff
so do you think brian eno heard too much olympic music?? i'm digging these tracks and i completely missed the figure skating.
Wild tune great to listen to while i'm slidding along in calm waters fishing.
Listening to this again... I'm reminded of some of the better tracks by Tangerine Dream. Wonderful!
Beautiful. I like the guitar part. Ha! The reversed guitar swells are a pretty cool touch.
Really really good album. Proof you don't have to be loud to be interesting.
I am really loving this album, it's a blissfully shimmertastic!
Gorgeous!
Nice work :)
Lovely melody, very relaxing.
S'lovely. Painfully so.
Am halfway through your album. It's beautiful. It's like a massage. You're a great friend to me, and a superb sonic masseuse.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn... I must get a copy of that Pink Floyd album if for nothing else at least for a high dose of inspiration.
Lovely, sweet music. I'm proud my photo is on the cover. Hope your album will do well! Good luck. Robin
I can tell this is gonna be good stuff already, right up my geetar alley.
This is brilliant!
That's nice.. It almost makes me want to rush out and get Reaktor. Any chance of a VST version of it someday?
Or perhaps this is the music aliens play while they dissect humans. ;) ****added to favourites****
this also qualifies as appropriate music to dissect an extra terrestrial to.

Who knew that destroying a musical instrument could be so satisfying?
Brilliant. Also serves as a reminder that we shouldn't forget about the "old school" techniques in favour of all the blinkenlights we now have at our disposal.
Yeah, ok... yours is better :-) Love the organ(ish?) sound.
Fabulously fabulous. Perfect morning treat...
I say again, you're my hero.
Trip hop with unique instrumentation. Nice!
dude, you're my hero
Brilliant. I _love_ the faux live.
we're not worthy! we're not worthy!
Dude, this is awesome. Just like when I'm jamming by myself except when you're doing it I don't hurt my fingers!
Need a scraper to get the grin off my face. You been digging around in my record collection?
Inspiring. I can't wait for my guitar lessons to resume!
uh, what glu said. Early morning, pre-caffeine... perfect.

the tempi changes are genius!
You moving to Iceland soon? :-) Awesome.
Careful, might have to start calling you Prince glu. :-)
Smiling from the first note. By the 20th my face was out of real estate...
fuck, Oasis has taken over glu's account! Call the cops!
Holy crap! How did I miss this before? C'est formidable!
