Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...
Frenetic fun.
Boring technical details:
I honestly can't remember much about it which to…
Alternate title: Gratuitous Love Scene
Just hacking around with these chords; added some stuff and before I knew it I had one of those bits of cheesy music that accompanies those gratuitous sex scenes...
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
53XY!
I agree with what sandbags said before me. Its quite awesome :)
This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.
:)
GluMMI makes me happy. This has such a great hook - the vocalisations are such a wonderful touch. Really works, guys.
damn i'm liking this man, this is good
hello e-bowed guitars, meet the didgeridoo and tabla!
I could get lost in this one all day, and the mix sounds even better in cans!
Yes! Very nice!
OOO, this is nice!
damn, this is touching. more of the same please!
aptly named. i love the 303 squelch. - @ahonoe
Lovely and ploppy!
I don't know what you've captured here, but it's out of this world powerful, emotive, and it digs deep. Wish I could fave it again.
This has a really good thud to it! Great synth sounds.
Okay, I'm inspired!
Wow, love the space in this and that meaty synth!
Very gratuitous, perfect.
Gives me images of someone gracefully falling up a very long flight or stairs.
Great forboding energy...another powerful track. You capture human insecurities and put them to cool beats.

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.
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. :-)
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!
