Hi Kirk.
Thanks... I do have a crazy selection of effects these days which is responsible for a lot of the sonic mangling I can do. Over the next year or so I'd like to get more selective and more competent about the results :)
I also think Yelyah's onto something. This might actually be a "track" if it had more structure. As it is the micro-structure created by automation isn't enough.
Lots of things to work on!
Thanks again.

OK- I'll admit I didn't listen to the whole thing, but I did hear about 6 minutes of it and it's interesting stuff! If I knew a tithe of what you do about manipulating sounds in software I'd be a league ahead of where I am!!

Yelyah, thank you for the encouraging words.
You're right that I have a pretty unsophisticated approach to what a "song" is. It's a facet I've begun to notice in everything I have done so far, that it is structurally uninteresting.
Guess I need to figure out how to take the next step!
Thanks again.

I listened to the full 24. :)
I dig what you've done here and would definitely call this music and not noise. I would like to see you create some separate sections. Like, a breakdown for instance, where you go for something totally different rhythmically before returning to the original idea.
Keep on experimenting! :)

Bethan you're very kind to even attempt to listen to this!
The kick drum that runs through the track is the source of most of the sounds, just mangled, tortured, and beat into shapes & frequencies kick drums were never meant to reach.

This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…

I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!
The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…

I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
So this track was purely for the fun of it. I was messing about in Omnisphere and came across this wonderful sound that reminded me of the guild highliners in Dune.
I built a beat around in using Stylus, Ricochet, and Dubstation. Then added more…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
Had a guitar lesson today. Jammed on some chords. The chords happen to be the same as (or similar to) those in Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. We just chose them randomly as a basis for experimentation with different voicings.
Anyway, got home and…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
Oh man, love this. Especially the second part (~1:45 - 3:30) which has great "movement". I'm sure there is a musicy word for it but I don't know it. I do know this is brilliant though. Encore!
Worked on this track at the end of January.. Then the RPM came and it did not fit with the other tunes... so I decided to get off my behind and upload it for you all to enjoy. Takes place at the zoo,
the plot is, of course, two chimps in love...
i call it miramar after the naguib mahfouz novel which i was reading at the time, just like in the book all the characters meet in the middle for the umm kulthum concert

Full of fun, rhythm and interesting sounds. Trying to work out what some of them are, very cool!
glu: :)
yeah, it feels feminine, artificial, and something else.. i'll let you know when I can place my finger on it... if it lets me...
still hiding.
wonderful use of textures and very cinematic as others have said :)
Love the blending going on in this one. And what a title! :)
man i really dig this one. The sounds and mood you achieved here are just stellar.
I caught this groove.
Father, the Sleeper has awakened. I don't know where I went for 4 minutes but it made my hair move. Pretty cool and very creative.
Former South American dictator turned clown? ha! Think I remember reading up on that..sandbagdido?
your music has definitely been going somewhere over the past few releases. This is great dubby sounds.
I just folded space from my shop and found myself sitting in the studio in front of the monitors. Neat track!
oooh this is compatible with my circuitry!!!
A very cool track.
Sounds like a sexy girl robot getting ready for a night out. That sound at the end is her zipping up her silver thigh-highs.

Again that was beautiful. I'm really enjoying these pieces.
Hahahaha nice :)
Like it.
Thanks Sister, best comment evar!
Nice beat :)
Beautiful.
Great beat Glu!
My cognitive operating system is much refreshed! Great album glu!
All kinds of fabulous sonic shapes in here, another great track!
Love this.
Love the feel of this one.
Okay that was awesomely weird! Kudos :)
Fun experiment.
Great beat.

Love it.
Love it. How do you consistently come up with this much great music? Those little Glubots must be working double-overtime!
This track makes me a Happy Machine :)
Love the sounds you've used here.
Okay I mightn't have expected 43m of fan noise to be quite this cool but it is!
