About Me


FOR MY ENGLISH/GENERAL MUSIC PROFILE SWITCH HERE

ENGLISH (or something similar)
Ciao! I'm Glen from Milan (Italy) ;-)
I'm a rocker but in the 80s my second passion was Dance and Electronic music.
I'd have never thought a day a could have produced that kind of music since 6 months ago, when I plugged my headphones to my pc searchin' new sounds and loops in the libraries I have in my hard disc.
I found a new world, and tried to mix that sounds with the guitar ones, inspired by the music I love from 80s and 90s (from Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood to Brian Eno' ambient series, Michael Cretu's Enigma remixes, last Mike Oldfield's productions, Aphex Twin, Chemical Brothers and so on...)
I had a lot of fun on recording and playing the tracks you can listen here, and created this new profile just to share the dance/ambient half of my soul ;-)

ITALIANO (e qui va già meglio)
Ciao! Sono Glen e vivo a Milano, una ridente (micca tanto) cittadina che si trova in mezzo alla Lombardia, una perfida ragione del nord Italia, in Europa.
Sono cresciuto come rocker però negli anni 80 condividevo la mia passione per il rock e per il metal, anche con altri generi, soprattutto l'elettronica e la Dance music.
Mai e poi mai mi sarei sognato di registrare un giorno qualcosa che assomigliasse a quel tipo di musica, fino a quando sei mesi fa ho appiccicato le cuffie al mio piccì alla ricerca di suoni e loop nuovi nella libreria che ho nell'hard disc. Ho scoperto un nuovo mendo e ho cercato di unire quei suoni a quelli della mia chitarra, ispirato dalla musica che ascoltavo negli anni 80 e 90 (da Relax dei Frankie Goes To Hollywood, all'ambient di Brian Eno, ai remix degli Enigma di Michael Cretu, alle ultime produzioni di Mike Oldfield, Aphex Twin, Chemical Brothers, ecc...)
Mi sono veramente divertito un casino a produrre e suonare le tracce che potete sentire qui, e ho creato questo nuovo profilo per condividere la parte dance/ambient del mio essere.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/27/2007
Band Website: glensite.eu
Band Members: Glen plays guitars, guitar synth (RMC System + Roland GR88), bass.
Drums are drum loops
Some keys are loops and some basses are loops too
Vocals are samples I stretched, tuned and synchronized for the session.

I record my guitars (and bass too) pluggin' them into a Line6 Pod Pro (not XT, but the old one) plugghed into a Terratec Phase 88.

I record guitar synth and esaphonic RMC for acoustic guitar (or a Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700) directly to the mixer plugged into the Phase 88.

I use Sony Acid Pro loops and samples libraries, but I don't use Acid Pro for sequencing, I use Cool Edit Pro 2 (Adobe Audition) for that and for recording. For mastering I use Izotope Ozone 3.

During recording sessions I drink Diet Coke (in Italy is Coca Light), eat Nutella and bananas, and smoke legal vegetables.
