GL Fiction and Arts

This is where I go to test-fly drafts and be creative...

Hey...  After 14 months operating in obscurity, suddenly I have not one  but two instrumentals trending (see:  https://audiomack.com/glfics)...

She Thought of Holly - Single by gL Fiction

Album · 2021 · 1 Song

Would have loved another week to edit this, but ran out of time...

This jazz medley of three holiday tunes is for a dear friend.

She spent much of the pandemic working ER wards as a medical scribe, only to finally catch COVID this week, wrapping up her college finals.

Merry Christmas to M, and to all. Wishing for some holiday magic.

(gL) In the dusk of melancholy, the bright little light of friendship reconnects and renews. This is the melody of renewal and rediscovery.  It is the light that beckons across the distance, across time.

To M, I owe the phrase 'bright little light', the ambient imagery, and key elements of the cover art.  In repayment, I offer this piece.

(gL) Newly Completed:  “Let’s Play” -- a spooky addition to your Halloween party mix.  Lots of over-the-top distortion guitars, deranged organ, sad piano and power drums.  How could you go wrong?

Sunder - Single by GL

Album · 2021 · 1 Song

Hey all!  Sunder just released on Apple Music, Beatport, and joints like that.  Kudos to MojoHeadz for making it sound sharp!

[ghlfiction]

(gL) When you're the first one down the mountain, every instant is a lifetime of thrill.

Crystal clear Dobro, hard edge power chords, sweet lilting ivories, bangin' beat and Don's magic ice (Timbres of Heaven). 

Any suggestion on what genre this is?  I don't know genres; I just write notes.

(gL) New and improved cut!  The night seems chill, but there’s gonna be a bust-up ‘fore it’s done.

Rhythm & base.  Lots of flats and sharps on the solo nylon guitar... but steer clear of the pounding keys.

Shouts to my niece for not trashing early drafts.

The usual credits to Don / Timbres of Heaven for the instruments and wind, to StrixSF2 for the slow footsteps, and to the ZapSplat site for fast footsteps and the broken glass.

Grins to cubans and cognac.  No love to the makers of cheap cologne...

(gL) Since beginning to post a bit of my music a couple of months ago, this is my first signed single.  It will be released by Mojoheadz Records on September 17.

Sunder is a rock instrumental, somewhere between progressive trance and postrock.  The thundering bass gradually lightens to haze as the steam begins to rise from the streets...
