The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
this sounds like a circus and all the clowns are sober and the kids and parents watching the show have had a double dose of Mescaline. Your hard work payed off. This is FNG!!! (FNGreat!)

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language".

Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
I wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…
This is interesting -- I'm hearing a mixture of influences here. A little Blue Oyster Cult mixed with some alternative rock from the 90s.
Vocals sound somewhere between Lenny Kravitz and the singer from Monster Magnet.

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is really catchy - the mix may need a little fine-tuning in places, but it's pretty good. (Louder rock is admittedly a pain in the neck to master.)
You have the mix damn near perfect here. The one thing it seems to be crying out for is lyrics. I instinctively want to sing something over the beat - it lends itself to that.
Unlike a lot of instrumental music I hear, this sounds very cathartic. It sounds like it's tapping into something, and channeling it out in the form of music. It held my attention for the full seven minutes..
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…
This is my cover of 'Lady Killigrew'. This song was originally done by Sister Savage, and Bethan Mathis, and can be found on either of their alonetone pages. I highly recommend their version. They sing prettier... probably look prettier too…
This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It reminded me of early Leonard Cohen so I took it in that direction with the finger picking and spookiness
I like the atmosphere you create here - there's something about this track that draws people to want to cover it. (I think it's the lyrics - they're really good.)
Heck, we could probably do an entire album of different people covering this one Gumbo track.
I like the textures of the guitar here - it reminds me of Criss Oliva's playing at its most mellow. (Criss had been the guitarist from Savatage, but was killed in a car accident about 15 years ago.)
This album is pure genius -- it's all over the place, but the different elements flow into each other, and form a nice tapestry.
Works for well for those of us with chronic ADD.
This was the second track for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny. It was written and recorded in an hour and a half in the middle of the night. Also the first time I ever played keyboards of any sort and there was no time…

rock on!
nice sound!
Yes, a brilliant album close - also a brilliant opener? Or just maybe brilliant.
Yeah!

Superb!
Underground new wave folk! Incredibly original. And great vox.
This track is haunted, and I thought that before the chiller vocal began. Very atmospheric and clever!
:)

Damn. You guys keep raising the bar for these 24 hour challenges. =)

This reminds me of The Gathering at their most mellow, albeit a little more electronicky.
This is haunting. I think you blend the music, voice, and percussion together perfectly.

This one flows nicely. It reminds me of Synchestra a little bit.
(ROFL) You've improved on perfection. =)
Heh. You kind of put a sailor's spin on the original. I could picture this being played by pirates travelling the seven seas.
Submersive. The perfect headphone track. This one has earned a home on my iPod.

This whole album is nice. (A Sarod On The Ocean Of Raga) It's good for meditation/relaxation. I have it playing now.

This is interesting. It's very fractal-sounding. It reminds me of an old fractal generator I used to play with called F-Prot.
I wish I could play guitar like that (or at all, for that matter.)
Mike Tyson's Punchout! Ha! It took me about a minute to catch the reference.
Heck yeah - now this is what I like. (starting moshpit)
I like all the different elements you're mixing together here. The way you incorporate the vocals into the mix is perfect.
