Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…
Toughest thing to mix on the entire album. Synthesizer music for the attention-impaired.
If you don't like the current melody, wait five seconds.

The last track from my RPM Challenge album, "The Loudest Silence".
The story is loosely based on something I read, but there's a lot of poetic interpretation involved. It deals with people who spend a lot of time staring at the stars - like the…
This is probably the least electronic-sounding of everything that I did from RPM 2010, although it still heavily uses samples (either self-sampled or from Freesound).
That is me playing the harmonica, though. (No, really!)

Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…
I had been listening to the new Massive Attack album for a few weeks, and I was initially trying to mimic some of the sounds I heard on there - especially from the songs "Splitting the Atom" and "Girl I Love You." But, then somehow the whole thing…
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆

I am not the catalyst
I'm not the pistol, the stamen, the seed
creation abandoned me
I am not the catalyst
there are books with words i've never seen
which makes me love them even more

Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…
It feels like you're putting a piece of yourself into the violin while playing it. That's really tricky to do for those of us who program synthesizers.
from my tapes from 2009 it is part of three tapes digitized ... :) the high resolution is here

I put most of the audio tapes on video too.. and uploaded…
I like this sort of thing - it reminds me of what you hear on shortwave in an empty spot where there are no voices. You get atmospherics and other artifacts from technological devices. At times it can almost sound musical.
This one's mostly MIDI clips in the Superior Drummer 3 and EZKeys plugins in Reaper. I fumbled along on my new MIDI keyboard controller to add the bass part using a sound from SampleTank. Pretty happy with it except for the abrupt end of the last…
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
I'm digging this - you get the levels perfect. I like how the instrumentation slowly builds up over the course of the song.
(It's nice being able to see the audio visually now when the song plays - it gives me a better sense of what the optimal levels are for music should be.)
I'm liking what I'm hearing of this album so far. It sounds like it would be at home as the backing track of an independent video game. The tracks are emotionally enigmatic. They definitely prompt me to be feeling 'something', but it's any clear emotion that I can assign a name to. (Sort of like that feeling you get during dreams. Is it happy? Sad? It's unknown, yet the dream still has some unique emotional fingerprint.)
I take it the hurried part in the middle is when the cat suddenly decided "I need to be somewhere else like RIGHT NOW", and scampered off at light speed.
A bit of fun - took some samples of Hillary Clinton coughing, Trump saying "Russia", TV media reporting, Bernie Sanders going "wooah woaah woaah" , and turned the whole lot into a rhythm..

I like this - it has the feel of something I would have heard in video arcades back in the 80s. It also captures the feeling of somebody being in a singular place spinning around and being able to capture 360 data about his/her surroundings, with the expected vertigo-inducing sensory overload.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Love this opening track!

Very cool electronic piece! -KAC
Hypnotic melodies and awesome beats! Nice track!
Stirring stuff!
whoa cool sounds!
big yes from me! love the synth especially...
Interesting, and very very weird.
This is killer - Had to loop it for a bit. Woostah, huh? I'm a stones throw away in So. Nampshah!
Woah! Departure! Cool sounds here!
I love the panning.
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, Shadow.
This sounds very psychedelic. Brilliant application of sound effects.

This one has a nice flow to it.
I like the synthesizer passages starting right around the 1:30 minute mark. Brings a smile to my face.
I like the rhythm to this one - it has a very distinctive [chugging?] sort of motion to it.
This is euphoria for the ears.
This is really good. The production is crisp and clear. The synthesizers call back to 70s prog.

Digging the guitar solo around the 1:30 mark. Sweet.
I'm digging this - it brings a smile to my face. The synthesizers hit all the right spots. Reminds me a little of Ed Van Fleet/Synchestra.
This sounds like it would be at home in an Alfred Hitchcock movie or possibly a Twilight Zone episode.

This rocks. I like that subtle flanger around the two minute mark.
I like the jazzy elements to this one.

I'm really digging this one. The chorus paints a bleak picture.
Is this being played in 12 TET? I'm hearing notes and sounds one wouldn't normally hear. (And I'm liking it.)

The sound production here is off the charts. Dan Fogelberg comes to mind listening to this.
This is genius. I love the sampling.
