Remastered the levels slightly on 3/4/09.
An attempt at a progressive metal-inspired piece with time signature changes.
Moral of the story: Kind of a demented play on Charlotte's Web - if you give somebody wings and they hate your guts…
An abduction of sorts - the abductor has honest intentions but perhaps a twisted sense of wrong and right.
(Having your atoms jumbled up by a black hole sometimes has that effect, according to that Stephen Hawking guy. I think Stephen King may…
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…
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…

Cool Indeed! the vocals have a clarity that is true to the original idea and I love the tangential approach. Great stuff. Listened three times and still grinning!
I like the melodic twists and turns this takes. Strange theme - very sci-fi..
I would love to hear the vocals get more attention - they seem to be competing with the instrumentation for the limelight.
As the song says, this is a song I wrote for the RPM Challenge. I simply took my actual experience beginning at 12 midnight on February 1st, and a couple or three hours later I had my first song. The player takes away the intensity of this track…
2010 Vocal Jazz Festival - Mansfield University of Pennsylvania
The Mansfieldians, a 12 voice vocal jazz ensemble, held a concert on April 15, 2010 closing the day's festivities. Directed by Dr. Sheryl Monkelien, the group features some of…
I confess I wasn't expecting this -- when you see an album cover, you have a preconceived idea how the music will sound based on it.
This totally surprised me -- I love the strings here and the wind instrument being used.
Welcome to the Beauty and Truth Lab. Describe what you want more than anything else.
The song is part of the soundtrack from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings," which…
I like this one - of all the ones I've heard so far, it really grabs your attention. All the different elements (acoustic guitar and the unusual drums) mesh together well.
The chorus is adapted from "O Death Rock Me Asleep", by Anne Boleyn, while imprisoned in the Tower of London, waiting for her execution.
(Tolar & Savigear 2010)
I'm hearing a mixture of vocal influences - Tracy Bonham, Letters To Cleo, maybe even a little Splashdown.
Overall, this flows nicely - the only thing you may want to do is pull back a little on the open hi-hat in the background.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I like that harpsichord-esque synth, and the various twists and turns the vocal melody takes.
This album as a whole flows very nicely -- it holds your interest. I haven't gotten bored for a second.
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
Interesting -- this is good sleeping ambience, if you want to have really screwy dreams. For some reason, this has me thinking of number stations.
[listening carefully for EVP's]
This album has been all over the place so far -- I like the genre channel-surfing approach you take here.
Is this named after the neuroscientist, by chance? I googled the name on the whim, and that's the only thing that came up.
Part 1 - Hotel & Backstory.
Hotel.
In which Johnny tries to betray Angela, whose suspicions are raised when Jenny calls.
Backstory.
In which we learn about Julia's involvement in the affair.
Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
This album is very captivating. You definitely wear your influences on your sleeve, but it's a certainly a good shirt.
This is playing like a concept album - is there a theme to all of this? I'm detecting links between the various tracks.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Perfect title for this. Great stuff. Melodic, Dark and frakkin awesome!
Its like if death cab for cutie and nine inch nails fused into one artist. This is cool stuff!
yeah, man
I enjoyed this.
Wow mate I listened to your whole 24 hr album, what a trip some cool sounds happening in here. Great job well done.
Give me a second. I just gotta catch my breath here.
Ooh 1.42 of great stuff! Would love to hear more!
Hahaha! I love it when I'm taken to experiences/events without warning! Thank you! (I can't believe I nearly missed your project!)
yes, the flood! Really enjoying your 24h! Congrats!
love that synth sound
Nice. Mix seems fine here. I cranked it up so the neighbors could hear. : ) They all think I'm weird so this really helped.
Great sounds! I like it!!
Hee hee! like it :)
Wonderful...so many flavours here, but I have to say that ethereal, forboding intro is just awesome!
Wow this is great nice job well done
Awesome how it kicks in around 2:20; great buildup.
oh yeah, this certainly moves! Nice epic piece. I'm all about the alien abduction vibe!
What sister savage said! Awesome mix in cans and I think the levels are just fine
Awesome with headphones! Love the folky vocal around 1 min 55!
Cool Indeed! the vocals have a clarity that is true to the original idea and I love the tangential approach. Great stuff. Listened three times and still grinning!

**Dancing about like an idiot** I like this. =)
Awesome! This brought a smile to my face. I love hearing different genre's try their hand at FOTB.

(ROFL) This is great. When the sacred janitor at the edge of time speaks, you better pay attention. =)
I like this one - of all the ones I've heard so far, it really grabs your attention. All the different elements (acoustic guitar and the unusual drums) mesh together well.
Nice. I like how it starts rocking out at about the two minute mark and then again at 2:50. (Sweet guitar solo..)
This one has a nice flow to it. The flute adds another dimension to the sound, with the bass adding depth.
Very relaxing. This has a Peter Vriends sort of feel to it.
Wow. This one has a nice chemistry to it - the whole thing meshes well. I particularly like the vocal buildup around the 4:45 mark until the end.
Oops - if my last comment wasn't expressive enough, I really liked that track.

The vocals here are impressive. They play off the bass and drums well..
I really like this - you create a nice atmosphere here. The bass synth anchors the whole thing down as the higher synths weave a tapestry.
Okay - I like this one. It's catchy. The lyrics are well thought out, and the guitar accompaniment fits it like a glove.
