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.

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!
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's Voices

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…

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!

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.
