Hurtling towards oblivion thanks to a giant catapult owned by a foul-mouthed voodoo child, he sends a final lewd finger gesture back to the world he sought escape from.
Unbeknownst to him, Voodoo Boy may have a vested interest in using him…
The final version of this track:
When escaping events that are falling apart, be leery of strangers offering gifts - particularly when they look like something out of Children Of The Corn and they offer to lob you into orbit with a giant catapult…

Even the cosmos needs system maintenance. When its IT department decides to delete something, sometimes that something doesn't want to go without a fight. Even computer viruses will do what they can to avoid the reaping hand of a virus checker…
Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw.
We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)

What an experience.. glad i had my headphones on for this one. Alot of it would have been lost on my crappy laptop speakers. Nothing obvious here... was literally surprised every couple of seconds. class.

A draft from RPM 2009 Challenge.
The lyrics are strange and could easily be misunderstood, so let me help:
So -- you have this bummed out fellow, the same one from my Alonetone 'album in a day' contest submission.
He's wandering around…
It's not much of a life trapped inside a cocoon of your own making.
Finale from "Dead In The Water" album.
A longer track, but it's worth the time to fully digest.

Trapped, Suffocating Inside A Snowglobe.
Written in 2007 after a particularly brutal winter. (Spring was taking its precious time manifesting.)
It kind of expanded from there, taking on a new meaning, as the lyrics perculated.
Hey, Thanks! The main software was Ableton Live on a Mac on one end and FLStudio + Acid on the Windows on the other. (See? we can all get along after all ;) A whole mess of VST plugins as well.
I also like what you have going here. There's a confused timeline, anachrony, retrofuturism - at times it reminds me of Matt Johnson/The The's first album Burning Blue Soul. These tracks really evoke the time pressure that impacted the forging of them.
The Challenge posted on the Deluge Discord group for April 2024 was to make an ambient drone track, and to share some new patches. I wanted to see if the new effects in the Community Firmware v1.1 Beta were up to it, and they seemed to be! I crafted…
To those of you who go down the rabbit hole. It's been a long winter. <3Kat
How much should I sleep? What should I eat?
How to be a better friend
Why am I tired, uninspired? Writer's block, world's end
How much noise from your neighbor…
Song idea number one for the 2024 RPM Challenge becomes finished song number one.
This might be the only song I like for this year's RPM Challenge. We'll see. Is the mix too reverby? Probably. I like it today but I might not like it tomorrow…
In a dramatic finale, the colonists confront the ripple effects of their actions and the ultimate fate of humanity, as they strive to shape a new future for themselves and their planet.
Going through my collection over the years...thinking I'll post some of those old tunes (pretty rough and ready....one take, recorded on garage band I believe). Why not...life is short! Thanks to anyone who listens :)
When I was a boy, I would ring my nan on the telephone
Numbers in the holes
Spin it round then let it go
Nowadays..
I carry a phone in my pocket
Oh stop it!
Oh where will it end?
When I was a lad
Used a notepad when I wrote thank you…
compass spinning
never winning
a chance to play dead
and drift in your head
pin the needle
shun the steeple
all the people
aimless irreverent
north
south
east
west
I'm so lost
in this maze
a perpetual daze
a perpetual daze
Sorry to hear it affected you that way. The mood of the album is definitely impacted by the season. February in New England can be a little gray and cold. The album does have some tracks with a little more pep in the form of instrumentals.
The track name was sort of stream of consciousness. I was dabbling with words that fit the feeling/theme of the music, and that sequence had a nice flow to it.
My first track as Black Bear Black Sheep and my entry for this year's RPM Challenge
It's not perfect but there was a lot of love put into this track and I'm happy that I'll get to share that love
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…
Comments on AMUC's stuff
the way you juxtapose your half-sung/half-spoken vocals with such original music is uncanny and quite an accomplishment.
love that exotic lead rhythm, that could've kept going, and the beats...reminds me of my own stuff :)
AMUC, you're right on my wavelength: bizarre, original, intriguing, crazy out there...speak to me o strange one.
My favorite so far.
Very interesting. I like the alterations in the vocal as different "speakers". What's a "freesound credit?"
flange me baby, yeah. very original like it
wow cosmic man. very cool
Is this what is known as an eclectic album - well I like it :)
Dark, brooding. This is not a car I want to ride in.
Great intro. Love the metal percussion.
What an experience.. glad i had my headphones on for this one. Alot of it would have been lost on my crappy laptop speakers. Nothing obvious here... was literally surprised every couple of seconds. class.
hope you are enjoying the month of music writing. I am really digging your track on Myspace-Trapped Behind a Mask. cheers
This is ameeeeeeezin!
Wow- an awful lot going on with this one. Love it. Very ambitious
Yes, I'd say you have. GREAT track.
Bright! Expansive. This is wide and really nice! Great images. Nice vox. Effective simplicities and rhythms. Jazzyishness!
nice work on your 24hr. sounds like it was fun to make.
This is great. Supremely atmospheric.

Digging this. Nice and meditative..
I'm getting strong Art of Noise vibes from this. Well done.
I'm digging this one. The lyrics really connect.
Reverb and overall mix sounds good to me. Good job!
What a strange sonic dimension this is. Very immersive through headphones.
Solid RPM Challenge album - this was a blast to listen to through headphones.
I like the acoustic space of the track. Listening through headphones, it feels like the band is surrounding you as they play.
This is ASMR-inducing stuff. Sounds really immersive through headphones. I'm getting an FSOL vibe from it.
Love this - getting strong Camper Van Beethoven vibes from the lyrics (particularly the verses).
I love the lyrics -- it brought a big, goofy smile to my face.
OMG - this is bliss through headphones.

I'm digging this album. I'm getting a lit bit of a Neal Morse vibe from this song lyrically.
I like this. Loaded with procedural awesomeness.
Oreo is an awesome singer.
This is one of those tracks that if you close your eyes while listening, it will conjure up mental imagery and take you to a very specific place.
You definitely capture the Donkey Kong Country vibe with this. (Now I want to go back and play that.)
This one has a nice flow to it, both instrumentally and lyrically.
Nice. I'm getting a strong Kevin Moore / Chroma Key vibe from this.
