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.
This sounds very crisp through headphones, and I like how you have the different instruments spread between the left and right channels. I'm also digging the quirky melodic sequences. (Are you using quartertones?)
Really catchy! I'm impressed with the sound production, although it admittedly doesn't sound '1969' to me - it has more of a January 1970 sort of feel.
I was fooling around with studiofactory for a while and discovered "random noise" making elements. I recorded a few tracks of that with different parameters and mixed them into a track. There was a pink noise oscillator going into a sine wave…
I'm listening to this, and it feels like a genuine album, rather than simply a collection of individual songs. I like how the songs seem to flow into each other, and create this grander atmosphere.
Synths are meant to represent the fast beating heart of the technological city, with its busy trains and industrious people. The breathing is life, and the cheerful keyboard is supposed to be the fun and excitement of life in a city with a flourishing…
1) Be a complementary force to the alignment that they call the change of leadership.
2) Use attraction, alignment and avoidance and extended this with a number of traits.
I'm digging this - I like kind of the freeform improvised nature of it. The sort of thing that would make for interesting dreams if it came through on the speakers while I was sleeping.
"Dagger's Blade" from the RPM Challenge Album "Dearly Beloved" by the band Doll Butcher. A blend of rock and electronic music, this song is about the introvert's struggle.
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.

I'm digging this (actually the album as a whole). This particular track has a Winter Brothers kind of vibe to it.
Poor, poor bear. At least didn't die in vain, because this track rocks.
I have a feeling this is what they would play in the self-replicating robot factory to try and increase production.
This sounds very crisp through headphones, and I like how you have the different instruments spread between the left and right channels. I'm also digging the quirky melodic sequences. (Are you using quartertones?)
I'm liking the melody played by the flute-like synthesizer. It feels like it goes counter to the rest of the melody, but in a good way.
Really catchy! I'm impressed with the sound production, although it admittedly doesn't sound '1969' to me - it has more of a January 1970 sort of feel.
I like this for some strange reason. It's like R2D2 is malfunctioning in some filibustery sort of way.

I like this - it's a real foot-stomper. The vocalist also really holds up her end of things. She carries the lyrics well.
I like the crunchy drums here. This sounds very professionally mastered - all the instruments jump right out at you in the mix.
I'm getting a Jean Michel Jarre vibe from this. I like the synthesizer voices you chose.
One thing I'm digging about this album is while each song has its own unique identity, it still feels like it's part of a greater cohesive whole.
I'm liking this one. It's a nice hybrid of electronically-generated music with some real instrumentation thrown in. The whole album I've been digging.
I love long-play tracks like this that just go in all sorts of unexpected directions.

Thanks - this is what I needed to chill a bit after a particularly stressful day.
I like the compound time signature in the vocal melody. It's catchy, and makes me want to bob my head along to the music.
I remember Circles -- this is a nice 'slight return' of the melody from it.
I'm blown away by the sound production here. (And the vocals are pretty darn good as well.)
This is one of my favorites off the album. The lyrics are colorful.
