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.
I happen to own a mutant monkey as a pet, and was hoping this music would live up to the album name, and help sedate the bugger. Now he's more overexcited than ever - he used his laser beam eyes to get into the drop ceiling, and now he won't come down.
This song has went through so many versions we lost count a long time ago. Beginning seems a little boring but it's better through out the song we hope you like.
This is very catchy. If it can get me dancing about in my chair with a broken leg, that's saying something. The sound production is very tight.
It feels like it needs a cooler title, though - something like 'Encounter At [insert random planet/constellation name here]'.

well i've forgotten
more than i've known
i've reaped the harvest
of all i've sown
the ghosts they haunt me
in waken dream
in murky waters
i go to sleep
what does it matter
what i believe
i broke my vows
so long ago
so don…
This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
You should try and find some college student who is a visual arts major, to see if he can take these tracks and pair them up with video footage. (It might make for a good final project for somebody.)

This is beautiful - I'm speechless. (Well, except for that sentence.)
I guess you can't really communicate that you're speechless without saying something. It really creates a parodox if you think about it too much.
This song was created by Alonetoner [Joshua Wentz](http://alonetone.com/joshuawentz), featuring the voice of [Absinthe & The Dirty Floors](http://www.thedirtyfloors.com)' Jessica Risker and is track 6 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows…
Okay - I've always been a dumb sucker for female vocals. The vocals by themselves are nice, but you also build a nice synthesizer backdrop for them. All sorts of glitchy, vocoding fun going on here.
This began as a remix of a song I did almost exactly a year ago, and I wanted to see how the same melodies and motifs could evolve over the amount of time. While I stuck with the same acoustic recordings from the original session, the synths ended…
This is nice - it blends an ethnic flavor (Latino/Mediterranean)together with some old-school analog synthesizer.
You wouldn't think the two would go together, but they complement each other nicely.
This appeals to my inner geek. (Okay, maybe not so inner..)
It's like if you took Aesop Rock, and put him into a B-rated sci-fi movie or an Atari video game.

Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
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.

Interesting Podcast. I'll have to subscribe to the feed..
This is really good for a live performance. I've had the entire setlist on loop while playing my video game here.
I really like the electronica meets Mr. Bungle vibe to this. The title is kind of abstract, though. (Is it a temporary name?)
I love this - it appeals to the progressive rock part of my brain. I'm hearing shades of Phideaux and Spock's Beard mixed in there.

The vocals intrigue me - they remind me a bit of Fish from Marillion.

I like the atmospheric nature of this one -- it creates a nice soundscape to zone out to.
I like the lyrics - the words are very tight and you can tell a lot of thought was put into them. Solid production too..
I really like the chord progressions at work here. It has a certain Beatles flair to it (at their most mellow.)
This is an interesting composed work -- I like how it feels like it's split into sections, kind of like a classical piece.
This is very catchy -- it sounds somewhere between Pain Of Salvation, BT, and Savage Garden. I like the harmonies at work here.

This rocks - I'm hearing a strong New Order/Depeche Mode vibe to this.
I really like the clarity of the percussion here - everything sounds as clear as a pin dropping.
