flotsam and jetsam
tossed ephemera
unanswerable question
entropic enigma
She Crept Through The Lost And Found
Seeking Pieces Of Her Thoughts And Dreams
Unaware That The World Around
Still Flowed Past As A Slow-Moving Stream
time is…
Synopsis :
I'm riding around in a Yugo, thoroughly lost in the woods. I have passed by the same French cafe thirteen times now, and each time I go in, they're speaking an entirely different language, and it's never French.

Lyrics…
What a great album, just a masterpiece in 8-bits, synths, vocal snippets, beats and more. My goodness, and this was an RPM? All in one month, ok. You killed it! So fun to listen to. Gotta say thank you for making this that! Dope from beginning to end but I’ll list a few favs as I’m trying to do that on my reviews when the project is long enough: “Ready Set Go”
“Answering Machine”
“Ring The Bell”
“Man-E-Faces”
“Seraphim”

Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish.
Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.

I've explained to Mrs R what Skynet is... Mrs R has explained to me what Speak And Spell is. We now count ourselves as enlightened... and sincerely hope it's not actually based on a true story!
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 7.
If you know the words, sing along!
I am going to post the lyrics here. They are being tabulated by a computer now and coming out on punch cards.
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 5.
An instrumental track. When I hear the music, I envision that video that Blondie did in the 80s for Rapture, but with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the redshirts from Star Trek dancing instead.
Freesound…
cast aside the scenes you see
I'll help you find your voice
the future's fast as Doppler blurs
but there always was a choice
No Air Support The Sun Is Low
Up In The Skies It Refused To Grow
beware the talking screens
they persist but…
Okay, just one more track. Did this one at the last second.
I needed to end the album on a 'dancing around apartment like an idiot driving the downstairs neighbors crazy' sort of note.
Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.
verse 1
the train has left the station
the terminal is bare
there's stirrings in the psyche ward
it's something in the air
that same old aggravation
old dog that bit the hare
a motion blur on the chessboard
which pawns have played…
I guess it's really gonna be farewell,
For as far as I can tell,
Once upon a time story sounds so swell,
the kind of story that we would tell,
We tell the children that it's all, alright,
Nursery rhymes to get through the night,
Hush little…
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.

Comments on AMUC's stuff
I got up to 63 tracks with plug-ins. Then my DVD/CD caught fire. I don't know why. I wasn't using it. :)

I'm curious as to how you arrived at the title for this track? Intrigueing... 🙂
very creative!!
This is one of my favorites of yours. Flashbacks to early Genesis.
My favorite of all your REM tracks, I love this kind of syncopated track with interweaving parts. Your longer proggier stuff is nice, too.
Very good, I like it.
Hmm, interesting and nice how you did this.

My fav he man figure! This is nostalgia. This bass reminds me of the bass in Pilotwings for SNES
Texas Instruments wants world domination....

Fabulously inventive, as ever! Lovely to hear you.
you had me at robots.
i would definitely check out that music video
I really enjoy your vocals on this one. There is something appealing behind the synth layers with the Candace of your lyrics.
Appreciate the module Synth Chiptune at the end. Vibes right :)
You should do voice-over work....regular guy roles. GREAT!
Overall a pretty good album.
No, not 12 tet. To see the tuning go to my blog www.chrisvaisvil.com Nice song this is - shades of prog which I really like

This whole album is catchy. It makes for nice background music while I'm working.
Love the lyrics to this one..
This is really nice. It reminds me of early electronic music from the 70s, and perhaps even before?
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.
