before I disappear
I form a fossil shaped by fear
fresh thoughts have gone up dry
yet old habits still multiply
my waking life is said and done
I'm just this script I have become
no good solution can be found
let's burn this whole thing…
Collaboration that I did with Beatwavecr. He composed the music, and I had done the vocals/lyrics. (September 2018 -- I fine-tuned the vocals and levels just slightly, but am trying to resist any further bouts of OCD.)
Lyrics :
[verse 1…
Lyrics :
I respect your ambitions
but only plumbers have pipe dreams
Stick with your inhibitions
And cast your hopes away
Leave matters of tomorrow
to the tide of the big sea
It shapes at its volition
And molds your fate as clay
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…
When magic and technology cross paths, all heck will break loose.
Lyrics
I can't help believing
that this course she can't stop weaving
a part of her deceiving
herself that this is right
She focuses fate
her intentions transferred…
Aliens thought they knew the best means to attack us, but their intelligence was a little dated.
Lyrics :
another forgotten signal
TV tuned to UHF
dead air an abandoned station
snowy light red screen of death
green men plotting conquest…
You get good separation on the drums here, frequency-wise. Everything stands out individually, and I find with this sort of music, it's very easy for it all to blend together into a big mess.
Who is that singing at the very end? It was kind of a surprise - I wasn't expecting it.
The year was 1989 and my high school rock band, Tempest Fero, was feelin' proggie! I can't remember who wrote what for this one. I do know we were quite stoked to have the little 4/4 to 3/4 to 6/8 thing at the end of the quiet parts. I also…
Cry (if you want to) – Steve Harris 990211
Run into these open arms my love, sad you’re breaking
But on the outside you’re so tough
You’re not fooling me, enough’s enough
Cry if you want to, cry…..
I’ll be here till someone comes…
I like the unstructured nature of this -- while it doesn't really have any rhythm or beat to it, the drone would be nice for drifting off to sleep. (You might have peculiar dreams, though.)
RPM 2013
I'm not who I was
don't judge me
on memories and dust
they're nothing
but footprints in my past
forgotten
never coming back
I've lost them
but I'm searching pretty hard
for new life
step out from the dark
into light…
A song about a tough day at the office.
This one turned into more of a project that it deserved. My first take on the vocals seemed okay at the time but was really unacceptable. I went back and fixed the problems and ended up clipping the…
From a mastering perspective, this is great - you can hear all the different instruments clearly.
I'm impressed you were able to master it so well in a four week period.
Stoner rock with a hint of Grunge. Inspired by Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Masters of Reality, Karma to Burn, Joy Division, Fu Manchu, Nirvana, Clutch. Desert Rock. Space rock. Garage rock.
Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?

Comments on AMUC's stuff
Sparse instrumentation. Really good vocals. I like how you say alot with few words. Really Good stuff!
Love the album! Good job!
Cool groove, melodic and strange too. Nice job!
It's a me Mario!
cool stuff
Very cool song.
This Cloud Operation has been isolated by a network technician as being antithetical to the needs of the Cloud Services team.
Like the interplay between the instruments. Nice variety, cool tune.
Like it! Very short.
Great vocals, imaginative, progressive and listenable song. Love it!
You voice reminds me of ELP. Very nice tunes.
Hugely inventive album - love the dark flavours, storytelling and folky overtones!
Love the urgency.
Oh this is wonderful..! Sounds like churchbells at sunrise.
Fabulously inventive!
I really like the melody on this track. Good work!
Really like the synth in this one. Everything is layered and build up really nicely.
Short but sweet. Love your vocals on this track.
The change at the 1:10 mark is excellent.
nice work

I like this one - it's catchy. Just pure lyrics being driven along by an acoustic accompaniment.
Creepy barotone. I like how it interacts with the stereo soundscape in the background.

I'm really digging these tracks -- it's great background music when you're lounging around on the couch and trying to relax.
I'm digging the twists and turns this song is taking. The mix sounds really good.
Beautiful. This is the sort of thing I could fall asleep to. (It's a great soundtrack to dreams.)
I like the sudden tempo change between the verses and the chorus. It caught me off guard.
This is really nice - it's probably the most cohesive (non-improvised) item from this particular playlist.
Nice! Is this entirely electronic, or are you mixing in electronic elements with real instruments? (The guitars sound real to me.)
Nice -- this sounds fantastic through headphones. I like how the bass is clearly separated out from the higher instruments.
I'm really digging this -- the vocals play nicely with the subdued instrumentation. (Cool concept too.)
I am so jealous of the production. It's absolutely flawless. Good work. The vocals remind me a lot of Neil Morse formerly of Spock's Beard.

This album is very nice -- I'm not sure I'd call it sleeping music, but I found it very relaxing to listen to while working at my computer.
This kicks butt -- I like how the different vocal layers interact with the stringed instrument (cello?) and the drum track.
From a mastering perspective, this is great - you can hear all the different instruments clearly. I'm impressed you were able to master it so well in a four week period.
Very strong vocals and a solid mix. I'm impressed.
I like this. It has a really creepy vibe to it.
I like this - it's a nice clean synthesizer sound and an elaborate melody. It definitely moves the neurons around in my head.
I re-recorded Proteus [I] to try and get the levels better. How does it sound now? Any feedback would be appreciated.
