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.
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…
When magic and technology cross paths, all heck will break loose.

Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 3.
Another track that came from an odd dream that I had. I was having a bout of sleep paralysis one night, and I heard a young child talking to an older man, asking about me. The older fellow said
'Nevermind…
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 15.
I am contractually obligated to put a song about ninja penguins somewhere on this album.
Considering the title, it feels like the world now needs a video game or major motion picture for this particular…

They say if you travel far enough, you'll inevitably meet yourself.
Why travel? It happens all the time in dreams. Word of warning, though : It may not be the you you like to admit exists.
This is a post-RPM version of this track. (I had gotten some feedback that it seemed incomplete, so I spent some time developing it.)
I'm going to leave the original version of the track available, since it's interesting to compare how the…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…
Title track from AMUC's 2013 RPM album.
Probably the closest thing to a 'rock' track we've done this year.
5/11/13 - Uploaded a better mastered version of it. I've been fiddling with the mix over the course of a few weeks.

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.
Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.
I played the piano's through my midi guitar and Axon. You can…
Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option
Close…
This was my very first attempt at recording , done on two tracks , me picking and vox , AK rhythm , then me adding a harmony vocal , a bit basic but a Traffic song i've allways loved
Do you have any tricks you use to get the stereo vocals mixed well? It seems like every time I try, I bungle it up. I'm astounded how well lined-up the vocals on the left and right are. They're timed perfectly to each other.

The stereo vocal effect you use on this track is fantastic. I have a TV set I use for my computer monitor, and the left/right division is very clear, but the two voices mesh nearly perfectly.
This is my favorite one of the bunch - it's eclectic enough to hold my attention for a full five minutes. That's pretty impressive, considering my limited attention spa-- hey look, a bunny! (wanders away)
A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…
I've heard rumors about the vocal recording technique you use, but you have to hear it to believe it. That's really nice -- encompassing stereo effect..
I love the glitchy electronic stew you create here. (British accents and dogs make everything better.)
It reminds me a little bit of the "Magic Medicine" track from Incubus.
i like this song as a song but i have NO DAMNED IDEA how to arrange, perform, or record it. acoustic it's missing intensity. i can't make it work with drums and bass. this version with electric gtr and kbds is barely listenable. if there's one…
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.
Any Landing

Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
This is catchy -- the instruments sound crisp and clear.
If you're planning on doing any after-February rework on it, you may just want to change up the reverb on the vocals slightly, to get it to blend in more with the instrumental part.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
I like this one, lots of depth
But I don't know the words. :( It's catchy, though.
Yeah production on this piece, love the slightly Eastern feel.
Great mix dig it
bloody hell, this is mindblowing!
Very cool
Like the crispness and the way the human voices blends in and the way it transforms from one voice to another.
Most creative!
Apart from ACL`s "bunny with the boom box" this is the weirdest idea I heard on alonetone so far :-) Cool!
This is awesome
Cool groove on this one
Feeling like back to the days of Atari and C64 :-)
Love it! Crazy but great
nice beat like it
:)
good mix
I would repeat listen to that
You should expect a call from next sonic developer :)
Sounds great. Interesting music, very original.
Love the atmosphere of this one. Vocals are great.
Comments made by AMUC
Wow - nice guitaring on this one. (Yes spellcheck - guitaring is a word..)
[Dances about happily] I would love to hear this machine duet with my dishwasher.
This is beautiful. It reminds me of After Forever at their most mellow.

That's some nice clarinet playing.. (I'm guessing it's a clarinet - whatever that wind instrument is..)

Wow. This is fantastic. That mellow organ that kicks in around 3.5 mins is really pleasant.

This one flows really well. Vocally, you hit some really nice notes in the higher register.
Okay.. It sounds like the vocalist from Drivin' N Cryin' singing with Phideaux backing up on the instruments..
This has been intriguing so far - now I want to go read the original books. Vocally, it's reminding me a bit of Phideaux.
The dueling vocals work really well here..
Totally agree with the Gumbo -- this needs a music video, with low budget puppets.
So far, a very catchy album. I like the whimsical approach to electronica you take here.
I love the tempo/time signature changes here - the twists and turns really hold one's interest.

That is the most awesome synth I've ever heard.
This completely rocks. Definitely is one of those 'brainworm' sort of tunes that I'll be humming at work for the next three weeks.
