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.

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 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.
I like the melodic twists and turns this takes. Strange theme - very sci-fi..
I would love to hear the vocals get more attention - they seem to be competing with the instrumentation for the limelight.
As the song says, this is a song I wrote for the RPM Challenge. I simply took my actual experience beginning at 12 midnight on February 1st, and a couple or three hours later I had my first song. The player takes away the intensity of this track…
2010 Vocal Jazz Festival - Mansfield University of Pennsylvania
The Mansfieldians, a 12 voice vocal jazz ensemble, held a concert on April 15, 2010 closing the day's festivities. Directed by Dr. Sheryl Monkelien, the group features some of…
I confess I wasn't expecting this -- when you see an album cover, you have a preconceived idea how the music will sound based on it.
This totally surprised me -- I love the strings here and the wind instrument being used.
Welcome to the Beauty and Truth Lab. Describe what you want more than anything else.
The song is part of the soundtrack from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings," which…
I like this one - of all the ones I've heard so far, it really grabs your attention. All the different elements (acoustic guitar and the unusual drums) mesh together well.
The chorus is adapted from "O Death Rock Me Asleep", by Anne Boleyn, while imprisoned in the Tower of London, waiting for her execution.
(Tolar & Savigear 2010)
I'm hearing a mixture of vocal influences - Tracy Bonham, Letters To Cleo, maybe even a little Splashdown.
Overall, this flows nicely - the only thing you may want to do is pull back a little on the open hi-hat in the background.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I like that harpsichord-esque synth, and the various twists and turns the vocal melody takes.
This album as a whole flows very nicely -- it holds your interest. I haven't gotten bored for a second.
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
Interesting -- this is good sleeping ambience, if you want to have really screwy dreams. For some reason, this has me thinking of number stations.
[listening carefully for EVP's]
This album has been all over the place so far -- I like the genre channel-surfing approach you take here.
Is this named after the neuroscientist, by chance? I googled the name on the whim, and that's the only thing that came up.
Part 1 - Hotel & Backstory.
Hotel.
In which Johnny tries to betray Angela, whose suspicions are raised when Jenny calls.
Backstory.
In which we learn about Julia's involvement in the affair.
Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
This album is very captivating. You definitely wear your influences on your sleeve, but it's a certainly a good shirt.
This is playing like a concept album - is there a theme to all of this? I'm detecting links between the various tracks.
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.

**Dancing about like an idiot** I like this. =)
Awesome! This brought a smile to my face. I love hearing different genre's try their hand at FOTB.

(ROFL) This is great. When the sacred janitor at the edge of time speaks, you better pay attention. =)

Nice. I like how it starts rocking out at about the two minute mark and then again at 2:50. (Sweet guitar solo..)
This one has a nice flow to it. The flute adds another dimension to the sound, with the bass adding depth.
Very relaxing. This has a Peter Vriends sort of feel to it.
Wow. This one has a nice chemistry to it - the whole thing meshes well. I particularly like the vocal buildup around the 4:45 mark until the end.
Oops - if my last comment wasn't expressive enough, I really liked that track.

The vocals here are impressive. They play off the bass and drums well..
I really like this - you create a nice atmosphere here. The bass synth anchors the whole thing down as the higher synths weave a tapestry.
Okay - I like this one. It's catchy. The lyrics are well thought out, and the guitar accompaniment fits it like a glove.
