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.
Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…

Every detail here has been carefully considered and harmonized in relation to the final result. This orchestration intellectual leaps immediately to our perception alerting our affective memory connected to the long journeys hearing of the pleas of progressive music we all had heard for sure. Incredibly great!
One part Guy Richie, one part Cirque du Soleil, the rest a trip down a gypsy campsite.
Played by me almost all acoustically (the only MIDI track was the bass) on my banjo, detuned guitar, recorder, and violin, along with various percussion items.
This album is pretty good - lyrically, it's top-notch. The mix may need a little-tweaking, particularly the vocals -- they may need to drawn out a bit more.
This song has hints of Prince in the intro but then quickly moves into a funky, dynamic groove with changes, breaks, fills, set ups and riffs that make it hard to sit still and listen. Positive lyrics enhance the experience.
From Soulganic's…
This is an electro-acoustic piece realized at Eric Siegel Productions ("where everything is a big production"). The electronics were composed, realized, and recorded by Eric Siegel, and the musicians playing are Dave Douglas on Trumpet, Gerry…
Very solid 24 hour challenge album..
There's some serious genre-channel surfing going on here, but you can still sit and listen to it seamlessly from beginning to end.
This is very moshable. =)
Okay, all kidding aside - I like how it develops around the fifty second mark, as the instrumentation kicks in. The vocals could probably stand to be dialed down a little bit in the mix. They're a little piercing in places. (The higher frequency ranges are kind of like hot pepper - a little goes a long way.)
While I think the mastering needs some reworking, I hear a ton of potential here.
You wouldn't happen to have the separated tracks for this song, per chance? It's the sort of thing I'd love to tinker with. (I couldn't guarantee it would still sound like a rock track when I was finished, though.)
After much deliberation with the voices in my head, I've decided that I like this stuff.
The genre-splicing going on here creates some interesting results.
I'm still trying to decide whether I like it or not, but it definitely gets your attention.
It sounds like as if Bob Marley were to collaborate with the Future Sounds Of London on the soundtrack for a sci-fi/horror movie..
This sounds like a Nintendo console trying really hard to console somebody who had a bad day.
I like it - it's very relaxing, but with a lo-fi sort of twist.
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
I wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…
This is interesting -- I'm hearing a mixture of influences here. A little Blue Oyster Cult mixed with some alternative rock from the 90s.
Vocals sound somewhere between Lenny Kravitz and the singer from Monster Magnet.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
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.
Awesome
MiniMoog? Great!
Cool moods here, great development and scoring.

There's something oddly meditative about this.

Heck yeah! I like uplifting songs like this. (maniacal laugh)
This is really catchy - I like the subtle use of vocoding you throw in there..
Okay - this is catchy. I love it when voices unexpectedly suckerpunch you from either the left or right channel.
I like the enigmatic melodies you're using here.
This mini-album is nice - it's the sort of thing I would listen to while drifting off to sleep.
This soundscape feels like it's drilling its way into your head. The left-right separations do weird things to the brain.
I like how this one starts off sort of unstructured, and then gradually builds from there. It has kind of a New Age-Chinese/Jazz hybrid vibe to it.

Very calming, but also unsettling at the same time. It has a very sad vibe to it.

Interesting - it sounds like a lounge jazz band of the damned. Really creepy atmosphere to it..

Damn. You guys keep raising the bar for these 24 hour challenges. =)

This reminds me of The Gathering at their most mellow, albeit a little more electronicky.
