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!
Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…
It feels like you're putting a piece of yourself into the violin while playing it. That's really tricky to do for those of us who program synthesizers.
from my tapes from 2009 it is part of three tapes digitized ... :) the high resolution is here

I put most of the audio tapes on video too.. and uploaded…
I like this sort of thing - it reminds me of what you hear on shortwave in an empty spot where there are no voices. You get atmospherics and other artifacts from technological devices. At times it can almost sound musical.
This one's mostly MIDI clips in the Superior Drummer 3 and EZKeys plugins in Reaper. I fumbled along on my new MIDI keyboard controller to add the bass part using a sound from SampleTank. Pretty happy with it except for the abrupt end of the last…
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
I'm digging this - you get the levels perfect. I like how the instrumentation slowly builds up over the course of the song.
(It's nice being able to see the audio visually now when the song plays - it gives me a better sense of what the optimal levels are for music should be.)
I'm liking what I'm hearing of this album so far. It sounds like it would be at home as the backing track of an independent video game. The tracks are emotionally enigmatic. They definitely prompt me to be feeling 'something', but it's any clear emotion that I can assign a name to. (Sort of like that feeling you get during dreams. Is it happy? Sad? It's unknown, yet the dream still has some unique emotional fingerprint.)
I take it the hurried part in the middle is when the cat suddenly decided "I need to be somewhere else like RIGHT NOW", and scampered off at light speed.
A bit of fun - took some samples of Hillary Clinton coughing, Trump saying "Russia", TV media reporting, Bernie Sanders going "wooah woaah woaah" , and turned the whole lot into a rhythm..

I like this - it has the feel of something I would have heard in video arcades back in the 80s. It also captures the feeling of somebody being in a singular place spinning around and being able to capture 360 data about his/her surroundings, with the expected vertigo-inducing sensory overload.

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.

This is euphoria for the ears.
This is really good. The production is crisp and clear. The synthesizers call back to 70s prog.
It feels like you're putting a piece of yourself into the violin while playing it. That's really tricky to do for those of us who program synthesizers.
Digging the guitar solo around the 1:30 mark. Sweet.
I'm digging this - it brings a smile to my face. The synthesizers hit all the right spots. Reminds me a little of Ed Van Fleet/Synchestra.
This sounds like it would be at home in an Alfred Hitchcock movie or possibly a Twilight Zone episode.

This rocks. I like that subtle flanger around the two minute mark.
I like the jazzy elements to this one.

I'm really digging this one. The chorus paints a bleak picture.
Is this being played in 12 TET? I'm hearing notes and sounds one wouldn't normally hear. (And I'm liking it.)

The sound production here is off the charts. Dan Fogelberg comes to mind listening to this.
This is genius. I love the sampling.

Solid singing, and I like the lyrics. You can tell there was thought put into them.
I like that weird FM-style synthesizer around the 1:40 mark.
It has a very 70s/80s feeling vibe to it, and I mean that as the highest praise possible. I could genuinely have heard this on the radio in that era.
