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!
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?
Freesound samples used…
Vocals performed by 2 year old Mo.
Music later added by glu, who produced this track as a brilliant surprise. We absolutely love it!
Melody based on 'Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.
Nice - musically, it sounds like the love child of Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield.
Album release date 2199? I'm honored to be able to hear something that isn't supposed to exist for at least another two centuries.
Although, time travel is a very messy business - I hope you didn't corrupt the space-time continuum too badly migrating this album from the future to present day.
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.

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.

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.
[ROFL] This rocks. The wee one sings much better than many of the diva pop stars in existence.

Trippy as all heck. I like it. =)
