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…
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…

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!

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?

Different! Me likes different! The intro is strong but when the drums come in, they're non produced. If there's Bass, it's hard to tell. more bottom and big on the drums working together on that riff I think, would sound awesome. Vocal levels are not consistent. Great vocal though, I'm a fan!

Not sure what genre this would fit into:
Experimental Corporate Gothic Steampunk Electro-folk? (Although, I guess the 'experimental' is sort of implied by the rest of the name.)

I was planning to write a love song, but .. it didn't quite come out that way.
3/11/12 - I re-recorded the first verse with better-sounding vocals. I'm leaving the version on the RPM Jukebox…

It started out as a tribute to the old sci-fi movie, "The Quiet Earth", and became something else.

I picked this because I wrote an electronica song named ether a few years back. I love the synth textures you have used here, and that noise and the ethereal sounds really add a sense of mystery. Cool track!
Okay - I'm glad that I'm organizing my comic book collection, and have myself trapped in a corner of my apartment to the point where I can't get to my computer to shut off the Alonetone feed, because I'm hearing some really awesome stuff tonight over multiple genres, including this one with a mellow electronic vibe.
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.

MiniMoog? Great!

Yes , i do like what i hear , everything and including the kitchen sink
Love it, Michael!!
Sorry, I just left a message with no name. Best of luck, Dave T.

:) Production sounds good, clean!!
Nice one very cool.
I re-recorded Proteus [I] to try and get the levels better. How does it sound now? Any feedback would be appreciated.
the more i listen to ur stuff, the more I like!!
hypnotic
Really love your sound on this tune
what kind of keyboard are you using? wicked guitar
Killer Synths & vocals....really nicely done. love the arps
Freaky!! and totally wicked.
Cool and sci-fi creepy
Great ambiance and tones here. I love the kaleidoscope of sounds.

This is really catchy -- I like the groovy bass line and guitar-playing.
That's nice.. It almost makes me want to rush out and get Reaktor. Any chance of a VST version of it someday?

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 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.
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..
