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!
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.
MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is really catchy - the mix may need a little fine-tuning in places, but it's pretty good. (Louder rock is admittedly a pain in the neck to master.)
You have the mix damn near perfect here. The one thing it seems to be crying out for is lyrics. I instinctively want to sing something over the beat - it lends itself to that.
Unlike a lot of instrumental music I hear, this sounds very cathartic. It sounds like it's tapping into something, and channeling it out in the form of music. It held my attention for the full seven minutes..
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
This is my cover of 'Lady Killigrew'. This song was originally done by Sister Savage, and Bethan Mathis, and can be found on either of their alonetone pages. I highly recommend their version. They sing prettier... probably look prettier too…
This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It reminded me of early Leonard Cohen so I took it in that direction with the finger picking and spookiness
I like the atmosphere you create here - there's something about this track that draws people to want to cover it. (I think it's the lyrics - they're really good.)
Heck, we could probably do an entire album of different people covering this one Gumbo track.
I like the textures of the guitar here - it reminds me of Criss Oliva's playing at its most mellow. (Criss had been the guitarist from Savatage, but was killed in a car accident about 15 years ago.)
This album is pure genius -- it's all over the place, but the different elements flow into each other, and form a nice tapestry.
Works for well for those of us with chronic ADD.
This was the second track for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny. It was written and recorded in an hour and a half in the middle of the night. Also the first time I ever played keyboards of any sort and there was no time…

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.

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.
This is haunting. I think you blend the music, voice, and percussion together perfectly.

This one flows nicely. It reminds me of Synchestra a little bit.
(ROFL) You've improved on perfection. =)
Heh. You kind of put a sailor's spin on the original. I could picture this being played by pirates travelling the seven seas.
Submersive. The perfect headphone track. This one has earned a home on my iPod.

This whole album is nice. (A Sarod On The Ocean Of Raga) It's good for meditation/relaxation. I have it playing now.

This is interesting. It's very fractal-sounding. It reminds me of an old fractal generator I used to play with called F-Prot.
I wish I could play guitar like that (or at all, for that matter.)
Mike Tyson's Punchout! Ha! It took me about a minute to catch the reference.
Heck yeah - now this is what I like. (starting moshpit)
I like all the different elements you're mixing together here. The way you incorporate the vocals into the mix is perfect.
