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!
09 – Carry On Crying. Written and recorded on 12th/17th Feb.
A 5/4 romp starring Sid James and Hattie Jacques. Godley and Creme will direct the video.

This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying. Even though I cropped that part, I didn't use any noise reduction…
I like how you work the snare drums and bass in around the 1:30 mark. You scared the crap out of me, though.
I was standing in my bathroom wearing stereo headphones, and I thought my pipes had exploded or something.
This is well-assembled. The production is fantastic, as are the vocals. I like the atmospheric background sounds - it takes it up to the next level, IMHO.
First day back from the jungle in Central America, remixed this tune. Had to start off the new year in the U.S.A reminding myself that captivity will keep me returning to the jungle forever.
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

Fantastic production on this one.. Very immersive, and it makes good use of both the left and the right channel.
The only thing you may want to do is use noise reduction on the track to remove the background hiss.
Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax

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.

Okay - you have me dancing around my apartment like a complete dweeb. Hence, this is a good track.
This is incredible. The harmonies here are spot-on, and the production is pretty perfect.
Wow.. This really takes you somewhere else. The piano reminds me of Robert Miles.
The background dialogue is great. =)

Kind of hypnotic.. The voice has a droning effect - it works well with the song.
Nice.. This really reminds me of Vangelis.

This is catchy.. I like the way the percussion, breath instruments and vocals play off each other..
Great harmonization. You don't hear much of that anymore.
Very interesting. I think you're onto something here.. Some of the synth sounds remind me of ELP.
This is jaw-droppingly good. It's somewhere between Tangerine Dream/David Arkenstone-esque electronica and old school progressive rock.
This is pretty catchy. I like the horns.
I like what you do with the Brian Eno dialogue here - it fits right in to the music.
This flows nicely - lots of different elements that balance each other out well.

I'm a big fan of number stations - I like this trippy tribute.
Very haunting.. It paints a scene well.
Heh. This is clever. You could probably put a horror twist on it - any tree turned into an instrument would have to be cut into pieces first. =)
This is godly. What software did you use to make this?
