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!
My first track as Black Bear Black Sheep and my entry for this year's RPM Challenge
It's not perfect but there was a lot of love put into this track and I'm happy that I'll get to share that love
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…
RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…
This is a 42 minute track for sleeping or relaxing. It's a combination of 12 string guitar, mandolin, synthesizers, and even some Elven speech. Thank you for checking this out.
UnCaged: 33'4'' - it's a piece we've recently recorded for the French label, Camembert Électrique, to be released on a compilation called "Silence" in early December. It was John Cage whose 4'33'' cleverly demonstrated the near impossibility of…
I like the some of the melodic changeups that take place over the course of the song. The vocals lined up to the hammering drumbeat are also well-executed.
When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
Duet piece recorded between a Eurorack modular synthesizer I built and a Behringer Model D (minimoog clone). Tons of reverb and delay for added effect.
Millions of years ago... Before the dawn of history... I was a in a school band. I couldn't play an instrument then so I was the vocalist. This tune was one of the band's originals.
Now, bear in mind this was the 'Ay-deees' so it was mullets…

Awesome
MiniMoog? Great!
Cool moods here, great development and scoring.

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.

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.

You definitely capture the Donkey Kong Country vibe with this. (Now I want to go back and play that.)
This one has a nice flow to it, both instrumentally and lyrically.
Nice. I'm getting a strong Kevin Moore / Chroma Key vibe from this.
This is great. Getting Paul McCartney vibes from this. The sort of ditty you can teach little kids to sing.
This is fantastic. I have it playing while I'm doing my remote work, and I'm ready to fall asleep on the keyboard.
Digging this pair of songs. Very mellow and well-produced.
I'm curious what would happen if you slowed this down with Paulstretch..
This feels like the soundtrack for yet-to-be-made sci-fi movie. With claymation aliens.
I like the some of the melodic changeups that take place over the course of the song. The vocals lined up to the hammering drumbeat are also well-executed.
Just the right length for my limited attention span - Squirrel! (darting away)
The stereo image is awesome. Sounds great through headphones.
This is one of those tracks that just lets you close your eyes and go somewhere else.
I'm getting a Laurie Anderson feeling from the vocals.
I'm digging this - just what I need when I'm processing work for my job.
I love the sound of hardware synthesizers.
This is absolutely awesome. Complicated piece. Just heard it on the RPM Challenge listening feed.
Digging this - the synthesizers take you somewhere else.
You can tell this was very cathartic to create. I like the vocals.
I'm digging the synthesizers here and their playful melodies.
I like how the tone of the song changes midway through.
