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!
"Dagger's Blade" from the RPM Challenge Album "Dearly Beloved" by the band Doll Butcher. A blend of rock and electronic music, this song is about the introvert's struggle.
"Deal Breaker" from the RPM Challenge Album "Dearly Beloved" by the band Doll Butcher. A blend of rock, metal and electronic music, this song is a father's perspective during a military attack in which he realizes his family will become refugees.
Hanging on my closet, I have a sticker for Narraganset beer and a mock-road-sign reading "Dystopia" with an arrow pointing both directions. The juxtaposition was unintentional, but I decided I liked it.
The Dystopia name works here. It sounds like the sort of song that would play the first day after the end of the world in some eight bit chip-tune reality. It's kind of bittersweet.
Modern Language is Lucid Optics on rhymes and Museum on production. This song is from the Ok Txt Me EP. Read more here: http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/new-music/modern-language-ok-txt-me
The second part of the new album "Space".
The songs are:
Barrel of a Gun
Afterlife
Somewhere South
The Walking Dead
Thanks for listening. More to come . . .
I'm digging whatever song it is that's playing around six minute mark here. I like the way the melody flutters around unexpectedly. It would be nice if the album was divided up song by song. (Easier to navigate that way.)
I like the minimalism of this. You do a lot with a very simple synthesizer. This is the sort of thing I could envision playing over a shortwave radio in the middle of the night, announcing the commencement of a number station or something.
This is the sort of thing that I would set on a time delay to begin playing while I'm already asleep. I could see it subtly interacting with my dreams and sending them in interesting directions.
This is fantastic - the lyrics are thought out very well and interweave nicely with the synthesizers. You're totally right - it has an 80s vibe to it. (Maybe late 80s / early 90s.)

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.

I remember Circles -- this is a nice 'slight return' of the melody from it.
I'm blown away by the sound production here. (And the vocals are pretty darn good as well.)
This is one of my favorites off the album. The lyrics are colorful.
I'm digging this album - just the little morsel-sized audio capsule of 'wake-up' that I needed.
I'm digging the instrumentation on this one - it's very lush. You really get sucked right into it.
I'm digging this - it's catchy. It has an 'Arabian Nights' sort of vibe to it.
Catchy little ditty. I'm digging the vocals. The album art? Is that a reference to The Quiet Earth? That was the first thing that came to mind.
The Dystopia name works here. It sounds like the sort of song that would play the first day after the end of the world in some eight bit chip-tune reality. It's kind of bittersweet.
I like melodic twists and turns this one takes. It has an off-kilter/unsettling sort of atmosphere to it.
This has a nice crunch to it. The sound production on it is top notch as well (and louder rock is not easy to mix at all.)
Ha - naturally a song like this comes on when I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to replace the blinds on my window. The lyrics fit the task perfectly.
Nice - reminds me of Black Sabbath or Count Raven.
This is fantastic -- I like the interplay between the rapping and the sung choruses.
I really liked this one. Very relaxing - it helped me to unwind.

I'm digging some of the sound effects you're making here. Was that an FFT-style synthesizer you were using at the very beginning?

Ha! A swimming pool of espresso sounds really good right about now. =)
