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!
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
Another track from Deranged Lunaticks - this one actually ended up getting recorded first back in the early "oughts" It's been dusted off and spruced-up.

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

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.

The production is really solid on this. I like how you can hear all the different instruments clearly in the mix.
One can tell you were really in the moment when you did this one. It's very serene.
I like the vocals on this one -- I like the vocals transition between the louder parts and the more mellow sections.
I'm liking this - the synthesizers drew me in. The vocals remind me a little bit of Roine Stolt from the Flower Kings.
This one just brings a smile to my face, which isn't an easy accomplishment. I love the lyrics.
The production is off the charts. It's like needle pin drop clear. I'm impressed you were able to do this in a single month.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
I like the melodic progressions of this. The colorful 'Arpy' synthesizers have an Ed Van Fleet feel to them.
This is beautiful. The production is absolutely flawless. It kind of has a David Arkenstone sort of vibe to it.
I like this. Very 80s. I'm hearing Wall of Voodoo and the Cars influences.
Top-notch playing. I'm impressed. (I wish I could play half as good as that.)
Intriguing voice -- kind of sounds like if Prince was jamming with the Black Crowes.
Nice!! I remember finishing this game when I had the Chicken Pox and was out of school for a full week. It has a great soundtrack.
I love that playful synthesizer you use on this (the lower one). This track has a nice groove to it.
I like the quirkiness of this one -- it reminds me a little bit of Dead Or Alive from the 80s.
I like the overall groove of this song -- I like how it builds up out of the minimalist vocals on the previous track. You have a pretty good voice.
Wow - very tight mix.
Fantastic sound production. I like how you can clearly hear the bass in the mix.
This has all the makings of a SyFi Channel holiday special. "Attack Of The Snow-Zombies" [Attack Of The Snowbies? Znowbies?]
This is serious nightmare fuel right here. I could envision it being used as a background soundscape for a horror movie. I mean that in a good way. =)
