Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..
Compare to "Firecracker" and "Livewire" from RPM 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Interesting,saw you hit on one of my tunes but hearing this I think you'd find Awakenings and Morning Prayer a better suit.These two songs and I have a few more are unrehearsed unplanned and totally spontanious, from one single improvised session. I know it's rough and primitive however it was picked right out of the cosmos
Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.
This initially had started out as my attempt to do a basic electronica track - I sort of failed miserably at this. (Like most music I program, it ultimately begins to sound like 'not electronica' by the end, for better or worse.)
The re-recording…
One part Guy Richie, one part Cirque du Soleil, the rest a trip down a gypsy campsite.
Played by me almost all acoustically (the only MIDI track was the bass) on my banjo, detuned guitar, recorder, and violin, along with various percussion items.
This album is pretty good - lyrically, it's top-notch. The mix may need a little-tweaking, particularly the vocals -- they may need to drawn out a bit more.
This song has hints of Prince in the intro but then quickly moves into a funky, dynamic groove with changes, breaks, fills, set ups and riffs that make it hard to sit still and listen. Positive lyrics enhance the experience.
From Soulganic's…
This is an electro-acoustic piece realized at Eric Siegel Productions ("where everything is a big production"). The electronics were composed, realized, and recorded by Eric Siegel, and the musicians playing are Dave Douglas on Trumpet, Gerry…
Very solid 24 hour challenge album..
There's some serious genre-channel surfing going on here, but you can still sit and listen to it seamlessly from beginning to end.
This is very moshable. =)
Okay, all kidding aside - I like how it develops around the fifty second mark, as the instrumentation kicks in. The vocals could probably stand to be dialed down a little bit in the mix. They're a little piercing in places. (The higher frequency ranges are kind of like hot pepper - a little goes a long way.)
While I think the mastering needs some reworking, I hear a ton of potential here.
You wouldn't happen to have the separated tracks for this song, per chance? It's the sort of thing I'd love to tinker with. (I couldn't guarantee it would still sound like a rock track when I was finished, though.)
After much deliberation with the voices in my head, I've decided that I like this stuff.
The genre-splicing going on here creates some interesting results.
I'm still trying to decide whether I like it or not, but it definitely gets your attention.
It sounds like as if Bob Marley were to collaborate with the Future Sounds Of London on the soundtrack for a sci-fi/horror movie..
This sounds like a Nintendo console trying really hard to console somebody who had a bad day.
I like it - it's very relaxing, but with a lo-fi sort of twist.
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.

Brilliantly pieced together. Awesome track!
Whoa love how this starts
Cool, great prog rock track, I like extended works.
Wow! Thanks to Tess for pointing this one out. Great piece of work! Mix sounds really good in cans
An 8 minute adventure - just great! Love the traditional folk flavours in your melody.
I always wanted to do something that sounded like this. Sounds awesome!

really dig the textures in this one, nice work.
Cool atmospherics
Neat, interesting in places, love the concept of perpetual change.
What a bloody good mix , i love it
sooo dope love the melody changes
very clever.
Hahaha wicked!!
Some freaky moments
Gentle and soothing, like the odd weird noises too, cool.
Nice off beat feel to this, quite haunting and strange. Like it.
I know that fence. Liking these beckoning beats!
This track does it for me , totally excellent , love the percussion , love everything
Very nicely produced track , dripping with so many tasty sounds , love it

There's something oddly meditative about this.

Heck yeah! I like uplifting songs like this. (maniacal laugh)
This is really catchy - I like the subtle use of vocoding you throw in there..
Okay - this is catchy. I love it when voices unexpectedly suckerpunch you from either the left or right channel.
I like the enigmatic melodies you're using here.
This mini-album is nice - it's the sort of thing I would listen to while drifting off to sleep.
This soundscape feels like it's drilling its way into your head. The left-right separations do weird things to the brain.
I like how this one starts off sort of unstructured, and then gradually builds from there. It has kind of a New Age-Chinese/Jazz hybrid vibe to it.

Very calming, but also unsettling at the same time. It has a very sad vibe to it.

Interesting - it sounds like a lounge jazz band of the damned. Really creepy atmosphere to it..

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.
