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…
Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…
It feels like you're putting a piece of yourself into the violin while playing it. That's really tricky to do for those of us who program synthesizers.
from my tapes from 2009 it is part of three tapes digitized ... :) the high resolution is here

I put most of the audio tapes on video too.. and uploaded…
I like this sort of thing - it reminds me of what you hear on shortwave in an empty spot where there are no voices. You get atmospherics and other artifacts from technological devices. At times it can almost sound musical.
This one's mostly MIDI clips in the Superior Drummer 3 and EZKeys plugins in Reaper. I fumbled along on my new MIDI keyboard controller to add the bass part using a sound from SampleTank. Pretty happy with it except for the abrupt end of the last…
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
I'm digging this - you get the levels perfect. I like how the instrumentation slowly builds up over the course of the song.
(It's nice being able to see the audio visually now when the song plays - it gives me a better sense of what the optimal levels are for music should be.)
I'm liking what I'm hearing of this album so far. It sounds like it would be at home as the backing track of an independent video game. The tracks are emotionally enigmatic. They definitely prompt me to be feeling 'something', but it's any clear emotion that I can assign a name to. (Sort of like that feeling you get during dreams. Is it happy? Sad? It's unknown, yet the dream still has some unique emotional fingerprint.)
I take it the hurried part in the middle is when the cat suddenly decided "I need to be somewhere else like RIGHT NOW", and scampered off at light speed.
A bit of fun - took some samples of Hillary Clinton coughing, Trump saying "Russia", TV media reporting, Bernie Sanders going "wooah woaah woaah" , and turned the whole lot into a rhythm..

I like this - it has the feel of something I would have heard in video arcades back in the 80s. It also captures the feeling of somebody being in a singular place spinning around and being able to capture 360 data about his/her surroundings, with the expected vertigo-inducing sensory overload.

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

This is euphoria for the ears.
This is really good. The production is crisp and clear. The synthesizers call back to 70s prog.

Digging the guitar solo around the 1:30 mark. Sweet.
I'm digging this - it brings a smile to my face. The synthesizers hit all the right spots. Reminds me a little of Ed Van Fleet/Synchestra.
This sounds like it would be at home in an Alfred Hitchcock movie or possibly a Twilight Zone episode.

This rocks. I like that subtle flanger around the two minute mark.
I like the jazzy elements to this one.

I'm really digging this one. The chorus paints a bleak picture.
Is this being played in 12 TET? I'm hearing notes and sounds one wouldn't normally hear. (And I'm liking it.)

The sound production here is off the charts. Dan Fogelberg comes to mind listening to this.
This is genius. I love the sampling.

Solid singing, and I like the lyrics. You can tell there was thought put into them.
I like that weird FM-style synthesizer around the 1:40 mark.
It has a very 70s/80s feeling vibe to it, and I mean that as the highest praise possible. I could genuinely have heard this on the radio in that era.
