Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC.
It started out as a tribute to the old sci-fi movie, "The Quiet Earth", and became something else.

Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC.
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…
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?

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.
"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.)
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Great start! Love that sound. A melodica?
What kind of synthage used here? I like it.
Dig it. Sounds like toy music. In a good way. Very atmospheric.
The title drew me in... It goes from a vibe that sounds like electronic 'Yes' and then takes on a Dylan-esque quality... Fun!
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.

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.

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. =)
