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…
cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excellent sounds and instruments mix; all the cultures of this planet in 3 minutes, perfect to send on a interplanetary voyage

We live in an age nowadays where a celebrity can endorse a product or service long after they meet with the proverbial reaper.
Has anybody bothered to ask the dead guy if he wants to endorse half…
Also, I definitely recommend checking out the Gormenghast novels if you have some time on your hands. They could be described as "fantasy novels", set in a medieval castle lost to time... but they have a Kafka-esque sense of the absurd and a sort of social commentary perhaps informed by the search for meaning after the horrors of World War II.
That part at the beginning reminds me of my friend who is an excellent saxophonist. In our college bands he had a few parts that were wild like that and really threw himself into them.
I'm really enjoying the album. You make great sounds, and melodies out of them! Congrats on another RPM finished!
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.
Trademark dreamy, alluring sounds from AMUC. Excellent album, guys! Every track sounds like a cityscape from underwater - sometimes edgy, sometimes sunny, but always cool, refreshing and totally original.

Really enjoyed this - not my usual kind of thing at all, but there's something in it that grabbed my attention. I'll check some more of your stuff out.

It's said that we're neurologically set to be the happiest as children - everything is at its most vibrant when we're young, and every experience is new.
As adults, a lot of that vibrance is lost, but just as autumn comes around with all its…
This RPM Challenge album had a bit of a ying-yang vibe to it. Compare "Marbles" to "Constellations" and "Fisher In The Sky" to "Tied By The Lies".
This wasn't planned - it just sort of happened.
It's kind of funny how you can intend to create electronica, and then end up blindly wandering into a different sub-genre. The end result almost sounds like it wanted to be stoner rock.
For more on the song title, look up "Ganzfeld Effect…

This is probably the least electronic-sounding of everything that I did from RPM 2010, although it still heavily uses samples (either self-sampled or from Freesound).
That is me playing the harmonica, though. (No, really!)
If the song makes…
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.
Okay - I'm glad that I'm organizing my comic book collection, and have myself trapped in a corner of my apartment to the point where I can't get to my computer to shut off the Alonetone feed, because I'm hearing some really awesome stuff tonight over multiple genres, including this one with a mellow electronic vibe.
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.

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
cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excellent sounds and instruments mix; all the cultures of this planet in 3 minutes, perfect to send on a interplanetary voyage
Awesome synth! Nice!

This is really catchy -- I like the groovy bass line and guitar-playing.
That's nice.. It almost makes me want to rush out and get Reaktor. Any chance of a VST version of it someday?

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..
