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.

.. only words will remain when the $h!t hits the fan.
It was a quote from an older song I wrote [Terrestrial Epitaph In Shortwave], and I felt the need to develop it further here.
It amazes me how much free advice there is out there etched…

This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying. Even though I cropped that part, I didn't use any noise reduction…
I like how you work the snare drums and bass in around the 1:30 mark. You scared the crap out of me, though.
I was standing in my bathroom wearing stereo headphones, and I thought my pipes had exploded or something.
This is well-assembled. The production is fantastic, as are the vocals. I like the atmospheric background sounds - it takes it up to the next level, IMHO.
First day back from the jungle in Central America, remixed this tune. Had to start off the new year in the U.S.A reminding myself that captivity will keep me returning to the jungle forever.
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"
You can see my 2007 album [here](http://alonetone.com/sudara…
Fantastic production on this one.. Very immersive, and it makes good use of both the left and the right channel.
The only thing you may want to do is use noise reduction on the track to remove the background hiss.
Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax
This is a song I wrote with Lisa Purdy (who sings the harmony vocal) about the experience of depression. Jim Bouchard plays lap steel - I'm playing/singing the rest.
This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…

Awesome synth! Nice!

Just listened to the whole thing. Terrific album. Great job this year!

Great work on the album. It took me places that I didn't expect, and which I greatly enjoyed being taken to. Serious congratulations are in order.
interesting trip
I really like this... outstanding job :)
Nice!
fascinating to listen to. took me off somewhere that
love the sounds ur getting..
Fantastic!
yes this is neat neat stuff ,, much enjoyed.
nice!!
Awesome track -- The opening blew me away
I really like this, so decompose and minimalistic...blended seamlessly.
Great textures - love your enigmatic sound!
Thanks for the feedback on this one - I'm rewriting it, though. I thought it came out sort of rough around the edges.

The background dialogue is great. =)

Kind of hypnotic.. The voice has a droning effect - it works well with the song.
Nice.. This really reminds me of Vangelis.

This is catchy.. I like the way the percussion, breath instruments and vocals play off each other..
Great harmonization. You don't hear much of that anymore.
Very interesting. I think you're onto something here.. Some of the synth sounds remind me of ELP.
This is jaw-droppingly good. It's somewhere between Tangerine Dream/David Arkenstone-esque electronica and old school progressive rock.
This is pretty catchy. I like the horns.
I like what you do with the Brian Eno dialogue here - it fits right in to the music.
This flows nicely - lots of different elements that balance each other out well.

I'm a big fan of number stations - I like this trippy tribute.
Very haunting.. It paints a scene well.
Heh. This is clever. You could probably put a horror twist on it - any tree turned into an instrument would have to be cut into pieces first. =)
This is godly. What software did you use to make this?
(ROFL) I'm jealous. This actually sounds good. (Was that one of the requirements of the 24 hour challenge? Oops - missed that one.)
This is really catchy. I like the dueling vocals at work here.
Nice piano -- very catchy.
