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.
My first track as Black Bear Black Sheep and my entry for this year's RPM Challenge
It's not perfect but there was a lot of love put into this track and I'm happy that I'll get to share that love
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…
RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…
This is a 42 minute track for sleeping or relaxing. It's a combination of 12 string guitar, mandolin, synthesizers, and even some Elven speech. Thank you for checking this out.
UnCaged: 33'4'' - it's a piece we've recently recorded for the French label, Camembert Électrique, to be released on a compilation called "Silence" in early December. It was John Cage whose 4'33'' cleverly demonstrated the near impossibility of…
I like the some of the melodic changeups that take place over the course of the song. The vocals lined up to the hammering drumbeat are also well-executed.
When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
Duet piece recorded between a Eurorack modular synthesizer I built and a Behringer Model D (minimoog clone). Tons of reverb and delay for added effect.
Millions of years ago... Before the dawn of history... I was a in a school band. I couldn't play an instrument then so I was the vocalist. This tune was one of the band's originals.
Now, bear in mind this was the 'Ay-deees' so it was mullets…
Comments on AMUC's stuff
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!

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!

You definitely capture the Donkey Kong Country vibe with this. (Now I want to go back and play that.)
This one has a nice flow to it, both instrumentally and lyrically.
Nice. I'm getting a strong Kevin Moore / Chroma Key vibe from this.
This is great. Getting Paul McCartney vibes from this. The sort of ditty you can teach little kids to sing.
This is fantastic. I have it playing while I'm doing my remote work, and I'm ready to fall asleep on the keyboard.
Digging this pair of songs. Very mellow and well-produced.
I'm curious what would happen if you slowed this down with Paulstretch..
This feels like the soundtrack for yet-to-be-made sci-fi movie. With claymation aliens.
I like the some of the melodic changeups that take place over the course of the song. The vocals lined up to the hammering drumbeat are also well-executed.
Just the right length for my limited attention span - Squirrel! (darting away)
The stereo image is awesome. Sounds great through headphones.
This is one of those tracks that just lets you close your eyes and go somewhere else.
I'm getting a Laurie Anderson feeling from the vocals.
I'm digging this - just what I need when I'm processing work for my job.
I love the sound of hardware synthesizers.
This is absolutely awesome. Complicated piece. Just heard it on the RPM Challenge listening feed.
Digging this - the synthesizers take you somewhere else.
You can tell this was very cathartic to create. I like the vocals.
I'm digging the synthesizers here and their playful melodies.
I like how the tone of the song changes midway through.
