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.

It was a quote from an older song I wrote [Terrestrial Epitaph In Shortwave], and I felt the need to develop it further here.

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..
All samples courtesy of the NoAgenda podcast…
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.

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.

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