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

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.

This sounds very crisp through headphones, and I like how you have the different instruments spread between the left and right channels. I'm also digging the quirky melodic sequences. (Are you using quartertones?)
Really catchy! I'm impressed with the sound production, although it admittedly doesn't sound '1969' to me - it has more of a January 1970 sort of feel.
I was fooling around with studiofactory for a while and discovered "random noise" making elements. I recorded a few tracks of that with different parameters and mixed them into a track. There was a pink noise oscillator going into a sine wave…
I'm listening to this, and it feels like a genuine album, rather than simply a collection of individual songs. I like how the songs seem to flow into each other, and create this grander atmosphere.
Synths are meant to represent the fast beating heart of the technological city, with its busy trains and industrious people. The breathing is life, and the cheerful keyboard is supposed to be the fun and excitement of life in a city with a flourishing…
1) Be a complementary force to the alignment that they call the change of leadership.
2) Use attraction, alignment and avoidance and extended this with a number of traits.
I'm digging this - I like kind of the freeform improvised nature of it. The sort of thing that would make for interesting dreams if it came through on the speakers while I was sleeping.

Awesome synth! Nice!

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

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.
I'm digging this (actually the album as a whole). This particular track has a Winter Brothers kind of vibe to it.
Poor, poor bear. At least didn't die in vain, because this track rocks.
I have a feeling this is what they would play in the self-replicating robot factory to try and increase production.

I'm liking the melody played by the flute-like synthesizer. It feels like it goes counter to the rest of the melody, but in a good way.
Really catchy! I'm impressed with the sound production, although it admittedly doesn't sound '1969' to me - it has more of a January 1970 sort of feel.
I like this for some strange reason. It's like R2D2 is malfunctioning in some filibustery sort of way.

I like this - it's a real foot-stomper. The vocalist also really holds up her end of things. She carries the lyrics well.
I like the crunchy drums here. This sounds very professionally mastered - all the instruments jump right out at you in the mix.
I'm getting a Jean Michel Jarre vibe from this. I like the synthesizer voices you chose.
One thing I'm digging about this album is while each song has its own unique identity, it still feels like it's part of a greater cohesive whole.
I'm liking this one. It's a nice hybrid of electronically-generated music with some real instrumentation thrown in. The whole album I've been digging.
I love long-play tracks like this that just go in all sorts of unexpected directions.

Thanks - this is what I needed to chill a bit after a particularly stressful day.
I like the compound time signature in the vocal melody. It's catchy, and makes me want to bob my head along to the music.
