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.
This appeals to my inner geek. (Okay, maybe not so inner..)
It's like if you took Aesop Rock, and put him into a B-rated sci-fi movie or an Atari video game.
This song was created by [Bilian](http://foreshadows.net/musicians/bilian) and is track 5 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero. This song inspired a story of the same name, written by [Joe Rixman](http://foreshadows.net…
Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
Yeah - you can tell there is some microtonal hijinx going on here. It's definitely in something other than the Western 12 note even temperament.
While it sounds a little alien, there is an odd charm to it. My brain on some level acknowledges there are harmonic/melodic relationships going on here.
This is a track from the second Luna Trick CD, Hoar Frost Sheen. For the religious among us, it is not an anti-christian song - it simply rails against church crimes and a history of religion-inspired hatred. Let me know what you think. Thanks…
I like the second layer of almost ethereal vocals that kind of do acoustic acrobatics with the left and right channels. It adds another layer to the folk song.
This is really nice stuff - very atmospheric. It reminds me of Tangerine Dream or Jean-Michel Jarre.
(I remember CoolEdit. Great application - without it, we never would have seen Adobe Audition.)
After defeating the Denebians, humans credit their all-knowning Multivac computer for the victory. But inside the computer, what do the humans tasked with feeding information into it do when given unreliable information? The sound of a flipped…
I'm liking what I've heard of this album so far. It has an early Tangerine Dream sort of vibe to it. You couldn't possibly pick a better subject material to base the songs on.
Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…
I like the little time-signature shifts and genre channel-surfing you do here. It's easy to tell that you really enjoyed making this - it shows in the results.
Wow. This album improves greatly from beginning to end - the last few tracks are fantastic. I like how you veer towards more electronica on some tracks, while other tracks have an almost Evanescence sort of vibe to them.
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.

This rocks - I'm hearing a strong New Order/Depeche Mode vibe to this.
I really like the clarity of the percussion here - everything sounds as clear as a pin dropping.
Wow. Just wow.
I like the layered streamed&strummed guitars here. The two play well off each other. The stereo effects create a sense of space and depth.
The mix sounds absolutely perfect in every way. I am soooooo jealous.

I'm really impressed with the mastering on your RPM 2012 album. It sounds very professional. Every instrument sounds crisp and clear.
I like the genre-blending going on here - it creates a very unique end result.

[ROFL] The dangers of trying to write music during girl scout cookie season. I'm more of a Tagalong fan myself. =)
I'm in shock that this is your RPM Challenge album. The whole thing sounds very professional - the vocals/songwriting/mastering. It's all good.

Love the vocals here -- they have a Celtic-vibe to them.
Nice! I love the synths at the very beginning. I was working on something else on my computer, and they completely grabbed my attention.

I'm digging the high sustained notes in the chorus. (Wow.)
I like how you juxtapose the electronic and more loud rock elements here.
