My grandmother used to cook 'pastiche' for supper, which was basically all the leftovers that she wanted to use up. It all went in the pan.
The name seems applicable here, since I just kept throwing musical spaghetti at the ceiling until something…

Sorry to hear it affected you that way. The mood of the album is definitely impacted by the season. February in New England can be a little gray and cold. The album does have some tracks with a little more pep in the form of instrumentals.

The track name was sort of stream of consciousness. I was dabbling with words that fit the feeling/theme of the music, and that sequence had a nice flow to it.

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..

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.

Comments on AMUC's stuff
loving that bass excellent track got me in the first 4 bars
I'd love an extended mix of this one!
i really enjoy this song, i think it is my favourite of the playlist
Definitely sticky.
Bubble & Squeak? 🥰 I wonder, how long was the ‘beating into sonic submission’ process? I like your pastiche, thank you for sharing.
Wow, good ♥️
Cool! ... Loving the Sounds!!
congrats with this album...really well done!
great piece! Love the art as well (great Rorschach image in the back). This is very cool stuff you're doing
Very cool! What a feeling you create (and I love the premiss!)
Coffee machine, cuddly toy, uhh.. uhh.. fondue set..
Oh nice!!
Cool! .. Awesome 2023 RPM Challenge Album!

Re: These recent uploads… If I wasn’t back at the suicidal ideation phase yesterday.. i am today.. Except, suicide isn’t really an option. Is it?
Clever work!
I got up to 63 tracks with plug-ins. Then my DVD/CD caught fire. I don't know why. I wasn't using it. :)
The track name was sort of stream of consciousness. I was dabbling with words that fit the feeling/theme of the music, and that sequence had a nice flow to it.
I'm curious as to how you arrived at the title for this track? Intrigueing... 🙂
very creative!!

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.
