Chasing Ghosts - AMUC's album for the 2014 RPM Challenge -- FreeSound Source Info: 01_2441 kerrydan Ghost Story

This is a post-RPM version of this track. (I had gotten some feedback that it seemed incomplete, so I spent some time developing it.) I'm going to leave the original version of the track available, since it's interesting to compare how the…

I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.) Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

Outro track -- thematically inspired by 'On TV' from the Buggles, although it kind of goes in a different direction. (The little ditty at the very end adopted the nickname 'Sin Indication'.) Freesound samples used: 77265__corsica-s__kal…

Title track from AMUC's 2013 RPM album. Probably the closest thing to a 'rock' track we've done this year. 5/11/13 - Uploaded a better mastered version of it. I've been fiddling with the mix over the course of a few weeks. 5/13/13…

This started as something AMUC did for RPM 2007 - the problem was that at the time, it was really cool-sounding noise, but not a song. We sampled the original track, and came up with this little ditty from that. Freesound sample used…

More fun with samples. =) Freesound samples used: * 102159__ultrarob__candace-walla.mp3 * 17117__dcaudio__interior-walla-cafe-many-voices-mostly-female-faint-music.wav * 44931_digifishmusic_Solfege_Fa.wav * 44932_digifishmusic_Solfege_La…

The second part of In Orbit, it puts a different 'spin' on the confrontation from the first part. What if the opposing forces built themselves up instead of tearing themselves down? Perhaps that's the only way out of the infinite loop they've…

This one ties into the continuity from earlier tracks AMUC did previous RPM albums. (Livewire/Firecracker/The Clockwork Man) Two entities, one male and one female - engage in a neverending air battle. (Think two hawks circling one another…

Title says it all. It's a quickie instrumental.

The afterlife was a major theme on this year's RPM Challenge album. The lyrics come from the concept that ghosts aren't aware that they are deceased - they're kind of caught in this time bubble of sorts. If ghosts are oblivious that they…

Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples. It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks. Freesound…

This was the result of a lucid dream I had last year - the old Worcester Center mall [which has largely been torn down] used to have an arcade, and I dreamt I was at the arcade, and it was empty, but all the arcade cabinets still stood, and were…

Instrumental track -- imagine if Tool gave up being rock stars to program video game music for the Super Nintendo console.

Brief intro from AMUC's RPM 2013 album. It was a pain to record, but the vocals sounded pretty good, so it was worth it.

Part of The Kitchen Sink, AMUC's RPM 2012 album. If you like what you hear, you can also find the entire Kitchen Sink album as a playlist, with everything in the correct order.

Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC. I was planning to write a love song, but .. it didn't quite come out that way. 3/11/12 - I re-recorded the first verse with better-sounding vocals. I'm leaving the version on the RPM Jukebox…

Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC. Not sure what genre this would fit into: Experimental Corporate Gothic Steampunk Electro-folk? (Although, I guess the 'experimental' is sort of implied by the rest of the name.)
