Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.

MMI, I just listened to your album straight through and I'm impressed! I was transported, not questioning, just floating through the ice caves shimmering.
this is the music that probably played in my head when I was a child as I dared to stare into the SUN for as long as I could before blinking. Then, I'd blink, close my eyes and stare at the pink wall of skin set aglow, letting my mind wander up into the firmament.
Excellent!!!
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
This started as a simple piano piece from Osckilo, I took that as a beginning point and added the rest (synth, guitar, drums from Boss microBR), turning it into a prog-rock instrumental.

I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.
I think this song has grown on me in the last few
days. I'm diggin' it. I hope you all do too. I
wanted to hurry up and get the demo out for
Valentine's Day. Finished at 3:05am. Wha whoooo!
I need to…
Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.
My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

Comments on mmi's stuff
so do you think brian eno heard too much olympic music?? i'm digging these tracks and i completely missed the figure skating.
Wild tune great to listen to while i'm slidding along in calm waters fishing.
Listening to this again... I'm reminded of some of the better tracks by Tangerine Dream. Wonderful!
Beautiful. I like the guitar part. Ha! The reversed guitar swells are a pretty cool touch.
Really really good album. Proof you don't have to be loud to be interesting.
I am really loving this album, it's a blissfully shimmertastic!
Gorgeous!
Nice work :)
Lovely melody, very relaxing.
S'lovely. Painfully so.
Am halfway through your album. It's beautiful. It's like a massage. You're a great friend to me, and a superb sonic masseuse.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn... I must get a copy of that Pink Floyd album if for nothing else at least for a high dose of inspiration.
Lovely, sweet music. I'm proud my photo is on the cover. Hope your album will do well! Good luck. Robin
I can tell this is gonna be good stuff already, right up my geetar alley.
This is brilliant!
That's nice.. It almost makes me want to rush out and get Reaktor. Any chance of a VST version of it someday?
Or perhaps this is the music aliens play while they dissect humans. ;) ****added to favourites****
this also qualifies as appropriate music to dissect an extra terrestrial to.

Really digging this.
Just too good.
That's an awesome sound! Raised the bar for sure.
My heart melts.
Definitely like this direction.
Inspiring for sure.
Magic indeed. Awesome.
Bravo!
Hot anthemic goodness.
Progtronica! Yes!
Ever impressive.
Well done. Very retro cool.
Fun stuff. Love the banjo.
Awesome groove. Builds a little like that the theme tune from a Guy Ritchie film.
Crunchy!
Awesome; all you need now is a Barry White stand-in :-)
Groovus interruptus!
loving the dark groove
Really nice flow you've developed across your RPM tracks. Coming along very very nicely.
Holy crap. What a build. Beautiful and inspiring (makes me really glad that I've started playing guitar myself).
