The RPM Challenge - Alternate Modes of Underwater Conciousness

Alternate Modes of Underwater Conciousness Profile Page

About

Description:

Alternate Modes Of Underwater Consciousness is everything-but-the-kitchen-sink electronica. I have eclectic influences - everything from progressive metal to video game soundtracks to motion picture ambience. I throw it all in, and the end result is pretty unpredictable.

Group Members:

Lunarsight - Keyboards, programming, attempted vocals, windchimes, washboard, Hoover vacuum cleaner.

Irving Finkelstein - Even more programming, random sneezing and coughing fits, bad impersonations of Herbert Hoover.

Sid(s) (an army of pastel-colored bunny rabbits) - Random vocals, chattering, and helium-pitched cussfests.

Band Bio:	Alternate Modes Of Underwater Consciousness is the electronic experimentation of Lunarsight, and Irving Finkelstein, his imaginary Jewish friend. It is electronic music by people who don't feel like making electronic music.
Band Members & Instruments Played:	Lunarsight: Programming, Keyboards, Vocals/Lyrics, Conga Drums, (Attempted) Guitar Irving Finkelstein: Butter-Churner, Triangle, Sock Puppet Choir on Track #28, Colonoscopy orchestration on Track #74, Endless Coffee Runs, Endless Trips To Bathroom Caused By The Runs He Got From The Coffee From The Endless Coffee Runs Sids: Re-enactments of the Civil War, which usually break down, since they all will argue over who gets to be Jerry Lynn. (It's all but useless explaining to them that Jerry Lynn is a retired wrestler, and wasn't even remotely involved with the Civil War. Brightly-coloured stuffed bunnies just don't understand concepts like this.) Akmed: Guest vocals at the end of Track #12. An Inanimate Carbon Rod: Responsible for most of the really good vocal parts. ---- Additional credits: Freesound samples used: 46487__PhreaKsAccount__compactor2 21556__Pooleside__nnb02_maxed [not used yet] digifishmusic__Grandfather_Clock_digifish.mp3 44102__daveincamas__TenChimes 33210__HerbertBoland__RustyMusicbox 30340__junggle__water15 39900__aesqe__sea_water_churning_near_boat_01 18169__Jake_Williams__Footsteps_on_hard_floor_indoors 14102__adcbicycle__15 (dial turning on washing machine) 27217__ermine__dogs_061210_pettis_03 20219__modcam__water_pour_into_jar 48170__hy96__Thump 47828__DJ_Chronos__brush_step_5 47826__DJ_Chronos__brush_step_3 47824__DJ_Chronos__brush_step_1 33939__scarbelly25__Breathing 3981__plagasul__cadenas 44232__daveincamas__LayingDownChain 39635__Razz_Matazz__honda_versus_acela_train 42849__FreqMan__psycho_screams_3 21860_nofeedbak_distanthosproom 15813__tedthetrumpet__alarmclockbeeps 39923__dobroide__20070812.rooster 48370__gelo_papas__Clock_Tics_Contact 13613__hookhead__alarm_clock 47929__Corsica_S__alkex1 15288_Hell_s_Sound_Guy_FEMALE_GIGGLE 46120__Raymond67__05_I_Luv_You 43779__digifishmusic__Lapping_Waves_and_Sea_Gulls_2 34202__themfish__glass_house2 26722__Leady__women_singing ------------------------------------------ All tracks created using Jeskola Buzz & Adobe Audition. ----- Additional software used: (For Morse Code on #3 and #17) http://morsecode.scphillips.com/cgi-bin/morse.cgi (For Slicing&Dicing in #7) EVPMaker (http://www.stefanbion.de/evpmaker/) ----- Thanks to the Simpsons, for inspiration on one track.
