7/18/08 - Both "Spring Is Nowhere To Be Found" and "Wake From Your Electric Sleep" are posted. I may still fine-tune both a little further. (The latter transitional piece - I wish a legit guitarist could do the end part justice. I am so very NOT a guitar player.)
The final track from Dead In The Water should be posted soon as well. I'm just trying to fine-tune one of the drum parts and blend in the vocals more seamlessly. (Did I mention I'm NOT a vocalist either?)
6/15/08 I posted the next track -- "The Desert Is Just Dessert". I really like how this one came out. I also modified "And The Damned Demanded", but I'm still not fully happy with it - I may modify another thirty-seven times or so. Note: After this, there are just three more tracks to post from this album - I'm hoping to polish it off by mid-July. (Two tracks are long, but well-developed. One is a brief transition piece.)
5/26/08 "And The Damned Demanded" has been posted. I could probably tweak the levels until I'm blue in the face, but I'm so desensitized to this track by now, that I figured it's best that I just upload it already. (Any feedback is appreciated - this one admittedly was a challenge for me.)
5/11/08 I'm fine-tuning a track called "And The Damned Demanded" - it's a bit out of my range of ability, so this might take another week or two. In the mean-time, I fixed the levels on Baptism. I thought they were a smidgen too low.
4/10/08 Wardrobe Malfunction has been uploaded. (I'll let that one speak for itself..)
3/9/08 The final two pieces of the Format Sea suite are uploaded:
III Jellyfish (It Wavers)
IV Wetware Eject
I had been doing the RPM Challenge in February of 2008. The goal is to create an entire album in one month. The end results are surprisingly good. I may post some of that stuff later, after I've posted Dead In The Water in its entirety.
1/13/08 The 10+ minute single Baptism (Format Sea) is available for download on Soundclick now. It just barely squeaked by under Soundclick's maximum file size. I put it at the top of the page, but if you want to get the 'concept piece' in the right order, listen to Dead In The Water first.
1/1/08 The 7+ minute single Dead In The Water has been uploaded for free download. I'll keep adding the tracks from the full album as I finish mastering them. You can help me by keeping an ear out for clipping and other artifacts. I think I got most of it, but after hearing the same song about fifty times in one day, you start to get a little desensitized to it [not to mention a little deaf, and quite a bit neurotic as well.]

Alternate Modes Of Underwater Consciousness is the pet name for all my electronic experimentation. It's basically me doing weird things with synthesizers, with a variety of results.
Why this name?
It came from notebook scribblings.
Do you play live?
I'd love to play at live venues, but the cord to my computer won't reach far enough.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes more music available to people. It offers a nice alternative to the one-dimensionality of commercial radio. (One hopes it will kill off the larger record labels with time as well. The RIAA is a bane to human existence that must be eradicated off the face of the globe.)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'd prefer a niche label myself. Although, I'm happy giving my music away online for nothing as I hone my craft.
Band History:
I began mucking around with synthesized sound around 1997 or so. It started with fractal music and brainwave entrainment soundscapes, and gradually progressed from there into programmed music. The keyboard playing came later, and me attempting to add vocals is something very, very recent. (I still have a long way to go on the latter!)
Your influences?
I grew up listening to progressive metal, which [indirectly] influences me. Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery, Cairo, Andromeda, The Gathering, Symphony X, Green Carnation, Ayreon, Pain Of Salvation, Unexpect, To-Mera.
Favorite spot?
Worcester, MA. It's the devil I know, at least.
Equipment used:
I typically use Adobe Audition, a bunch of fractal generators, some real-time keyboard-playing, and Buzz. (Buzz is a poor man's modular musical synthesis program. It's a little buggy, but still very potent, provided you save your work frequently, and have ample four letter words available to use when it crashes.)
Anything else...?
All the music here is freely downloadable. So, help yourselves to the MP3s. If you want to use them in podcasts, online radio, videos, and other low-budget broadcasting, be my guest.
