The smooth fusion of dream pop and shoegaze is always something I welcome and a goal that is always in sight in the case of this song by Sounds of Sputnik - perhaps this is what is meant by the term nugaze - somewhat of a reshaping of the heavier dirtier shoegaze sounds dating back to the early 1990s a la My Bloody Valentine and Medicine. This reminds of of some of Kevin Shields' lighter work that he's done for various soundtracks.
How do you see it?
The Mission
Space rock is a term that is often over-used for various psychrock tunes, but it is dead on for this track from Sounds of Sputnik. Or space post-rock or even space post-rock shoegaze. Looking forward to your take on that.
Song For Cyn
Sometimes you write something, and then forget you've written it, and then find it again while cleaning your computer. [more inside]
Ambiguous Sense of the Future
Post-rock always seems embedded with the sense that something is dire; however, shake it up a bit to get a kind of post-rock indie shoegaze vinaigrette and Sounds of Sputnik is likely what you would come up with. This is Ambiguous Sense of the Future.
Titry
"Titry" translates into English as "credits", as in for a film. It was inspired by the idea that this would make a great intro or outro song for the listing of film credits, whether or not we actually decided to pitch the song for that purpose. Maybe we will one day :)
Adaptation
Soundscapes are part of the fabric for various genres of music and this song creates one merging several genres, yet is still hard to put your finger on.
J.S. Bach
Inspired by the great man himself - J.S. Bach - this song presents a modern interpretation, stemming into interpretation, of this great piece. By Ummagma [more inside]
1+1=3
The shoegaze scene is really abuzz this year with so much good music out there, the new MBV album and Medicine's reunion. This song vibes in this same department - it's an instrumental with lots of reverb. What do you think of this track?
Together and Apart
Here I attempted to make a piece that tells a kind of story. I'm pretty pleased with this one, though it definitely sounds at its best played through actual speakers. If you're listening to this on a laptop or through headphones it's a bit anodyne. [more inside]
Dan Fogleborg
Short, jazzy instrumental song. Just two parts that felt right together. The song is named after the final chord. And STTNG. [more inside]

Past Lives: I. Where's Judi? II. Bitch Vicki III. Getting Past Nobody
Dorkton Arby's
So I was reviewing my song posting history and realized most of my stuff is kind grim. Thought it would be fun to try something a little happier. [more inside]

A semi-instrumental song given a second life after a decade in the demo wilderness. [more inside]

Just some instrumental rock I've had kicking around for awhile. Not much to it.

Practicing writing with legato patches on LASS. A sappy cue for a nostalgiac movie scene. [more inside]

White Fire/Black Fire
Chip tunes + samples instrumental for fun. [more inside]
Nail-Eyed Totems
I've always liked how for a time, rather than having something play over the PA, Sepultura had their own intro that they stood in the dark playing as the lights came up. I think of this as my own intro and have been using it to pump myself up for various onerous tasks today.
Lucky
another stab at the July/Aug challenge. [more inside]
Bushy Tails
Short, fun and bouncy, melodic, dancelike-although-odd-metered, all electronic instrumental. Sort of like a lobotomized Dream Theatre interpreted via Kitsune2 would be one way of putting it. [more inside]
Summer Flu
This is a instrumental Hip-Hop song made with ableton live. It is part of a mixtape that can be listened to and downloaded at .
Dione
Electronic instrumental, 80's style arpeggio, loud bass and an extremely simple melody. [more inside]
may09
just a instrumental thing I did while trying out some new software.
Can I Register Online Please?
This started as a little tune I made up a couple years when I was trying to register for classes at my community college using their online system which wasn't working. All the parts on this track were recorded by me using my friend Ian's microKORG XL.
Do The Rumble
Tried my hand at pulpy instrumental rock. [more inside]

Focus Grasshoppers
I've been trying to write a new track every day. This is today's effort: an attempt at cheesy synth instrumentals. [more inside]
Beach House
An instrumental on an electric guitar tuned BABBBB. Features bowed electric guitar, as well. Was listening to a lot of the band Beach House at the time.
Troll's Theme Song
Originally titled Möbius Madness, this recursive ditty has been repurposed for the January Challenge. Truncated from its original length of 26 minutes to meet the 10MB size restriction, Troll's Theme Song is meant to demoralize the listener; it may cause confusion, insanity, and bleeding of the ears.

Neon Night Drive
Life can be more like a video game if you take everyday scenarios and add a silly soundtrack (SYTL)
this is why
More of a slow-building groove than a "song."
Probably recorded about 10 years ago, I honestly can't remember. [more inside]
Free Refills 2011
A slower reworking of a track I made in the late 90s when I was the beat maker for a hip hop group. The song never got made. [more inside]
Steel Dub
OK we're gonna do this. My old shit. [more inside]
a strange and mysterious adventure
This instrumental track was originally named "Em wrong" because it came out of absentmindedly playing my guitar while watching tv and accidentally strumming an E minor chord incorrectly on the 3rd fret. The resulting song has an uneasy, mysterious vibe. [more inside]
Man Was Created (And Quite Frankly, Some of Us Are a Little Embarrassed by the Concept)
Recorded live in 2004 by my high school garage band (though we were in my living room [better acoustics] for this take). I'm on the drums. Sound quality is courtesy of my drum teacher and his equipment. Instrumental. (Hear that pause during the chorus? Yeah, MY IDEA).
(Download for best quality) [more inside]
Police Action!
A riffy instrumental I recorded a long time ago on a cassette 4-track.
Middle of the Road
A little pop/rock instrumental. I'll probably get around to doing a version with vocals someday.
Phantom West - Intercept
Electronic. A bit dancey. An exercise in using an arpeggiator for the bass line and gradual build-up over the course of the track.
Implications
A concise instrumental fantasy. [more inside]
