This was just a twisted and warped little extra I threw on to "The Dark Side of the Moo." Another remix because the original was not the greatest.
Some people will sit down at a piano and duet on "Heart and Soul." In our high school and college…

My wife used to have a Paint horse named Dandee. When I originally recorded the song, we both said it gave us a picture in our heads of Dandee running along a beach.
Originally recorded in February, 2019 for the RPM Challenge album, "The Dark…

Excess intense, eye-watering energy I didn't know what to do with then did. This. Overpowered turned into a music slap.

A new twist on an old favorite (or two!).
During Wisconsin's shut down orders, I have been involved with a Facebook group called Jump Around Wisconsin. For those who don't know, between the third and fourth quarters at Wisconsin Badgers football…

I love surf music complete with Fender guitars dripping in lots of spring reverb. This one came out of the clear blue and somehow developed the double-naught spy thing in the process.
Matt plays lead. He's got the surf thing down pat!

A track over twenty years in the making. I came up with it sitting in front of the TV with an unplugged borrowed Rickenbacker 360 (thanks, Mark). The Santana vibe just happened. I made a four track cassette recording of it just to get it down…

Swamp Thing is a custom built guitar by Tony Louscher at Luthier's Workshop in Green Bay, WI. I wrote the main riff three years ago and it sounded "swampy" to me. For the 2020 RPM Challenge, I dusted off the little riff and created this tune…

Conceived in the shower in mid February with the backing track fully recorded less than an hour later. Who doesn't like the Ramones?! Just a fun track to celebrate RPM's 15th anniversary. The lyrics lean toward being tongue-in-cheek. I don't hole…

From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…

This is my RPM 2021 piece. This is my exploration of orchestral instruments, blended with rock instrumentation.

Just a delicate little instrumental. Took my time getting it right, because, well, there was nowhere to be that day. Or any day after that. Or any day after that...

Originally recorded for my 2019 RPM Challenge album, "The Dark Side of the Moo." This is how I cry musically.
I added some verbs, an additional minor organ line, tweaked the bass, and remixed it on 09.05.20.

Project X is simply about making music for the pleasure of making music. It’s about playing and experimenting, working the writing and recording processes and seeing what happens as a result.
Project X’s first release, “The Dark Side of the Moo,” was completed as part of the 2019 RPM Challenge and released in early March of that year. It’s an eclectic instrumental mix of rock n’ roll sub-genres like progressive, surf, British Invasion, 1960s soul, alternative, and power pop.
Project X returns with the new album, “Are You Sure You’re Not Where You Are?” Born on February 28, 2020, it too was produced as part of the 2020 RPM Challenge. “Are You Sure…” is another kaleidoscope of rock n’ roll styles, this time featuring blues, latino, punk, ballad, and even a bit of exotica alongside surf, progressive, and pop. Regardless of the diverse styles, “Are You Sure…” is a cohesive album and shows marked growth.
