Upon the completion of the 2020 RPM Challenge, I was never comfortable with the vocal Perry (or was that Singh? Igor?) did on "Blues for Bob." One RPM artist that stood out to me this year was RTO because I heard especially strong vocals in a…read more

Her Favorite Song [remix]

Project X

So Nancy says to me, "You need to bring out that one part more after the first melody line in the last chorus." (She really didn't say it like that, but you get the idea.) At first I thought about adding dulcimer and fiddle to the mix (being part…read more

Compression: A Wilsun Tribute

Letter Seventeen

I love Wilsun's 2020 RPM album "Departure", so I decided to cover it (yes, the whole album), but with a twist. I found some bits to be repetitive, so I removed them. I wrote down the lyrics and chords, and promptly ignored the originals, making…read more

Live & Let Surf (or "007 Hangs Ten")

Project X

3:50

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!

Swamp Thing

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…read more

Is it surf music? Exotica? Both? Neither? Did Jacques Cousteau have anything to do with this? Percussion on this one by Cyclops Cow and Sum Gai.

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.

PX’s first release, “The Dark Side of the Moo,” was completed as part of the 2019 RPM Challenge and released in early March. 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.
