The story behind this one is almost the same as "Swamp Thing," only this one spawned lyrics to boot.
Major props to Erika for her fabulous vocal!
Jon and I played the leads. I bookended the track and Jon did everything in between.
To end "Dark Side of the Moo," we return to the beginning of it in a way. This time around, we end on a more hopeful vibe than how it started.

I originally recorded this track to test out settings on my EHX Grand Canyon delay/echo/looper in 2020. In late 2021, I had Jasper Guitar Company, LLC do a custom build for me that was a combination of their Olam and Deja VuDoo models. I call…

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…

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…
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.

This one is pretty much your basic bad day. I mean hectic, frantic, crazy, pull-your-hair-out, everything’s going wrong, Junior puked in class and I crashed the car on the way to get him days. Really bad but survivable.
Make yourself the main…
Pleased with this orchestration and the Tina Arena arrangement of this iconic Kate Bush classic...have always loved it! Produced and performed by myself, except for the stunning vocal performance by Tina of course .....
(Original Song…
I've been a Kate fan for a long time and this is a fantastic cover. Enough faithfulness to the original, but the arrangement breathes some new life into it. Well done!
A simple folk style song based off the Velvet Underground's "New Age".
I was given the task to write a song quickly, by no less than a pretty girl I was talking to at the time. The influence is apparent, perhaps theft, but hopefully Dylanesque…
Version of "Auld Lang Syne" inspired by the arrangements from "Hard Times" by The Human League.
I originally recorded a version of this track for the 2016 RPM Holiday Challenge; but I revisited and re-recorded it on 12/15/2022 with new equipment…
Nice sonic textures throughout. The bridge brings an unexpected release to the tension that builds throughout the first section and it is repeated at the end. Brilliant!
I guess you can call this in 13/8 meter or alternating 7/8 - 6/8 - but I counted it as 7-3-3. Also this was another proof of concept with Abelton Live. Three guitar tracks in F# phrygian more than less.
Comments on Project X's stuff
Nice, clean production! Sweet vocals!! Really meaningful lyrics!
That church organ sounds awesome. Great production!
This rocks!
"Light of the world" Hebrew is a distant 2nd language but still familiar.
Let me pop a cold one this rocks all the way down to the boneee
The bass is so smooth on this one. Well done!
playful!
Surf Beach Pink Floyd.
Cool, a slight "Riders On The Storm" background feel. :)
Yup, we're grilling' up some nutria and kicking' back with something' cold :)
Great surf-rock double single! This one is groovy as heck.
Great surf-rock double single! This one reminds me of "Cecilia Ann."
Great stuff, love a good surf track!
All cool cajun and down with it!
I kept expecting a vocalist...
You really capture the sadness...
I enjoyed it, a floydish mellow tune. Leaves a trace of light.
Nice tribute
frickin' cows with lasers!
sometimes good things can come from bad things Pretty cool piece dig the guitarwork here very much enjoyed KC

Hope yours was a happy Hanukkah!
Nicely done. Tasteful mix of Spanish and ambient genres.
I'm really enjoying this track. Going down nice and easy with my coffee this morning.
Wow... I was surprised by the direction this moved. Just what I needed after a busy day. Well done.
Fun!

Chag Pesach Sameach! Nice track. I can see this being a go to when I need to just sit back and breathe.
Praying for your grandmother. Another great track. Keep serving 'em up!
Indoor Voices rocks! Love the hardcore reggae thing going on in this.
Nice, contemplative piece. Great chill out music.
Encouragement through music. Thank you for reminding me of hope.
Very Dylanesque. Nice!
Perfect for contemplative moments.
Definitely has that Human League vibe. Back to the mid 80s!
Texture-mania! I hear more prog influences than just Floyd which is pretty cool.
Nice sonic textures throughout. The bridge brings an unexpected release to the tension that builds throughout the first section and it is repeated at the end. Brilliant!
It marinated well. Very thoughtful piece with plenty of tension and release. Well executed.
Reminds me of 1968-69 Pink Floyd.
I think you caught Salamanca's personality with this. What he did to Howard... yikes!
So dang good!
