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…

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.

“Unfinished-1” by Wilson Ng, written and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.
Outtake from the 2022 RPM Challenge Sessions. Meant to have lyrics but had writer's block and ran out of time. Remains an unfinished instrumental.
Man, where do you get your ideas from? Another excellent track! I simply have never gotten into this genre but you bring something decidedly different that gets my attention with nearly every track you drop.
About Diana's full "Tailwind" EP... what a wonderful piece of work. Her vocals are captivating and songwriting is solid. Left me looking forward to more.
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

Word. Been there, still go there at times. Great track and really like how you combined the acoustic with the electronica.
Reminds me a lot of late 80s 10,000 Maniacs.
I hope you keep putting out these great, thoughtful tunes for a long time to come. Excellent track!
Beautiful.
I can hear this going in a direction similar to "Fragile" era Yes. Nicely done.
This brings me back to R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." The strings building through the track is a very nice touch.
My ears are perking up at these tunes of yours, Matt. Lovin' that you don't hold back.
Nice work! Great feel and the lyrics are dead on point.
Man, where do you get your ideas from? Another excellent track! I simply have never gotten into this genre but you bring something decidedly different that gets my attention with nearly every track you drop.
Some of the guitar parts remind me of old Les Paul records. Nicely done.
Your stuff just keeps getting better and better. You take the listener to places others just aren't going to. Love it!
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
Nice tune! Great arrangement and fantastic production.
I like how this is just bordering on a reggae/ska vibe.
Nice early J.J. Cale vibe going on.
Nice! Kiddie hardcore-punk hybrid. Reminds me a bit of Old Skull out of Madison, WI in the 1980s but edgier.
I'm not typically into this type of music, but this held my interest and I really enjoyed it. Nice work!

Brought me back to 1975 and the opening of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
Wilsun does REM better than REM. Well crafted track.
