It's kind of funny how you can intend to create electronica, and then end up blindly wandering into a different sub-genre. The end result almost sounds like it wanted to be stoner rock. For more on the song title, look up "Ganzfeld Effect…

This was based on a flying dream I had months ago. (Actually, more like a crashing dream, since while I was able to pilot myself into the heavens, I guess I forgot to turn off gravity.) The fellow described appeared in the dream, casting…

This RPM Challenge album had a bit of a ying-yang vibe to it. Compare "Marbles" to "Constellations" and "Fisher In The Sky" to "Tied By The Lies". This wasn't planned - it just sort of happened.

.. only words will remain when the $h!t hits the fan. It was a quote from an older song I wrote [Terrestrial Epitaph In Shortwave], and I felt the need to develop it further here. It amazes me how much free advice there is out there etched…

Alternate name: The Post-Mortem Pitchman We live in an age nowadays where a celebrity can endorse a product or service long after they meet with the proverbial reaper. Has anybody bothered to ask the dead guy if he wants to endorse half…

This is a redo of "I've Made Myself A Wall", from the 2009 24 hour challenge on Alonetone. I thought the original version was a little bland, so I wanted to take a stab at breathing some fresh life into it. For my last RPM Challenge album…

This was based off "After Nothing" by Synaptic Disturbance. It was from their 2009 RPM Challenge album entitled "Aplysia Californica" He had put the root tracks up for remix, and this is what I came up with -- as an experiment, I purposely made…

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets]. A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

If "Jenny Blue" is the closer, and "Shrinking Violet" is the outro, then this is the postlude to the outro. The only track I played in real-time on from beginning to end. (No idea how I managed to pull that off..)

"Jenny Blue" was originally supposed to be the album closer, but this track seemed like a nice outro. (Definitely Tangerine Dream worship on my part.)

Title track from my RPM 2010 album, entitled "The Loudest Silence".

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month. It's basically about working the night shift on an office job. (You see really weird things at night when an office building is empty and quiet…

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language". This one ties into the theme from 2009's RPM Challenge Album. (Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets).

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

RPM 2010 track. Opener for "The Loudest Silence" album. Full songname is "Of Bad Sectors In The Human Mind".

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track. I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…

Toughest thing to mix on the entire album. Synthesizer music for the attention-impaired. If you don't like the current melody, wait five seconds. Song name comes from my workplace addiction - I was going through a bag of cough drops weekly…

The last track from my RPM Challenge album, "The Loudest Silence". The story is loosely based on something I read, but there's a lot of poetic interpretation involved. It deals with people who spend a lot of time staring at the stars - like the…

This is probably the least electronic-sounding of everything that I did from RPM 2010, although it still heavily uses samples (either self-sampled or from Freesound). That is me playing the harmonica, though. (No, really!) If the song makes…
