This is our submission for the 2022 RPM challenge, compose and record an album in the month of February. When we signed up, we chose "World Music" and "Field Recording" for our style of music, not really sure how that would influence our project. We had fun doing this, hope you enjoy it.
This is really great. Anybody clicking on this must listen all the way through. Massive.
When I was five, my mother gave me a little stuffed animal, a hippo, and though I tried I could not think of a name for him, so I called him Nothing. Nothing the hippopotamus. I was in the yard playing with Nothing when I made up the Nothing song, and I sang it all day. This February is the first time I have recorded it. my mother would love that.
Hello, my name is Dave. I live in New Hampshire, in America, I am not a musician but I always thought it would be fun to be one. I spent most of my life working on peoples houses and recently decided to become an oil painter for my next career. I went to art school back in the 70’s so I kind of have a feel for it, not like with the music thing. A couple of times a month I get together with my friend Bill and we jam on pianos, he is much better at not being a musician than I am and together we are the Avant Yarde. In all fairness, I have been playing guitar since I was 16, that was a hundred years ago and I am still not very good. I love composition and engineering, all the different sounds a synth can make. I have fallen in love with computerized recording, Still struggling to figure it all out, no tape. Thanks to my old pal Don Sharp for leaving me all his hippie boxes for processing sound, his Theremin, and of course, the little drum kit.
