Although I've been blogging daily about my progress with this year's RPM, I've been playing my cards close to the vest in terms of actually sharing the works in progress. I'm especially excited about how this track is coming together, though…

The first of three tracks in this year's "Winter Sketches" EP. As preparation for my concept for this year's RPM Challenge, ALL SOUNDS were produced on an iPhone. The apps used for this song include Argon, Funkbox, Beatmaker, Filtatron and NESynth.

My 5-year-old daughter has asked me to make music for her to have playing in her room as she falls asleep. So, I'm working on a new album of ambient and downtempo electronica called "Sleep." Here's a work-in-progress mix of the first track.

A nine-minute meditation piece. Gear: Roland JX-3P, Korg Monotron, acoustic guitar, soprano & alto recorders, bamboo flute, and junk percussion samples.

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!) This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace. Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

THIS IS NOT part of rpmchallenge, this is just a teaser. teehee
