i like your sound.
is this from your RPM album?
im soon to put my album here. the sound in the circuit bent song you listened to is a toydog thing from fisher price. i would love to get my hands on a speak and spell. but they are hard to find here in europe.
another one i always play on the guitar, inspired by Nick Drake's stuff; half way through this song goes into unknown guitar improvisational territory, where i just played over my own stuff after looping it
that is not a sample you hear in the background, it is the dryer going. leave it in? okay, sure i'll leave it in. it's these artistic decisions we're all forced to make.
I literally pulled this out of my ass in a few minutes. The lyrics just poured out of me once i decided to sing about myself. Very autobiographical, also inspired by polka music. i love polka music!
I can hear the eastern European influence (of course), but it also has a kind of melancholy, French feel to me. Very nice - I love the contrast between the title and the lyrics!
this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him?
i usually play this on guitar, but for the RPM Challenge, i wanted to do it electronically…

didn't know what to call this track, but once i came up with a title, it wrote itself! i heard on npr about how all this junk of ours is making outerspace around Earth a very dangerous place to be. this track is trying to reflect that danger.
it is a journey filled with repetition. some of the soundscape is a reminder of tangerine dream. there is beauty and fear hidden between the notes. it is well architected music. thank you for listening to my music, and pointing me to yours.

Thanks for the tip - I'll let our vocallist know! I'm just the lowly synth player.
Really liking your stuff, by the way. You've got a great offbeat gentle thing going on there!

I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
This song has been hobbling around half-written in my psyche for eons, and it took the RPM Challenge to finally finish it!
Like many of my generation, my first peek into the world of women (and what they looked like under their clothes) was National…
This piece is my original almost-fugue-sounding arrangement of my favorite Ukranian “Christmas Carol”, Carol of the Bells, as if J.S. Bach had written it. Ingredients: Warmth, depth, complexity, eternal romance. Dedicated to my Belle. This was…
Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
The lyrics were co-written with Mike Novak. I sent him the music, and we worked from there. I've done that a bunch with friends from Canada (Me Man Jack - check them out) and its fun to collaborate..
"In a reformatted world with deleted people, there are still enough dead links that some individuals might indirectly be aware of the existence of those deleted. To everybody else, they'd seem either spiritual and/or mentally imbalanced…
with the manipulated concertina/accordion and the harpsichord and synths, i was going to try and describe this, but i think you say it best in the about section.
Even the cosmos needs system maintenance. When its IT department decides to delete something, sometimes that something doesn't want to go without a fight. Even computer viruses will do what they can to avoid the reaping hand of a virus checker…
Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw.
We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)
The monitors of the omniverse are bored out of their mind, and wish something would happen to break the monotony.
There are some things that transcend the laws of physics - Murphy's Law is one of those things.

Hurtling towards oblivion thanks to a giant catapult owned by a foul-mouthed voodoo child, he sends a final lewd finger gesture back to the world he sought escape from.
Unbeknownst to him, Voodoo Boy may have a vested interest in using him…
The final version of this track:
When escaping events that are falling apart, be leery of strangers offering gifts - particularly when they look like something out of Children Of The Corn and they offer to lob you into orbit with a giant catapult…

I'm usually not a fan of long songs, but this is probably my favorite on your album. Melodic, interesting and varied - a nice surprise!
Nice piece - beautiful guitar.
I can hear the eastern European influence (of course), but it also has a kind of melancholy, French feel to me. Very nice - I love the contrast between the title and the lyrics!
Great lyrics - reminds me Robyn Hitchcock (no higher praise)!
Great work man. Nice vocals on this one, tasteful track. Also love Neptune blues -AEB
this is cool
Is the rhythm coming from the Clothes Dryer? is has an interesting regular vs. intermittent feel to it.
it is a journey filled with repetition. some of the soundscape is a reminder of tangerine dream. there is beauty and fear hidden between the notes. it is well architected music. thank you for listening to my music, and pointing me to yours. -hakucho
folked up? nnice tim
Another great track! Keep 'em coming!

Oh this is cool! Very poignant, and polka.
Nice lyrics... :)

that's COOL.
whoah, this sounds just like the cardigans' gran turismo
great stuff, was looking forward to this album.
great stuff, was looking forward to this.
let's hear it for the little guys! you guys're some prolific.
great vibe on this one
digging the electronics on this
love this one
can't get enough of BPS
are you using a $10,000 sample library to do this, or...the quality of the instruments are...well, you know.
you're a great composer.
thanks for the song, my 5 yr. old girl just asked me what "fuck" means.
this is hilarious.
i like your songs a lot, good indie Americana.
with the manipulated concertina/accordion and the harpsichord and synths, i was going to try and describe this, but i think you say it best in the about section.
i'm supposed to go practice guitar, but i can't stop listening to this album. it's captivating.
i love that patch you're using, it's sublime, you know, the gurgly one.
the way you juxtapose your half-sung/half-spoken vocals with such original music is uncanny and quite an accomplishment.
love that exotic lead rhythm, that could've kept going, and the beats...reminds me of my own stuff :)
AMUC, you're right on my wavelength: bizarre, original, intriguing, crazy out there...speak to me o strange one.
