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!

A blatant attempt at exploiting the deep well of The Jesus and Mary Chain/Pixies/Raveonettes/House of Love. A lovingly loud, shiny and guitar-laden paean to those great bands.
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb.
Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…
02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb. Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb.
A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…
The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject for a dance-tune. Normally I wouldn't make a song about…
Here the idea was that I was going to write from the viewpoint of someone who is paralyzed from the neck down and can through technology only watch other peoples life but not participate. It turned out a bit more general and ambiguous than that.
Grew out of my frustration at having to sing, play all the instruments, and engineer my own recording...
Baby, Would You Be My Engineer?:
Baby, would you be my engineer
and keep my headphones sounding clear?
I desperately need someone…
love the reznor, i was influenced by him for the ending of "Suzie and Fred." you might like my other electronic stuff, "Mercury Blues" and/or "Neptune Blues." it's different 'cause i avoid the 4/4, knowwhatimean?

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.

Another great track! Keep 'em coming!

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