my contribution/offering to this years RPM...Does it ever happen that angels or devils perhaps walk among us mortals here on our earth?? Winter Nacht is a 11 act dialogue between two travelers who meet in the winter twilight, on a road in the…
Glad to finally be getting some listening in. I've been meaning to check out your RPM stuff this year, and I'm going to have to listen to this whole sequence/work in one sitting to get it all in. This is sounding marvelous, Richard.

Thanks to all for the comments, and thanks for listening. This is my favorite thing I've written in quite awhile. Not sure if it's in spite of or because of the pain that inspired it, but either way, it allowed me transcend the overwhelming depression to which I had awoken.
Now I don't know which song is Rotten Log. Probably the other one. Thanks anonymous commenter :). This is not from Prozac's one multitrack recording session as I had originally thought. What sounds like overdubbed guitars is simply psychic…

(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…
