Album: How the Aviator Sees the Rainbow
Year: RPM Challenge 2008
Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…
Love it! Absolutely brilliant song! This haunted me for most of last year - but I'm VERY happy to hear it again...even if I can already feel the hook penetrating my poor defenseless soul.
nice ambient music. I'm fascinated by the randomness... iare these random notes played by you or randomly triggered through some modulation software? Either way, great stuff.
I'm working on a March RPM... it is "record per month" after all, is it not? So, this month I plan to expand on some ideas with glubotic... I hope to make the album a full hour.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee

both cold cos it was rainin hard.

An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.

This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…

I'm enjoying your work!
Hot squishy (gluey?) goodness. The modulation (at around 0:50) caught me off-balance. Nice surprise.
