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…
There are too many amazing quotes from this film to not sample them SOMEWHERE in my album. Time after time, the 'yo-yo master' line got me laughing, so I thought I'd pay homage to it.
One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."
hey cdb, thanks for listening and for your positive comments. I like the feel of what you've got coming here. It's raw, real. I dig that.
Keep rocking forward.

I'd be lying if I said this entire track wasn't sparked by the opening audio clip. It really made me think about the ways some people create their own enjoyment. Cool.
Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…
Cool slow theme, I can hear you spitting the lyrics through clenched teeth... the chaos-chorus does what you wanted, turns up the adrenaline... final spoken part is chilling. Hate to imagine what this has done to your life and blacksmith practice, ugh! Good musical therapy!
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…

Well I woke in a cold sweat from a dreamless sleep
The winds were blowing papers through the empty…
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…

T... 'twas good to hear from you. Surprising...your attention deposits bright little gems into the arms and hearts of the universe.. a beautiful rendition, thank you.
Good work Robin. After the one-minute mark the flow especially works nicely. I really like how you cut up and manipulate that synth riff around 1:30, and I agree with you that putting it where it is provides a welcome change from the epic 80's sound

This is going to sounds really dumb, but your music manages to be gentle and aggressive at the same time. ::wow::
Intriguing title - very cool track.

Lots of experimentation :) Is that a foot volume pedal or are you just twiddling the volume knob? Are you using a tape echo?
