There's something about my speakers that love your tracks! It must be a mixture of the production, ambiance, percussion (when applicable), mic position and mostly the performance! Great work!
If the synth intro doesn't do anything for you, just wait about two minutes for the main part of the song to start.

A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
An ambient anthemic piece.
The process:
- Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad.
- add camelphat and camelspace
- add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff
- record a single take accompanying the…
Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.
Three years ago, I brought my two youngest up to the summit of a local mountain (actually, we went up Shelving Rock Mountain, but that song wouldn't be as good). Have a listen to see how that hike went.
I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos.
I have…

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Smooth and clean playing! Great job to the lot of you!
Very ethereal... sounds like something that could have been on one of my Narada collections.
@ Hardrick the bass sound is the fretless bass software instrument in Logic express. Pretty cool huh?
ok. I know you like create great sounds with instruments, but: HOW DID YOU MADE THE SOUND OF THIS BASS?... I need to know!!!!!!!!!! Great track :)
Excellent picking here. I'm green with envy. ER
Love the affects you used on this. Nice study in echo and reverb. ER
great rpm effort!
nice texture.
a little lindsay buckingham some stephen stills .really cool

Wow, thanks! :-) This is an amazing recording!
Nice fingerstyle there Kavin, both intricate and relaxing at the same time. Very technical work, I bow to you sir ;)
Great pickin'! Nice flow all through this piece. I love a good acoustic slide, you just don't get to hear it often enough out there
Nice laidback RPM album... wish I had been a bit more chilled instead of illed :)

Lulls you with the rain sample and ambient gtr then hits you over the head with that killer take no prisoners riff!
@ GFox, ER, et al Aw shux, thanks.
Wow. It's been too long. Great song.
Very cool! Yes, Stones-ish but "happier" than most of their stuff. Nice slide part too.
Yay! Let's hear it for apps. Like this a lot.
Good jammin'!
Pretty darn cool.
Disturbing. Funny. Inventive. Sometimes all at once.
Great pickin'. Hearing this alternate with chimps8myears is jarring, but in a good way!
Very nice laid back acoustic songwriter album. Makes me wanna do something like this next year RPM.
Great southern rock feel on this 'un.
Agree with Kirk, this is great. Must pull out my copy of Koyanisqatsi and watch it again.
Very cool, this.
I was going to give you some positive feedback on this track, but looks like you already got some! :>D
Definitely going on my best of RPM10 mix cd.

This is a fun album! Almost makes me wish we still had a little one (not..). This track in particular evokes Eno.
Yawl did good on this, I love WG. Thanks for the link!
Sounds straight outta 1965! Love it!
oooo good album but I have a weakness for instrumentals like this.
