Finally got around to connecting several electronic items on my side desk - Kawai R-50e drum machine from around 1995, Fostex X-18 4-track tape recorder from a couple of years earlier than that (I think), a Korg volca keys from 2021, and a handful…

Last-minute effort at the end of a busy, busy month. Recorded the drums at the studio on 6/17, then added MIDI piano parts (taken from the EZ Keys library, not my own fingers!) and live bass just before the REM Challenge deadline for June. Whew!

Another last-minute electronic goof, thrown together using a couple of Hainbach plugins and a couple of LABS instruments.

Last minute DAW goof using Superior Drummer and LABS.

Alternate version using LABS instruments.

Last-minute electronic doodad I threw together with three instruments from the free Tyrell N6 synth plugin. I mostly just wanted to try to maintain momentum from February's RPM Challenge and walk through the REM completion process.

Same as the previous track, with the addition of a drum machine run through some effects pedals.

Trial run after rearranging some electronic doodads on my side desk, most notably the pictured Drone Stack and HypnoDrone from Kaiser Electrical Instruments in lovely Duluth, MN. Recorded at the end of a rare week-long ice event in north Alabama.

RPM CHALLENGE 2024. WEST I’m always walking backwards looking forwards Dragged back to the past You think i’ve got nothing left but for loving you But babe thats not all I do I dream when I am not…

Song 6 for my 2024 RPM challenge. Got the guitar and bass out for this one. It's a song with a lot of dissonance and so is kind of weird. But here it is anyways. Definitely not for everyone's ears. Anything, anything you say… Anything…
