Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...
Frenetic fun.
Boring technical details:
I honestly can't remember much about it which to…
Alternate title: Gratuitous Love Scene
Just hacking around with these chords; added some stuff and before I knew it I had one of those bits of cheesy music that accompanies those gratuitous sex scenes...
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
This started as a simple piano piece from Osckilo, I took that as a beginning point and added the rest (synth, guitar, drums from Boss microBR), turning it into a prog-rock instrumental.

I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.
I think this song has grown on me in the last few
days. I'm diggin' it. I hope you all do too. I
wanted to hurry up and get the demo out for
Valentine's Day. Finished at 3:05am. Wha whoooo!
I need to…
Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.
My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.
:)
GluMMI makes me happy. This has such a great hook - the vocalisations are such a wonderful touch. Really works, guys.
damn i'm liking this man, this is good
hello e-bowed guitars, meet the didgeridoo and tabla!
I could get lost in this one all day, and the mix sounds even better in cans!
Yes! Very nice!
OOO, this is nice!
damn, this is touching. more of the same please!
aptly named. i love the 303 squelch. - @ahonoe
Lovely and ploppy!
I don't know what you've captured here, but it's out of this world powerful, emotive, and it digs deep. Wish I could fave it again.
This has a really good thud to it! Great synth sounds.
Okay, I'm inspired!
Wow, love the space in this and that meaty synth!
Very gratuitous, perfect.
Gives me images of someone gracefully falling up a very long flight or stairs.
Great forboding energy...another powerful track. You capture human insecurities and put them to cool beats.

Really digging this.
Just too good.
That's an awesome sound! Raised the bar for sure.
My heart melts.
Definitely like this direction.
Inspiring for sure.
Magic indeed. Awesome.
Bravo!
Hot anthemic goodness.
Progtronica! Yes!
Ever impressive.
Well done. Very retro cool.
Fun stuff. Love the banjo.
Awesome groove. Builds a little like that the theme tune from a Guy Ritchie film.
Crunchy!
Awesome; all you need now is a Barry White stand-in :-)
Groovus interruptus!
loving the dark groove
Really nice flow you've developed across your RPM tracks. Coming along very very nicely.
Holy crap. What a build. Beautiful and inspiring (makes me really glad that I've started playing guitar myself).
