love the reznor, i was influenced by him for the ending of "Suzie and Fred." you might like my other electronic stuff, "Mercury Blues" and/or "Neptune Blues." it's different 'cause i avoid the 4/4, knowwhatimean?
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the RPM Challenge.
So the screwing around I do today should be either tossed or posted to avoid the temptation of using it in my RPM album...
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.

whohoo! bagpipes?
great Canadian electronica, i'll play your music on my show for sure, www.thenewspin.ca
This is crazy good. I want to describe it as "angular melody". Does that make sense?
this is a really cool track.
great sounding track- love the percussion bits
very cool.
EXCELLENT!
Makes me visualize swimming in peanut butter. Despite that probably unintended imagery, I like it!
sticky beats!
LOVED this track, MMI. It's one of my favorites of yours.
Sweet. Love the authentic airport charm :)
beautiful! can't wait to hear the rest of the record.
Love it- Super nice cut
I love the guitars on this. Great flow as always
Nice grooves! Love the organ sound and the counter-melodies.
Very nice music

Any analog gear involved in this? The beat is gorgeous and oh so simple!

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).
