Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
After a long summer of doing stuff other than recording it was time to get back on the horse.
Sonically, this isn't much of a departure but I am trying a couple of new things technically.

Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)

Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…
Sometime yesterday, sandbags posted "In the Ocean of Night".
Fuelled by a lovely walk and some pints, I was inspired to make some additions.

Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
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.

sounds great!
Very nice laid back track. Good idea with the mono recording.
Nice one, m. Drums are my A heel too, working on that. I like the beats and mix here.
Cool tune.
Dreamy, mysterious sounds. Gotta hear the rest of the album now.
Nice collab. Very cool sounds flowing around in it.
Wow! Stunning sounds! A sonic swimming pool
See, you are an Astronaut, you are a Creative Sound professor, Your record is produced, and we'll see about the Gold Medal.
Great collab guys. Really enjoyed the serenity and thank you for the about comments. I find it very interesting to know how things are constructed
cool stuff
Spacewalk! Beautiful track, guys! Lovely synergy.
Fantastic complement to the original track!

ohh, chill-out time!
Like this one george! .... sounds like inside the evolution of a seed from earth to air... dark to light!.... good vibes for the brain!!
Just got around to listening to this and I think your mojo is intact because it's really lovely.
Quite lovely!

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).
