I tried to finish some tracks that were filling up my laptop. I managed to write lyrics and record vocals for 4 so I guess we’ll call it an EP.
Fourth track was an older instrumental. I used some lines from 90's tunes and the lyrics is about…
These tracks (Easyeverything) were made while trying out some new gear; Moog Grandmother and Elektron Model Samples specifically. I tried to make the sort of Chillwave/Vaporwave I like to use as background music, while trying out arps and sequencers…
Before the War
--------------------------
Do you remember
Those carefree years right before the war
God, we were so so sure
it would always stay this way
Do you remember
sweat from the ceiling and from the walls
we didn't have a care…
I think it works as an instrumental but takes too long to get going. If you were to do it as a vocal song, do you have lyrics ready to go for it? I imagine it would lend itself well to vocals. Nice track. Love the bass line.
I had programmed a drumtrack based on Can's Vitamin C at the end of january in preparation for RPM. Last week I read that the drummer Jaki Liebzeit died the 22th of january. The other idea was to stay on one chord for a long time and use reverb…
Midlife crisis? I'm not going to reflect too much on these lyrics. It might be interesting to myself to hear again 5 or 10 years from now. I used a guitarnoise with a EH Graphic Fuzz and Hardwire RV-7 with a reverse reverb (I used this too in…
This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…
These four songs were written for the RPM Challenge 2013 (which I didn't finish, I finished these songs for RPM 2015) My idea for lyrics of the record was not to use the words You an I. So that's where this came from.
03 – Meteorites. Written 2nd/3rd Feb. Recorded 3rd Feb.
Inspired by the film ‘Stardust’ where our hero meets a (literal) fallen star. The painful low vocals were particularly fun, and their emotional cracking was acting rather than the fact…
This album is definitely one of the best things from RPM 2009 and, being a big High Llama's-fan, right up my alley. I also planned do try more multitracked vocals but ran out of time (starting with the vocals only the last three days) so it's quite amazing to me you got all of this done in one month.

This track is hypnotic. Fantastically hypnotic.
sweet, I'll check this album out asap.
Great track. Really snappy and fresh.

Nice song!
Fun track – energetic and feels like there’s a lot going on (which suits your track’s title!).
Great groove to this one. Really hypnotic. Took me 'til about 2 minute mark before I was like, 'wait! damn, this is good!'
I like the interplay of the bass and acoustic. Really nice.
Drifts beautifully. Ain't nothin' wrong with some easy listening sometimes!
Very good. Mellow and cool, without being boring. Well done!
I'm dying this is so good
clever
One of my ultimate alonetone faves. Tarantino needs to hear this.
Hey, lekkere nummers man! Goed bezig. Peace, Bart
I like it... kinda Euro-disco-ey meets elevator music. Relaxing AND I can sort of dance to it.
Nice sound cool beat
Lush
Great idea this.. Its amazing what comes of rpm
Fonkay. Enjoying the whole vibe here
Yes!
