This still needs some work. I'll redo some of the vocals and it needs some more build up and audio candy. I still have a bunch of tracks that have no lyrics or vocals yet so I'll see what I can finish.

This started out as a chillwave sounding track but somehow turned out all 80's melodramatic. My singing technique is still shit but I'll probably go for "good enough" for now for all tracks and then Melodyne the shit out of it to make it work…

Here's one surviving track from my failed 2019 RPM. My laptop died on me halfway through February and I could only retrieve some mp3's and lost the multitracks. On this one I had a guest voice from Francesca (https://www.fralalai.com/) who I…

This is one of two tracks I have lyrics for now and I spend an awful long time trying to make the vocal sound half decent. In the end I had to resort to using Melodyne. I probably have to fiddle with the mix some more but that will have to wait…

This is supposed to be the opening track. I'm not sure yet if it will be an instrumental or if I have to add lyrics and vocal. What do you think? Let me know. Update 24-2-2021 Thanks Richiebee for the comments! I added an electric guitar…

The idea of this was to combine Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of Bay with the perspective of a refugee (or of myself as a refugee) sitting in some port trying to flee to a better life. Though not all lines are perfect I'm quite happy with…

Another unintentional instrumental. I quite like this as a track though it doesn't really go anywhere.

I had a vague idea to write a lyric about Julian Assange's daily life in the Ecuadorian Embassy; no sun, being confined to a small office-space... I didn't get round to it so I added some lame Mellotron (IK Sampletron) parts and called it finished.

The lyrics are pretty bad and I had to record the second guitar through an ampsim late in the evening of the 28th. So I rerecorded that part in march and changed the drums slightly. This is where the record starts to fall apart a bit.

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…

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…

I set this up to be like a Madchester/early 90's-track. When I took out the drums in the verse (as an experiment) it suddenly reminded me of the German 60's hit Marmor, stein und Eisen bricht. Those lyrics go like "Marble, stone and iron break…

Lyrically it's about this dream to live another kind of life as in Tim Ferriss' book. The last three years I had managed to live on working in a bar in the weekends, being a guinea pig for medical tests, travelling the world as an On Board Courier…

This song doesn't really go anywhere but that maybe fits the lyrics. There are some nice guitarparts. I added a guitar, percussion and changed the drums in march for the new version.

The first track I had lyrics and vocal for and the track that set the tone and the direction for the rest of the album for me. The lyrics were directly inspired by the situation in Syria and in general my disgust for authoritarians on the march…
