So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....

I'm digging this - you get the levels perfect. I like how the instrumentation slowly builds up over the course of the song.
(It's nice being able to see the audio visually now when the song plays - it gives me a better sense of what the optimal levels are for music should be.)

There's a darkness creeping in the woods by a brimstone tree
A withered headless horseman traveling on the breeze
A mighty footprint measured 15 inches long
Whispered voices rolling in off the fog
(Chorus)
Transcribe plates made of stone…
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
Thanks for your music bud. Just thanks. Your lyrics and music always inspire me to play. Even if it's a totally different style. Just makes me want to haul a** back to the studio and jam out. Thank you. Don't ever stop playing.
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…
I had missed this one when it was first put up by Chris Vaisvil and Norm (Still waiting) i heard it today for the first time and it struck a chord so i asked Chris if i could add some words and being the generous man he is, he said yes. So i set…
First off, damn sad about the finger. I cannot relate to cutting it off, but I can relate to burning the skin off ( dishwasher incident of 2010- of smashing it flat @ work) so I do understand what you have been going through. It really sucks man. Second amazing track. Vocals spot on, mix is great, and very glad to see your new track up on A.T. Third-ly :) any time you might be in or passing through this area...or meeting up in carlsbad we have to meet up and jam, --- or if I am in that area on vacation--also have a good friend in denver who jams a mean piano/harmonica we have to get something going. Killer track bud, and hope you heal up quick and get the music flowing. Best Wishes your way! -JG
I went to Norway recently to meet Geir and Jim and Mike for a Weekend of Music.

We have never played Live together, and this was the First Time…
Damn bro...how the f*** did I miss this? !?!? tonight is my "steak" night. I know it's ot the end of the week but who cares. I love you music, the vocals are tight, and I know it's not you....mezmorized by the small keys on my blackberry...I own a blackberry?? Me?? Back on subject...sitting in a local brewery, all alone drinking good beer..is that depressing? Maybe it will make it into a song...anywa f*cking love this track...don't know how I misssed it..damn...damn...damn...
:)
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
Hell yes. Hell yes. I had an entire story running in my head to this one. Love the run in the last :50 seconds, totally my style of song writing. I love how the progression takes you from point a to point b without losing anything. Very cool track. Nuff said. :)
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
I still vote this for best home studio musician track of the decade. If you can't relate...buy a microphone. I was trying to record vocals the the collab with Epimeison yesterday and right in the middle of take 2, what decides to appear...an ice cream truck. REALLY?? You have a whole freakin park across wash and you choose my street with all of 3 kids to sell to!?! The economy must have really taken it's toll on the mobile frozen milk delivery service. WTF?!? Love it, fav it again if I could.
Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
Hey man I always open to ideas! I tried it and I am really glad I did! I was in a space today thinking "yeah but..." And I try not to get into that mode. Even though I might not always agree with an idea...It does not make them wrong. I spent to much of my life as an...well...an a**hole..it's something I feel I can always improve on, and always try to better myself as a human being and this strange rock we call earth. Did I make myself sound intelligent? Ha ha :) glad you liked it man.

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

I would be most interested in working with this :) and all the other beats I have been messing with!! Love this one as well, esp. the 7 count. Now off to the studio for pizza, whiskey, and some sweet drums to jam to! YEAH!! Oh and FAV'd!
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.

Loving it when it explodes Sunrise
I have been missing some new MTC i know it a bit late to the party, but ive been out for a bit. Tastey tune
Oh yeah, love it.
Mighty fine album MTC - sorry I didn't spot it earlier.
Oh yesss... I was going to maybe go to bed and listen to this tomorrow... but... change of plan : I'm gonna listen now, sleep can wait :)
Well I know I'd only reappeared a month after this, but how did I miss this album existed? Magnificent opener.
Just what the hell did you tell that splinter?? Stop talking to the enemy!! Nice work here.
Oh yeah. Cool playing.
diggin this one esp at 1:58, 2:43. nice man
Oh yeah loving the riffage it’s working for me
great Build up, nice playing man
Definitely OK! Go on then... upload the backtrack and I'll have a little look. Tho' I'm trying to do the April RPM thingy
Nice one, Mov!!
This rocks. I like that subtle flanger around the two minute mark.
Grandiose work man!
Excellent work.
I'm digging this - you get the levels perfect. I like how the instrumentation slowly builds up over the course of the song. (It's nice being able to see the audio visually now when the song plays - it gives me a better sense of what the optimal levels are for music should be.)
Oh, yes. This is niiiiiiiiice.
Soooo good to hear new stuff from you! Settling in for some MTC goodness right now!!!
F%&$ yeah! Great tune as usual. Guitar tone is killer!

Jammin this while skateboarding. Work that wah! I like Jimi jam a little better..more rough around the edges, but still a sweet track none the less.
Nice collab gents. A job well done.
Very sweet collab, three greats in one track.2 Regs vocals fit perfect and the whole song rocks. Nice!!

Nice one to pick to cover on the acoustic. Another smooth track here.
Nice one! I always dig song about the ocean.

Good stuff man, following the time perfect with the music. Sounds like a soundtrack for a summer drive. :)
YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha
Thanks Richard :)
Damn...I am at a loss for words...this is incredible. Very strong emotion in this one.
I would be most interested in working with this :) and all the other beats I have been messing with!! Love this one as well, esp. the 7 count. Now off to the studio for pizza, whiskey, and some sweet drums to jam to! YEAH!! Oh and FAV'd!
Yep two listens in and still love it. Better try three... :)
Amazing track! Love this one man!
