I guess you could call this my attempt at dark ambient. I once misread a sign in a bookstore that read "Read Away The Winter" as "Dead Avalanche Winter", and I filed that away mentally until I had a fitting song for it.

The backing track is mainly the "Chanticleer Hegemony" beat in reverse at a slower tempo and pitch-shifted samples of my earlier track "Harm". The lyrics are taken verbatim from a note that once landed in my driveway one windy day. The ending…

I sometimes use a random phrase generator to get song ideas. This time I got "fellow ghost".

A couple of the stranger sections of this song resulted from accidentally pasting multiple parts to the wrong tracks (and thus giving them entirely different effects than intended). I often try to embrace "mistakes" as just weird new directions…

While adding effects to a song, I accidentally put distortion on a leftover silent recording. I kind of liked the hum that resulted and made the rhythm track out of that.

I personally wasn't that happy with how this turned out, but to me when it comes to RPM albums there should be no such thing as outtakes.

Kind of a mashup of "Cthulhu Carnival" and "Sasquatch Horror Collection".

If you've ever played the pretty good but questionably translated X-Men arcade game, you should recognize this title.

A pretty little ambient loop I might go back and expand into something else someday.
