"An ode to..." written, recorded, and produced by W. Ng, for the 2026 RPM Challenge. NSFW

It's been a long 2+ years... G/Bm - C9 Here we stand, hand in hand Staring over the edge Not the way we planned it But what we have in the end When the waves were crashing How were we to know That nothing would be the same When we…

Verse 1 Morning keeps its promises I don’t stop to question why I stay ahead by staying busy I don’t listen, I don’t try I don’t ask it what it means If I keep my hands in motion I don’t hear what’s in between Chorus There’s a jar full…

I’m all for paying your dues And getting what you deserve And people say you’ll only get what you can bear But it might be time For people to find out You only get so far on thoughts and prayers People like to tell you You’ve got it…

They told me where to sit and stay So that’s what I became The room behaved exactly right And I did the same Nothing pressed, nothing pulled No one asked me to decide I stayed where circulation ends And nothing else applied I do the…

Here is my final mix of the last song I'm posting for this 2026 RPM Challenge. I wrote it half way through the challenge in a rough form and just finished the mix at 11:40 pm on February 28th. I did so many layers of synth and piano and stuff…

This was the third song I wrote for RPM this year - took me a while to produce it. I started with a base line and it grew from there by adding piano and synths. Thanks to anyone who listens! My dog was playing with a squeaky toy while I made it…

This is another one for the RPM Challenge. This is some kind of 'song'... using a lot of repetition. Built with my synths and vocals and with the pressure of a deadline and a new rescue dog requiring most of my attention. Thanks for listening…

This is Song 8 for my RPM Challenge. A bit of a dance tune I suppose. This is another one that seemed to write itself - and well, it's about nothing. I'm doing some quick mixing here as the deadline is upon me - so the ending is a bit abrupt…

Another one for the RPM Challenge. This is one is a bit of a mood piece created with my synths. Enjoyed creating the harmonies for this one (I just use intuition for harmonies...sometimes it works and sometimes it gets weird and I usually cut…

A melancholy drive somewhere in darkness and rain. Downtempo or chillout with lead played on the Ambient 0, some scratchy ambiance courtesy of the Texturelab fed through my new MXR distortion pedal, drums from the LM Drum, and mellow pads from…

Out of Harmony's Way is a 14-album box set which was created by the audio sound art collective, Mannlicher Carcano, within the month of February, 2023. It is our submission to this year's RPM Challenge. Mannlicher Carcano has a fluid international…

Track five of my RPM 2026 project. More details to come later.

Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…
