Sometimes you have everything
Sometimes you have none
Sometimes you are separate
Sometimes you are one
In the midst of all your suffering
Sometimes Heaven Comes
Here's something for those bitter times
Here's something…

Dream Song

Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past
Rollin' through my head
Or was I driving in my car
Rain fallin' down
I couldn't see very far
Strange animals in shadows by the road
I knew a secret
But I forget everything I'm told…

brimming with treasure (hidden)
Surprises crucial (owing)

This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.
Uploaded
For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.
Uploaded
Who says everything in DADGAD has to sound happy and Celtic?
Uploaded
So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC
Uploaded
...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
No, the title isn't really about anything. Also tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)
Uploaded
I think I wrote enough that I can play it consistently this way, but I like this piece as a jam framework. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
Another old tune... from 2004 I think. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
I wrote this one several years ago, but never recorded it, so it seemed like a good way to get a jump start on RPM2013.
Uploaded
Dark electronica. Percussion loops that I morphed, and sounds generated from the Alchemy Synth VSTi.
Uploaded
Glitchy Drums, Weird guitar by me and bass by me.
Uploaded
2 tracks rhythm guitar, one sounds like an organ
one track lead guitar
bass
maniacal laughing
drums from loops
Uploaded
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.
Uploaded
Fingerpicked guitars in 2 different tunings, acoustic guitar solo, with a moog VSTi.
Uploaded
Kind of a cross between a surf tune and an indie rock instrumental.
I played the rhythm and lead guitars, and bass guitar. Used loops for the drums and vox. Recorded in Reaper.
Uploaded
Guitar - me
Bass - me
Keys - me
Percussion - loops
I used My new Yamaha Pacifica 112V electric guitar, my Dean bass, and Alchemy synth.
Uploaded
Straight up Texas-Style blues, by way of Georgia. I played the guitars and bass. The drums are from loops. Recorded in Reaper, mastered in Audacity, on my iMac.
Uploaded
I played the electric guitar, (Peavey), my Dean bass, and my Crystal synth VSTi(love that thing!). I arranged the drums from loops. I recorded in Reaper on my iMac.
Uploaded
I actually wrote this awhile back, but I've wanted to re-arrange it and record it with better quality, so here it is. Everything is me except the drums which are loops.

...and we finish the 2013 RPM/FAWM bonanza with yet another big, dumb rocker. I'm finished!
Uploaded
I felt compelled to have at least one song that did not use any computerized instruments. This is two tracks of voice and three tracks of guitars. Just me.
Uploaded
A happy little ditty about flaming death from above.

i didn't set out to make this a super basic recording, but I only used five tracks (not counting the piano that I left muted during the mix). No doubling, no harmonies, no shifting parts around. Nothing.
Uploaded
Lots of interesting tidbits about this song. It was the first song I worked on this year. I wrote the piano/bass/drums while sitting in the car in an Indian restaurant parking lot. It was the first time I set out to write an instrumental (fail…
Uploaded
I really don't have anything to say about this one except it's the ninth song finished for the 2013 RPM/FAWM.
Uploaded
Just a quick render example for a friend, sm57 into Reaper, bit of Danzig's shopping list, bit of sibilant phrasing.

#RPM Challenge 2013#
"Under Watchful Eyes" is my 10th song for the RPM Challenge 2013. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

As we wrap up our work on our 2013 RPM album "How The Story Goes", we figured we'd leak an early track. Enjoy our country drinking song.
When I should have been thinking G
Instead I was drinking
And now I'm left here all alone C - G…

i just played some simple triads that matched the basic chord progression to Pachelbel's Canon in D(didn't try to play the original melody or anything), then improvised a few solos, hope you like it.

I believe that you’re spinning around
You’re spinning around in your make believe
You are a person of interest
with no personal interest in staying sane
You, you’re stepping in time, you’re out of step
you never regret, to let it all go…

I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…

yes...actually vocals on this one. My buddy Dave laid down some vocals to the lyrics I wrote back in 1994...original arrangement from '91 to be uploaded later...this recording was pulled from a cassette tape and not mixed...sorry for quality…

uploaded new version on 9/23/13 with changes on guitar and drums a the end of 1st song.
thanks to Lsd25 for use of his Static track.

the last third. Along with inter dimensional warfare, tells a complete story. Suddenly feeling like everything I've done this month is crap. Everything except toilet shrimp. I love that song.
Uploaded
another one from RPM'13. I spent more than a few days working on a bunch of percussion tracks for this, only to leave them out of the final edit. Which this is not. Will upload a final version soon, but probably not before March 1st so I think…
Uploaded
I didn't do a 12-bar this year. I always do at least one, but this year I didn't. This little snoozer will have to suffice. Another one that has frustrated the crap out of me.
Uploaded
A song about a tough day at the office.
This one turned into more of a project that it deserved. My first take on the vocals seemed okay at the time but was really unacceptable. I went back and fixed the problems and ended up clipping the…

10 minutes long? Three part harmonies? Very long fade out on a very long fruity guitar noodle? Yup, welcome to another lame attempt at prog rock!

After a comment, I had to do a quick version of this - includes harmonica sol (but, not so low so that you can't hear it - sorry!)

this is five stereo tracks at seven min long blended together it would be difficult to turn into a 5.1 surround sound creation but I am up to the challenge just let me get some seven minutes of footage to put with it then out to the five.one surround…

blow the base and bust out the brain-breaks.. some blasts of sound in the middle of and an excerpt from the new next work I have yet to post or do.. just wait for it this is nothing but blasted basics.
