i'm just a sad and broken

at me upon the screen
what kind of hell is this
please tell me it's a dream

Playing the game
And the rules often change
And I go long, long, long
The game is on
It’s all at risk
Raising the stakes
I’ll do what it takes
Because I know I’m strong
And the game is on
I won’t look back
But today is the day

I know it’s getting late
But I believe it may be our fate

You know what’s at stake

We’ll make it, through the night

In the darkness, throughout the night

The war won’t be…

I couldn’t have guessed
But it was wrong to hold on
I felt so strong, being around you
But now that you’ve left
And you’re gone, gone, gone

Did you mean to leave me…

Days, months, then years

This one has potential but I don't think I pulled it off. It uses a gimmick I used once already this month where the drums are playing in one time signature (in this case it's 6/8) and the rest of the band is playing in another (7/8). I like…

Urgh, this song. Destined to be last on the April RPM Challenge album, not because it's a good closing number, but because it's crap and everyone will have stopped listening before they get this far.
I started this on guitar. I set up a drum…

I don't like this one. I had a really hard time singing it so I buried the vocal tracks in sauce and tried to forget they were there. I had a bridge section that I wrote lyrics for but I couldn't pull off the vocal. I turned it into guitarmonies…

So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.

Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…

Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.

I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.

Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…

Okay, just one more track. Did this one at the last second.
I needed to end the album on a 'dancing around apartment like an idiot driving the downstairs neighbors crazy' sort of note.

My dad used to play the beginning riff of this song when he could still play guitar. I've always wanted to do something with it. The message in this song is to stay positive even in times of turmoil. And that it is ok to do nice things for others…

The last 6 months, I've been sight reading a Bach Chorale each morning (there are 400 of em!) and occasionally one sticks out that I really like.
This one sounded great on the Wurlitzer, which is literally note for note playing the chorale…

This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…

My April RPM Lockdown Challenge single instrumental. Originally wanted to do a 4 track EP, but 6 weeks of hayfever left me in a particularly uncreative frame of mind.

This song was inspired by David Lowery's movie named A Ghost Story, starring Casey Affleck. Really touching and sad movie, even if measured by Casey Affleck standards.

This is my 2nd Piece that I "wrote" in a pretty simple fashion. I started with the 2 pizzicato tracks and then Improvised 3 voices on top of that. It started as a test if I can plug in my audiointerface into my phone and it kind of worked out…

This one is all gimmick but I like it. I think it has album track one potential, but I'm not sure yet.

Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.
