Title track to our rpm effort. Introduces both vocalists and overall acoustic rock sound of the album.

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

A song about my friend's daughter, who knows how to get my attention. She's a real gem.

Inspired from some Dr. Dog music...I like lap steel and trippy music/lyrics.

I was going through a real bad relationship breakup this fall...this is the abstraction of that relationship. Happy ending though, we are patching things up and working on getting back together. Hard to walk away from 15 years of experiences…

Like a Persian rug, only less cosy on the feet. Watch out for shamanic encroachings!

One serious track. It's not like me at all, but there it is.

Written and Recorded: Feb 28, 2010
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (FBbEbGCF, FBbEbGDbF, Capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity...all fingers, no picks.
Last track for RPM 2010, and by far my favorite of the batch…

Based on some crazy events of my life in the fall. Relationships...so difficult...

More relationship material...in waltz timing...

About a special place...its not called Laurelie, but I liked the lyricism of that word.

Inspired by Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (my favorite reading material). What would happen if Death came for you, like in the series. This is that conversation.

I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…

this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!
Uploaded
This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.
Uploaded
Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.
Uploaded
Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

What's weird is that I didn't feel the rush of adrenaline until after I had finished recording the vocals. At 12:59 CST.
And then I just kinda freaked out.
For those not in the know, this was for February 28th's FAWM song skirmish. A title…

It seems that any time I feel confident about being able to continue doing a song a day, I jinx my next day.
Like last night, I made it known that I was probably going to continue with song a day in March, whilst…

flute/bass/drums, kinda jazzy, upbeat
I admit, the title has nothing to do with the piece. It’s a reference to the morning I had. Yelyah v. Squirrel.

Meant as an outro to the RPM 2010 album. I'm not proud of it, but i needed 1:45 more music to complete the challenge and it's the last day!
Uploaded
Meant as an introduction track to the RPM 2010 album.

quick little mandolin number to round out my album for the year!!

Track 9. I love when my inane babble turns into a useful lyric.
Uploaded
Ever have one of those days? Yeah... that's what this is about.

Track 7 is about a couple of friends who seem to continually make self-destructive decisions.

Track 6 is about a poor sod who has to stay at home while his lady is at a Pure Romance party... or something like that.

A billboard is no place for advertising some sort of spiritual message. I call it thieves in the temple if you ask me.

Track 4. Contains an uncredited sample of American Indian drumming. I'd love to credit it... if I knew who it was.

Wave 2010 (RPM)
Remastered version, June 2010.
Uploaded
This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.
Uploaded
If "Jenny Blue" is the closer, and "Shrinking Violet" is the outro, then this is the postlude to the outro.
The only track I played in real-time on from beginning to end. (No idea how I managed to pull that off..)
Uploaded
"Jenny Blue" was originally supposed to be the album closer, but this track seemed like a nice outro.
(Definitely Tangerine Dream worship on my part.)

Title track from my RPM 2010 album, entitled "The Loudest Silence".

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.
It's basically about working the night shift on an office job. (You see really weird things at night when an office building is empty and quiet…

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language".
This one ties into the theme from 2009's RPM Challenge Album. (Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets).
Uploaded
The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
Uploaded
RPM 2010 track. Opener for "The Loudest Silence" album.
Full songname is "Of Bad Sectors In The Human Mind".

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

This is a haiku -- there is no deeper meaning. We're only counting.

There are several theories concerning the extinction of Neanderthal humans 30,000 years ago. I am struck by the replacement of skilled hunters by aggressive agriculturists -- we're pretty much Cain, aren't we?

The turning point for my RPM Challenge recordings this year - I'd planned out a bunch of songs to record with just vocals and an acoustic. After several of these sketches presented themselves to my brain, I threw the old plan out.
Uploaded
Written, more or less, after sitting in a car for four hours, after attending Laurie's Last.
Uploaded
Just a short reprise of the first song on this years RPM album. Something to tie it all off so it doesn't keep bleeding.
