Lyrics
Dies ist meine Lebenarbeit
Es muss geschutzt werden
Meine Leben arbeiten
Meine ganzen Kampfe, Meine Ideen.
There is no life in the Arcades,
Just turtles walking people on chains.

The first song (with vocals) I've recorded for RPM month, for the Love Light Shine project.
A depressing tale of redneck angst.

Hurray patches?
The melody was the last thing that was written for this.

I imagine this music playing in a bar sometime in the future, probably in the background while cybernetic bar patrons interface with one another in full view of the world's sensor network.

a tricky song to describe, and maybe a little bit odd in structure, but i'm pretty happy with this one.

somehow this song was meant to be silly, but somehow it sounds deadly serious (see jokes, that's how i roll). track for the 2010 RPM Challenge

My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)

Oh yeah. The silly a cappellas are back.
Ideas they are like water
Just floating all along
But you really can't hold on
Ideas they are elusive
You can chase 'em everyday
In the end they get away
So get that old idea
And dust it off

My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

"Farmer's Blow" is redneck rap. Oh yeah, I went there.

If you're on the run
And your nose has gotta go
Don't grab a tissue
Do the farmer's blow
Just tilt your head
To the side
Then block one nostril
And let it ride

Track three from the 2010 RPM album "They Are Killers"

This is the title track of my RPM 2010 album. It describes how I juggle the bills each week and try to make ends meet. If you know the old joke, if the ends would not necessarily meet but just wave at each other once in a while, I'd be happy.

Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…

Did I mention I'm taping my songwriting sessions?
So I now have about 30 minutes of footage of me totally screwing around at the beginning of this session. Listening to Spotify. Playing melodies by ear and such.

Day #6 and it's still solo piano.
And I think this is the most I've ever written *just* piano before.
I do miss patches and polish, but it's all raw material that could be built into something more later on. Or left alone.
And for once, this…

Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
