Frankenstein Sound Lab pays homage to the Shangri-Las. After a fashion.

High 'n Mighty (t boudreau) Well look who made it halfway I truly must be blessed I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess And I always do it my way I make it up as I go along I think I earned some slack to take a…

rpm 2012 #9 so short! if you're rushing a project, I recommend not choosing five part wind ensembles

Gone To Stay (C Maiorano) Here at the crossroads, with no ideas River of time flows, year after year We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near The light of our life glows, then disappears We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…

Just Passin’ Thru (t boudreau) Take whatever you want from me (babe) Take all that you need I need to lighten my load lately To a certain degree Tokens only are slowing me down There’s a lot of luggage in life Chatter scattered across…

Michael and Theodore (C Maiorano) Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb Why? Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily Dealt with things our own way…

Onward (c maiorano) The message they send us Conform or be tortured If it's left up to us We can only do wrong But we'll trust in our fortunes Progress moves onward Straight ahead Immortally strong

Home-Made Rock n Roll ( t boudreau) I want to tell ya about my baby She does a little kitchen dance She turns up my heat And grease's down my sheets And she can rattle my pots n pans She can start with a slow simmer And turn it up…

We were running out of time during the RPM Challenge 2012, so Tess applied a shedload of effects to Matt's piano motif from "Breaking Arrows".

Messing around with a Korg. Part of my outer-space theme - the Apollo program ended with Apollo 17...imagine if they had 51 missions! Also, a subtle link to Area 51.

The final version, at last!

Tess Savage - composition, synth, strings, voice Mr Sandbags - beats & reichatron samples Deep in the night I remember Euphoria (Savage 2012)

from my 2009 album, 'Texoskeleton...' This song says as much as I dare to mention in a tune...

rpm 2012 #8

Named by a friend, there is a little island that appears and disappears with the tide. We go there sometimes in the Great Bay in New Hampshire. Bob Kordas on dobro.

My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme. My incomparable musicians: Dobro…
