Another collab with Snapper4298. An electronica track with an old school type beat.

Yep! It's me and Snapper4298 again! This year, we just kept going! Melodically I think this is one of if not THE richest and most beautiful tracks I have ever created :) Sounds so epic!

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 14. The title pretty much says it all. I had more trouble improvising over this stupid little asshole of a song than I've maybe ever had before in my entire life. It was awful. The leads you're left with are…

Another one by Snapper4298 and me.... There is crazy.... and then there is absolutely, insanely, utterly crazy mad... Firstly, it's not even an arpeggiator at all, but never mind that. The melody is crazy, wonky!.... Apologies for the use…

Dave has been around with his guitar a few times. This will be the first time one of our collabs makes it to the RPM challenge. We left it quite last minute (Dave had all sorts of other things going on), but managed to get him on Friday 25th…

For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat. Keep it quiet kids…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 15. Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…

Some work with a new collab partner: Wendingo24 from Freesound.org One of 2 remixes I have created based on some earlier recordings by Wendingo24. He provided the acoustic guitar at the start of the track (which I also manipulated to sound like…

so glad there is a single song category for RPM. we got the band together for this song written by Kent Good. recorded 2-26-22 live at KG's Place. Kent Good guitar/vocal Martin Fox guitar PLMcDaniel drums Mitch Davidhisar keys Jason Koenig bass

...and this is version #2, a completely different take on remixing an earlier piece by Wendingo24. This one is much more in line with the initial piece. Although I still wanted to include electric guitar, this piece is mostly acoustic. Very cosy…

Rework/Remix of a pre-existing piece by Wendingo24. The previous piece contained all the melodic drones and many of the noise and field recording layers. I added additional sound layers and also concentrated on using a number of techniques for…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 16. This one is all right. I'm not quite ready to say it's a lock for making the final album but it's close. If nothing else, the rhythm guitar part is fun to play and the vocals are nice and shouty. I used…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 17. Now we're talking. I like this one a lot. My self criticism are valid, the melody in the verse is too la di da sing songy, and I shouldn't have used a Big Muff fuzz pedal on the rhythm tracks (too much bass…

electric upright bass fingered and bowed
