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.

A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…

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!....

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…

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!

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

Snapper4298 and me go back a long time (more than 10 years! I couldn't believe it myself!)
Great collab partner!
This is another electronica piece, with a hint of chiptune (among other things).
Don't know why, the piano pat makes me think of…

Dan was mucking around with the bass guitar. I recorded it.
Then I took parts of the recording, and quickly added some drums and other parts to it. This one was just a quick job. Nothing too fancy...

Well, my entry for RPM 2022 went from LP to (a very short) 4 song EP but this track I think has bags of potential. It was a discarded idea from a few years ago that was lurking in my 'half-baked' Logic folder but something in it ignited my creative…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 12.
This one is okay, I guess. Nothing special. It has eight bars of three part harmony and I always feel good when I can pull that off. I'm not sure if it has what it takes to make the final RPM album, but…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 11.
I'm torn over this one. I like the riffs, I like the groove, I like the melody, but I think I hate the lyrics more than I've hated any lyric I've written in a very, very long time.

2022 RPM Challenge song number nine.
Simple. I like it. It started with me strumming over a drum loop and then developed quickly. I thought about leaving the bass and drums off, but wimped out. It's a little folkie, but not THAT folkie…

A track that definitely has elements of funkiness, but is also heavily influenced by disco and house. Features ejay vocals.

Probably my favourite of the tracks I made for my RPM 2022 album simply because it seemed to come together quite quickly and easily. I love the warmth of the bass and how it constrasts with the sharpness of the horns and trumpets. Vocal courtesy…
