Middle age sux. You wake up and realize you're not the rebel novelty of your self image. You've grown cowardly, protective and conservative. What the hell happened?

This is a song from my ill-fated 2010 RPM Challenge album. I really don't like much about this except the drums, I'll probably use them to make an entirely new track.

Another track from my 2010 RPM Challenge album. It is a song about our little family and what is going on in our house at this point in time. The kids never tire from hearing their names and activies in song.

I wish you could see
The beautiful light
That surrounds you
It touches me, touching you
We look at these pictures
When we were young
Long for yesterday
When we knew nothing
Now we know so much
Too many things
Why can’t we let go
Forget everything…

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.

Finally a good cut of this one. Named after Daniel Burnham of Chicago's Burnham Plan, this song is about the downfall of western capitalism. I'm completely unprepared for it myself -- I have no idea what I'll wear.

Track 11... I have to stop writing parts that I can't cleanly play.

lullaby featuring piano (but of course!)
Notes:
Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.

Kind of a chillout, lullaby type tune.

Notes:
I think the shaker comes in too strong. I think the intro goes on for probably 1 or 2 more phrases than it should.

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
