Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times
And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…

Opening and preferred track for our 2010 RPM Challenge record (self-titled).

This is the first song that was completed with vocals by Vinyette. It is inspired by a dream or nightmare really. The scene is set in purgatory, which happens to be a dark subway train running at full tilt into an abyss of track lighting. The…

Some shun or dare not partake in the discussion of passing on from this life. Many search for meaning and fanciful places to reside, after their earthly shells have been left behind. This song is sweet reminder that ignoring and falsifying of…

This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…

Paper Girls is one of those tracks which I wrote based on my experiences that I hope others can relate to in their own way. Soft, breathy vocals courtesy of Anezka Piska.

Self-explanatory. Sorry if it breaks your speakers :)

The obligatory ambient piece. I really wanted to experiment with balancing the bass and treble; it seems to have worked quite well. Bonus marks if you can identify any of the samples.

Track 3 on Tarbosaurus Antagonist. Written and recorded from February 2009- January 2010.

The execution is not perfect, but the concept works.

The lyrics continue the theme of the previous track, if you care about that sort of thing.

I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.

these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics are below:
No one explains it to you

When no one rails against you
All their comforting words are the same
Does it upset you Enough to awake you

Archtop song... usually I play this faster... Vocoder for the lyrics... Drums BFD2.

Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.

Last song of RPM album. I'm particularly fond of the last ten seconds. :D

Soothing and sad, a synthesized tune for the lovelorn and loveless. And just those with a perennial tear in their eyes.

A song celebrating the animator for The Teller of the Tale. Music is post-avantgarde neo-progressive rock.

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

One of only two tracks on the album where loops were used more than instruments, or at least as much.

Daft Punk and Wire hire Le Tigre for an homage to Bert Convy.

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 2010 RPM Album. This is the first track in the Fear Trilogy. I wish I had the time to edit it down a bit more but I still think it would make great background music for a haunted house display or Halloween party...

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.

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

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.

A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
