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?

Lyrics by Brian McCloskey in somewhat of a suprise collab. Musically a kind of feel-good soul-pop. I quite like how this turned out, and nominated it my prefered RPM-track this year.

Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year.

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

Last song of RPM album. I'm particularly fond of the last ten seconds. :D
Uploaded
Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.
Uploaded
Started with three blind mice clav bassline. Added RS9 strings, vocoder. same strange loops...
Uploaded
Vocoder song about AI, strange loops and consciousness. Synths. E. Guitar.

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

oops this is clipping. Will upload a better version soon. RPM deadline mistake. Basically I was going to have a friends rip some guitar solos over this one but hat did not happen in time. I played my hammond for this.

RPM single take song. Bit of a ramble. Drums are BFD.
Uploaded
Started with a little guitar riff on the archtop, Played roland rs9 string synth through tremolo amp. Also has my tenor steel pan played live.
Uploaded
Archtop, electric guitar. No vocoder.. Not so sure on my voice for this one as I had a cold for pretty much the whole month of Feb.. Also think I put too much over all "warm plate" reverb on every track (that was a last minute RPM deadline decision)
Uploaded
Our first song, recorded with an inline computer speaker from a distance, so it's sound quality isn't great, but Nate's performance was. Recorded 2/26/2010

Archtop Guitar, electric guitar and Roland vocoder. Drums are BFD2 and a tabla I picked up that week at a thrift shop.

This is the one song I actually "wrote" ahead of time for the RPM Challenge.

When I visited London I really liked the food, especially the breakfasts.

I bought an MXR Bass d.i.+ and I really like it, which is why there's so much bass on this album.

I'm sure I've ripped off the opening lick from somewhere, but I can't figure out where!

I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??

A filler track, obviously. Also, I got a cowbell for Christmas...

Improvisation based very loosely on the chord progression for "Four On Six."
Uploaded
Don't remember the improvisation seed for this one either.
Uploaded
Don't remember what the improvisation seed was for this one... more of a "Let's do another Asymptotic Taste album, shall we?"
Uploaded
Improvisation based on a chord progression of root-5-9 chords
Uploaded
Improvisation based on the "Hendrix chord" (7#9)
Uploaded
Improvisation very (VERY) loosely based on the chord progression for jazz tune "Move."
Uploaded
This one was improvised based on mostly playing harmonics 12 frets above the fretted note.
Uploaded
The improvisation concept behind this was to only change one note at a time out of a group of three, slowly morphing the tune, except for a couple times that I forgot what I was doing.
Uploaded
This used the grain delay in Guitar Rig to get the shimmery sound in the background. Otherwise I don't remember what the actual improvisation thread was.

Sometimes you just look at your capo and think... hey, I aint used you for a while - its rough and sloppy but hey... just like me!

sorry about me being such a delay on uploads, i'm getting slower and slower because of lack of ideas and samples. I probably have like 3 or four songs that all use the same exact piano sampling...
