Of course, the title also reeks of jealousy because I couldn't create an IDM track even if I tried. So instead, here's a heavy, layered electronica track that reeks of faux glitchery and IDM-ishness.

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…

We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010

Self-consciously pet-soundsy guitar solo, a teen angsty lyric and an cappella ending and. Who say's I listen to too much Beach-Boys?

A silly song questioning the value of using songs to get a message across. Just say 'sorry' - don't write me an opera about it.
Incidentally the note choices in this song really did hurt me.

At the 23rd hour we consider whether we've made the right decisions.

Sixty minutes to go
Are we counting the seconds…

Just a short reprise of the first song on this years RPM album. Something to tie it all off so it doesn't keep bleeding.

The turning point for my RPM Challenge recordings this year - I'd planned out a bunch of songs to record with just vocals and an acoustic. After several of these sketches presented themselves to my brain, I threw the old plan out.

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.

"Jenny Blue" was originally supposed to be the album closer, but this track seemed like a nice outro.
(Definitely Tangerine Dream worship on my part.)

If "Jenny Blue" is the closer, and "Shrinking Violet" is the outro, then this is the postlude to the outro.
The only track I played in real-time on from beginning to end. (No idea how I managed to pull that off..)

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.

Track 4. Contains an uncredited sample of American Indian drumming. I'd love to credit it... if I knew who it was.

Track 7 is about a couple of friends who seem to continually make self-destructive decisions.

Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

So he’s gone
What are you going to do now
You lived and breathed for him all these years
You can’t do without

You think you have a void
A hole to fill
But nothing…

I miss the smell of your hands
Your breath
The feel of your skin
We didn’t have to talk
Just understood
What the other was
We are of the same
But we knew
The end would come
Time is no friend
We are not healed
The pain is old
But feels new…
