Inspired by the David Brooks book "Bobos in Paradise" and an article I read on the so-called "Prosperity Gospel", which is one of the weirder religious movements I've heard of.

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.
Written and recorded less the 48 hours before the end of the RPM challenge deadline. I wonder why.
Is this our 23rd hour
Sixty minutes to go
Are we counting the seconds…

Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.

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.

There are several theories concerning the extinction of Neanderthal humans 30,000 years ago. I am struck by the replacement of skilled hunters by aggressive agriculturists -- we're pretty much Cain, aren't we?

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.

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…

Title track from my RPM 2010 album, entitled "The Loudest Silence".

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.

flute/bass/drums, kinda jazzy, upbeat
I admit, the title has nothing to do with the piece. It’s a reference to the morning I had. Yelyah v. Squirrel.

It seems that any time I feel confident about being able to continue doing a song a day, I jinx my next day.

What's weird is that I didn't feel the rush of adrenaline until after I had finished recording the vocals. At 12:59 CST.

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
Just find another
Get another one
It’s easy to find one to take his place
You think you have a void
A hole to fill
But nothing…

Old school or futurejazz?
Extreme games or simply spazz?
Gritty glitches with pretty snatches

I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel

my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…

This is an updated vocal of the song I wrote during FAWM/RPM.
I *had* thought that this was an improvement but when I listened to it later that night, it ended up just sounding like a *chorus* of flat-ness.
