Same chords as The Classroom. More computer voiceover work. The little pause before "finished" at the end always unsettles me.

Guitar part is me trying out my new looping pedal.
Uploaded
Background sounds = microphone into guitar pedal board with plenty of delay.
Uploaded
The background sounds remind me queasily of the "Mickey Mouse Nose" (nitrous oxide, I guess?) used to anesthetize me before dental procedures as a kid.
Uploaded
I'm proud of this one, but it does not make me happy.
Uploaded
Vocal bits are excerpts from Charles Fort's description on Wikipedia or from his works (available from Project Gutenberg). While watching some horror movie late in February 2015, I suddenly had an itch to play something long and slow. Used 5-string…

Coulrophobia = fear of clowns. *shudder* Created in FL Studio.

Parametric plugin drums plus guitar and bass. Clearly remember watching the rare Alabama snow fall into the light from our front porch, right under the double windows in my office/studio. The image has nothing to do with the track or the title…
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums, plus 5-string bass and Squier Strat copy. Might have recorded an acoustic guitar track as well, but it didn't work as well as the electric track, and the "song" sounded too busy with both.
Uploaded
Recorded on my 1-string cat head diddley bow, which was made by Johnny Lowebow in Memphis, TN.
Uploaded
Programmed drums, baritone guitar, and 6-string electric. Kinda boring, but it's only a minute and a half. :)
Uploaded
Mandolin, acoustic guitar, and 5-string electric bass. Obviously, my guitar strumming cannot keep up with my mandolin picking.
Uploaded
Built from 4 measures of sheet music appearing in the issue of Fortean Times used for inspiration. Created in FL Studio.
Uploaded
Acoustic guitar, bowed psaltery, and various percussion. It took longer to tune the psaltery than to stumble through 3-4 takes of the simplistic melody.
Uploaded
Collage of leftovers from the recording sessions for this album and the corresponding Spice Rack Collective album, Could Have Done Better.
Uploaded
The happiest-sounding thing I've ever recorded, as far as I can remember. Played on my new (at the time) acoustic guitar, upright bass, and thrift-store student-model bells.
Uploaded
Started with a programmed cello part that I forgot to unmute when I exported the WAV and MP3 files. Ah, well.
Uploaded
I picture three rickety automatons, their paint cracked and faded, dancing near each other in a dusty "futuristic" cabaret that humans have not visited in a couple of decades. The figures should dance together, but their hands rest a few inches…
Uploaded
Programmed drums, one of my bass guitars, and my flat-black Epiphone Explorer.
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums and my old Ibanez shredder guitar.
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums and either my new seafoam Squier Strat copy, or the last hurrah for the old Fernandes Strat copy that I sold back to its original owner.
Uploaded
Meh. Quick attempt to emulate the better drone track from 2011. Loud and feedback-y, but dull. Added 3 minutes to the runtime, so there's that.
Uploaded
My wife found me a creepy picture of a demented looking rabbit and cat playing banjos, so I tried to imagine what song they were playing. Then I added some cursing.
Uploaded
Electronic track based on the verbose message that displays when one enters an incorrect password in our corporate time tracking system.
Uploaded
Electronic track cut short by the imaginary (and irascible) electronic recording engineer that I like to think lives in my computer.
Uploaded
Generated in FL Studio. I cracked myself up thinking about each electronic instrument being played by a separate AI or robot in an electronic band.
Uploaded
My annoying voice speaking through a mic attached to a guitar multi-effects processor while I cycle through presets.
Uploaded
Collage of bits and scraps from other tracks. Includes an old third- or fourth-hand drum machine from the 80s.
Uploaded
another fretless improv done in short phrases and assembled in Loopy HD.
Uploaded
Borrowed my dad's Dobro and fumbled through part of the circle of fifths on my acoustic guitar.
Uploaded
More parametric plugin drums with some "just making sure the computer will record the guitar" bits pasted in.
Uploaded
Testing the MIDI-to-USB cable from my cheapie keyboard into FL Studio.
Uploaded
Dorked around with the same circle-of-fifths thing while waiting for people to show up to a jam session. (They didn't.)
Uploaded
Hooked up my old Casio keyboard to see if it still worked and if I could record it into the computer.
Uploaded
1980s Casio keyboard again, with some crappy guitar added.
Uploaded
Two riffs on guitar and bass, over programmed drums.
Uploaded
Programmed the drum part on my old Kawai drum machine for a buddy back in 1995. Managed to import into FL Studio, so I wrote a crappy guitar part to celebrate.
Uploaded
Messing around with the settings for the drum plugin. Didn't think to disable the miscellaneous percussion settings, and ended up liking them.
Uploaded
When learning this guitar part, my bandmate asked me, "Do you write anything that's not weird?" (or something to that effect). No, sir. I do not.
Uploaded
Recorded myself learning ukulele chords, then pasted it on a busy parametric drum track.
Uploaded
One of the happier-sounding things I've ever come up with. Ukulele and upright bass.
Uploaded
Set the parametric drum plugin to "all fills/solos" and pasted an unrelated bass part over it. ("Xenochrony" is a Zappa-ism.)
Uploaded
Stiff, awkward live drums with an unrelated guitar part pasted over them.
Uploaded
short piece created in Loopy HD, fretless guitar
Uploaded
Used my acoustic guitar and upright bass, and my dad's banjo.
Uploaded
FL Studio drums and bass, with live guitars. Might be less dull with words, but then it *is* unfinished...
Uploaded
Drums recorded with Zoom Handy H2. Guitars, bass, and shouts recorded into the computer.
Uploaded
FL Studio for the music. Number station recordings taken from the Conet Project.
Uploaded
Written in FL Studio. There was originally going to be a guitar solo. I'm glad I ran out of time.
Uploaded
Recorded the drum parts for another RPM Challenge project, but ended up not sending them.
Uploaded
One of my prouder RPM moments. A buddy told me, "You really captured what it feels like to have bad tinnitus." Exactly what I was going for!
Uploaded
This one makes me happy and sad in about equal measure.
Uploaded
A little heavy with the reverb, but it makes sense in context, I guess.

The finished product! Oldest daughter shines!
We don't always see eye to eye
And there are some days I don't know how we get by
We spend so much time caught in the race
Gotta slow down the pace
When did the river get so wide

Snow on the ground. Wind and temperatures below zero. It's time for another coffee table evening.

Originally left off of my RPM 2013 album, I've decided to post it. I supposed time has a way of making one comfortable with things. Probably inspired by a mid-life crisis moment or a bad day at work.

Back in the 80's I heard this recording by a Japanese New Age band. I had never heard anything like it. They fused traditional sounds with a more contemporary sound. So this past week I attempted to create a piece based on my memory of it. I began…
