I was thinking about unlikely superpowers one day for some reason, and just came up with this weird little story that I then decided to set to music. One Kilometer Per Year was almost this album's title.

More ambient music based around my cheap battery operated keyboard. I was trying for the sort of song that might turn up in an enchanted forest in an 8-bit RPG.
Uploaded
The good ol' battery operated keyboard again, this time with some whistling.

I personally wasn't that happy with how this turned out, but to me when it comes to RPM albums there should be no such thing as outtakes.
Uploaded
This is supposed to be sort of annoying, I swear.

If you've ever played the pretty good but questionably translated X-Men arcade game, you should recognize this title.

Like "Neon Orange Dinosaur" this is a track that I think would make a pretty good hip-hop beat.
Uploaded
A pretty little ambient loop I might go back and expand into something else someday.

One of a few pieces composed on a battery operated toy keyboard that I nicknamed the Powersockey, due to the fact that the power socket was labeled that.
Uploaded
One of a few songs on the album where the percussion is a loop of myself hitting my computer desk with my hands. I think I got a nice hypnotic vibe going with this one.

I'll admit I completely ripped off the rhythm of "Closer" by NIN here.
Uploaded
Possibly my personal favorite of everything I've written so far. I will admit that I can barely play guitar and this is the result of a lot of looping and editing.

My attempt at one of Amelia's (The Missed Connections) songs. I think I darkened one of her few upbeat sounding songs.

HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU. We thought this instrumental was just dying to be in a horror flick. The producers went with DMX instead. Really? up in here?

dont worry..its not your speakers..its the ultra intense vocals in this hot song.

yelyah - "solo piano 20100319" (live improvisation)
I have mixed feelings on releasing the song this way.
If you heard my 24 hour album ([insert "poor you" here]), 17.1 of the total 26.2 minutes was completely live/improv'd. I'll admit that…

Another live improv.
Listen as I start out with a semi-interesting left hand pattern that I totally can’t maintain independently and end up resorting to patterns I already know.

Featuring a sweet reference to the Loretto Chapel's mysterious staircase and the most wonderful mylar balloon ever manufactured (with allusion to secret promise attached).

pure draft, but I don't have time to re-record it

One of my better tunes this year I think. Lyrics were meant to be an anti-"My Way". Instead of looking back on life all proud and selfassured, this is from the viewpoint of someone who has just realized he has been living his life on other peoples…
Uploaded
I came up with lyrics for the backing track that ended up as Reset Your Head Again, but since I had grown to dislike that backingtrack I decided to just play the song with guitar and voice.
Uploaded
This piece would be so much more awesome if it had:
* a B section
* some lyrics relevant to the title

At 180bpm, it's definitely way faster than I generally write.
We'll call it "tempo creep". It started out at 140bpm, and got increased automatically to 160bpm when I imported some drums. I didn't notice it until later, and then found that 140bpm…

Le grand conundrum. How do you simultaneously improv a melody in your right hand while trying to teach your left hand a new harmonic pattern that it doth not know?
I look at people like Gabriela Montero and wonder how on earth did they ever get…

I continue to struggle with hand independence. I tried to teach myself the left hand pattern that starts the song, so that I could riff against it. But no. Just couldn’t get it. So I decided to switch to block chords for the actual melody improvisation…

My second [songfight.org](songfight.org) song.
Once again, I knew about the song title for the song fight in advance, but waited for the last day to actually write/produce the whole thing.
Uploaded
A change up for me in that there’s no damper pedal on this one.
Have I mentioned how bloody difficult it is to operate a damper pedal whilst sitting on a balance ball? Don’t try this at home folks!

Another live improv. All black keys. Gotta love ‘em.

One movement from the project done with Zofia Dowgiallo. She did most of the job - played (improvised) music. I had only provided the computer part of the project. :-)

The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)

I was drinking one night -- that's how most of my stories start -- thinking about somebody I used to love. This is raw, no effects, recorded on a single mic.

Just something written while I was bored. I tend to do this alot when I am bored. I should probably get rid of that minute of silence at the end...sorry about that.

60% deliberate + 40% improv = 100% imperfect playing

What's strange to me is that sometimes when I play back these live improvs, I hear a lot more mistakes than I remember actually making.
And it's quite possible that it's not in my head.
I already noticed that my digital piano treats really quiet…

I never did get the backwards piano crescendo quite how I wanted it. I guess it would be one big argument for working with it as an audio file, rather than an NNXT set to play a sample backwards.
Also, the timing at the end feels screwy. My guess…

Today, I did a live improv basically because I had to.
For some history, back when I was doing song-a-day in August, I was generally doing my daily song as the last thing of the day. It worked well. It gave me a nearly a full day to come up with…

al embrujo incomparable de su sol,
todos vuelven al rincón donde vivieron,
donde acaso floreció más de un amor.
Bajo el árbol solitario…
