One of only two tracks on the album where loops were used more than instruments, or at least as much.

I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…

i sat and i thought and i'm blocked
how did anyone ever put up with my arrogance
i sat and i thought and i'm blocked
i hope you got something positive out of this

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.

cheating is the main way
bad communicators chose to end it

it is an epidemic

i'm not afraid of being alone
i just like the company
in a forest with no one around
tears are dry and wounds don't bleed

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

you take me as is
you don't mind a work in progress

life is always better with a little bit of tension.

This is one of 3 "Auction" songs, written for yearly fundraising auctions at a UU fellowship I used to belong to. The winners for this first year, I don't remember exactly what they requested. I think they let me pretty much do what I wanted…

i just want to push through
but i keep seeing your favorite foods.
i can't get you out of my head
so i bring up some sweet epitaph
and when i said i would love you forever i meant it
but now i also love someone else
and i need to stop living…

This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…

This is a real person. He was one of the saddest millionaires I ever met.
Uploaded
The 2nd in the UU auction series. The person who won the auction wanted a song about the fellowship, the place we met on Sunday and the community. So I wrote this little kind of sing-a-long folk song.
Uploaded
A throwback to rampant sentimentality. Not for the jaded and cynical ears of the early 21st century, but for men and women traipsing around in evening attire in a black-and-white movie from the '30s.
Uploaded
Probably the single saddest song I ever wrote. This album is kind of a combination of hope and longing and loss. This one is definitely about loss.
Uploaded
Another downer, what can I say? Oddly enough though, it makes me smile.

There is a whole class of songs by singer songwriters who gush in various ways about taking the big chance, following your bliss, following your heart, living your dreams, yada yada. These songs are ALL from the point of view of those who are…

No, not those kind of angels. Hope in the dark.

This is the 3rd of the trio of UU auction songs. A love song was requested, so I wrote one based on my wife's favorite china pattern.

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

Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.

Started with three blind mice clav bassline. Added RS9 strings, vocoder. same strange loops...

Vocoder song about AI, strange loops and consciousness. Synths. E. Guitar.

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

RPM single take song. Bit of a ramble. Drums are BFD.

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

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

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??

Improvisation based very loosely on the chord progression for "Four On Six."

Don't remember the improvisation seed for this one either.

Don't remember what the improvisation seed was for this one... more of a "Let's do another Asymptotic Taste album, shall we?"

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.
