The experiment here was to program a rhythm at a fairly slow tempo, then speed it up way too much.

Basically a drum-n-bass remix of my earlier song "Mike The Considerate Center For The Performing Arts".
Uploaded
Somewhat Residents-inspired. The rhythm is me breathing heavily and slapping my desk, run through a lot of reverb.

Originally my idea was to improvise half a conversation, then also improvise the other half as a different character - I ended up deciding just having half the conversation was funnier. Kinda unintentionally inspired by "Pollo Asado" by Ween.

For some of these tracks I was really thinking "what can I do to make this annoying to listen to?"
Uploaded
Man I was really into making these square-wave-sampling, dodgy bootleg 8-bit video game soundtrack pieces for a while.

I did a little "self-sampling" on this album - the cut up vocals were from my song "Nasty Asterisk". Later on I'd use the exact same backing track to cover "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mixalot, because I realized I'd inadvertently copied that bass-line.

I gave myself a rough guideline that most songs should be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long - this was both because I didn't want the album to be much longer than 45 minutes and because I knew there were going to be certain days when I wouldn…

Just before I made Feb.ZOIG, I made a noisy, experimental EP (Noisy Exploding Brain) and a minimal ambient one (Jack Shetland EP), and I think because of this, this album ended up as a mix of both styles. This song is the first one that ended…

Just a simple little tune to take me out of my minor key, noisy rock comfort zone. G Major. Who woulda thunk it?

Anything you say

a nice happy song about depression
ol' black dog is sniffing at my door

i've seen him here before
i don't want him any more

ol' black dog don't want me to be free…

The RPM Challenge does weird things to a guy, I tell you. The chorus to this one popped into my head, fully formed, at about 9:15pm on Saturday February 27. I wrote the whole thing that night, including lyrics and melody, and recorded all but…

Mad flute soloing by Amber. Plus lovely lovely looping LOVE.
Uploaded
Looping madness made as an "ease of work comparison" between Garageband 6, Garageband 10, and Logic x pro. $200 later, I kinda like Garageband 6 best out of all of them.
Uploaded
So, Logic X Pro has great arpeggiators. I was thinking along the lines of It's Not The Night by the Cars (sorry, Greg Hawkes).

I wrote a really bitchy song about a recent ex-bandie who wanted to "have her cake and eat it too" but I decided not to waste a perfectly good track by crapping bad juju on it. It has a delicious solo in the middle, best heard with headphones on

Originally written during the More Deranged Lunaticks sessions, this got cleaned up and recorded as a first-pass on the last day of RPM Challenge 2016. Expect a cleaner version soon. Howevs, the track does rock!

I wrote the riff in college back a hundred years ago. When I bought Logic the other day, I decided this was worth a revisit. Again, RPM...

I had written ¾ of this 15 years ago - and took a big step towards finishing it this week. Ahh, RPM Challenges!

I had a string of "interesting" roommates. Of course this song is about a couple of them, cobbled together. You know who you are :)

Yeah. Recorded on a Tuesday. Real original, Landry.

The title track. Always curious to hear what people think the name means.

None of us are assembled properly. Some nights are worse than others.

Stolen from "Objects in the Morror," I let this one meander from it's original arrangement.
Uploaded
Yeah. More of an indictment of my lack of playing ability than anything else.
Uploaded
Yup, I wrote it at around 2:00 a.m. I never was very good at going to bed.

Most of the tracks here were named on the spot. This one was no different. I arranged this one in November - kinda caught the mood of winter rolling in.

I had a deeply upsetting dream and made this in a day and night.
