#RPM Challenge 2013#
"Under Watchful Eyes" is my 10th song for the RPM Challenge 2013. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
The adjoining video was filmed February 6, 2013 along the Mississippi River near Red Wing Minnesota (approximately…

Just a quick render example for a friend, sm57 into Reaper, bit of Danzig's shopping list, bit of sibilant phrasing.

I really don't have anything to say about this one except it's the ninth song finished for the 2013 RPM/FAWM.
Uploaded
Lots of interesting tidbits about this song. It was the first song I worked on this year. I wrote the piano/bass/drums while sitting in the car in an Indian restaurant parking lot. It was the first time I set out to write an instrumental (fail…
Uploaded
i didn't set out to make this a super basic recording, but I only used five tracks (not counting the piano that I left muted during the mix). No doubling, no harmonies, no shifting parts around. Nothing.
Uploaded
A happy little ditty about flaming death from above.
Uploaded
I felt compelled to have at least one song that did not use any computerized instruments. This is two tracks of voice and three tracks of guitars. Just me.
Uploaded
...and we finish the 2013 RPM/FAWM bonanza with yet another big, dumb rocker. I'm finished!

Uploaded
I actually wrote this awhile back, but I've wanted to re-arrange it and record it with better quality, so here it is. Everything is me except the drums which are loops.
Uploaded
I played the electric guitar, (Peavey), my Dean bass, and my Crystal synth VSTi(love that thing!). I arranged the drums from loops. I recorded in Reaper on my iMac.
Uploaded
Straight up Texas-Style blues, by way of Georgia. I played the guitars and bass. The drums are from loops. Recorded in Reaper, mastered in Audacity, on my iMac.

Guitar - me
Bass - me
Keys - me
Percussion - loops
I used My new Yamaha Pacifica 112V electric guitar, my Dean bass, and Alchemy synth.
Uploaded
Kind of a cross between a surf tune and an indie rock instrumental.
I played the rhythm and lead guitars, and bass guitar. Used loops for the drums and vox. Recorded in Reaper.
Uploaded
Fingerpicked guitars in 2 different tunings, acoustic guitar solo, with a moog VSTi.
Uploaded
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.

2 tracks rhythm guitar, one sounds like an organ
one track lead guitar
bass
maniacal laughing
drums from loops

Glitchy Drums, Weird guitar by me and bass by me.
Uploaded
Dark electronica. Percussion loops that I morphed, and sounds generated from the Alchemy Synth VSTi.
Uploaded
I wrote this one several years ago, but never recorded it, so it seemed like a good way to get a jump start on RPM2013.
Uploaded
Another old tune... from 2004 I think. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
I think I wrote enough that I can play it consistently this way, but I like this piece as a jam framework. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)
Uploaded
No, the title isn't really about anything. Also tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC
Uploaded
Who says everything in DADGAD has to sound happy and Celtic?
Uploaded
For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.
Uploaded
This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.

Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past

But I forget everything I'm told…

The idea of this song has been percolating in the back of my head since, oh, November 2011. I've been putting off getting it down for far too long.
Uploaded
Written by Nathan and Aaron Robbins. Entirely too chipper for its own good.
Uploaded
Nathan Robbins and Kevin Callahan tune from way back, arranged more or less as how I play it when I do my acoustic thing.
Uploaded
One of mine, with arrangement by Nathan Robbins. Well, he did it on piano, so I kinda copied his arrangement. And changed it. So, kind of Nathan-esque.
Uploaded
Older song, reworked string section, and now with a muted trumpet line by the phenomenal Sam Bunker.
Uploaded
Originally from 2000 or so, recorded on the old StarMax mac clone waaaay back. Redid just about everything in the intervening years, including new vocals today.
Uploaded
Frequent collaborator Bryn Corbett aka Particledots sent me manipulated electric piano tracks and I a returned a mix and stems with multiple Pro-One tracks from which he created the final mix. He wields a mean blender.
Uploaded
I recorded a four track synth piece with Chris Cochrane in mind. We went into my studio together and he laid down 4 tracks of electric guitar in response to my piece - which I later edited and mixed.
Uploaded
David Thomas sent me an electronic drum piece that had great space and possibilities to work with. I found myself working in a drone mode to counter his more active parts.
Uploaded
Yves Baar sent me a midi piano file from Belgium and I found that if I slowed it down 20% and converted the piano to trombone and french horns that I was able to work closely with the synth - doubling and countering his melody.

Jazzy hard rock piece from my first album, Offerings.
