As the song name implies, this is a piece for piano, cello and drum kit. I’m open to suggestions for a name.

"Like a cat" is an original song I made after losing my lovely rescue cat named FatBoy. He died after a short illness that could not be cured. He died too young. On my YouTube channel it features a clip of when I just had him. Making music is…

We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer's…

What else can be said of the last 12 months? Everybody wants a piece of my time. Get in line.
The riff came first and I walked around for days just banging it out non-stop. Hammer-ons for fun and pleasure...

Originally I had a Motown idea in mind, and I kept my stomping and clapping, but the song seemed to lend itself to a more spacey-synthey feel, so I ran with it. I also am hinting a tiny (very tiny) bit at Joe Jackson's band's backing vocal styles…

This has been updated since my initial upload. It's an ode to the pandemic.

This is a bonustrack. It's a leftover from my failed RPM 2019 when my laptop started breaking down halfway through February. I lost all the multitracks but could save some mp3-mixdowns.

I changed the title of this track. Because I couldn't get lyrics and vocal done in time I added the vocal melody I had in mind but in a comically dramatic sounding sound from the Arp Odyssey.

You’re feeling that you’re broken

Don’t you ever, ever give up
But tonight, you have it right
So, get out there…

I aimed to produce a 30 minute EP for RPM 2021 and made this 3 minute beat instead. The plan was to get as many songs early in the month without being slowed down by detail, instead I spent a month tweaking inaudible drum parameters.

John wrote this somewhere around 1972 or 1973. This is pretty much a song about the conflict of self vs. what you think is expected of you and the casualties that are impacted along the way. There was probably a lot of James Taylor influence…

This is a song about someone John met when he moved to Arizona in 1975. A brief encounter that left inspiration for a song.

Carl was inspired by Bruce Springsteen's "Western Stars" album and wrote this song. As with other of his songs, I imported his recording of him playing guitar and singing and then added a few other things. There is a lot in the words here.

This one seems destined for the dropped list. It's just kinda blah. The verses remind me of a King Crimson Projekct song and I can't remember the title. Something from Scarcity of Miracles (great album, by the way). The choruses remind me…
