My evening challenge: compose and record a piece in an evening. Song titles will reflect the time of day when the day's light slips into the darkness of night.

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

Tried a different way to come up with a lead line. I kind of like the way it turned out. Kind of Bowie-ish. Love to hear some feed back.

more bioelectrophilia... titi monkeys, sakis, toucans...

Another song in the key of Glu. I know I called the theme was [glubot for a day](http://alonetone.com/forums/togethertone/topics/glubot-for-a-day). Maybe glubot for a week?

Yes, I am dark sometimes. Aren't we all? Don't listen to closely, just turn this one up and lose yourself in the tones.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

This is one from the album "Hide" (2003)I Hope you enjoy it :)

You know when you're creating something and it comes out exactly how you wanted it, and then it becomes you favorite? This one is still my favorite and has not been dethroned yet. The song is all by me - words, vocals, bass, the "guitar…

The first version. This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand. ![mbira](http://img.skitch.com/20090309-qan7jaha9gtbge23e6d3aqh2td…

this song was inspired from an ee cummings poem. it was composed for rpm 2009. lyrics: i'll tell you a dream i had once up in the sky blue everything flying away a kite on a string i didn't have anything i was cool you were warm…

Remedies are funny things. You want to get better but you don't want to change. This is now a minimally tidied up version of this track 18/3/09

Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely. These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now... This one is meant…

I've been listening to early '70's era Eric Clapton quite a bit lately, came up with a riff and tried to write a song that sounds like it could be an outtake from Derek and the Dominoes or 461 Ocean Boulevard.

A signal propagating outwards into infinity, slowly fading away.

From France: the jogging theme from "Punch-Out"

Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.

Distorted synths and drums, with some grit and an e. e. cummings poem read by the man himself. I am particularly fond of how this one came together, especially at the end.

Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…

A very simple experiment with layered electric guitars and some laidback beats. Copyright © 2009 Tiago Castro Henriques, some rights reserved (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/).

This song was recorded illegally. Please don't rat us out.

reloaded this in 44.1 a pedal steel gtr improv

that is not a sample you hear in the background, it is the dryer going. leave it in? okay, sure i'll leave it in. it's these artistic decisions we're all forced to make.

this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him? i usually play this on guitar, but for the RPM Challenge, i wanted to do it electronically…

I read Carla Zilbersmith's blog, carlamuses.blogspot.com, which inspired the song. She's rather inspiring herself.

A fantastical farcical Irish story-song. Broadway Irish.

you tell me what you want you tell what you need i cant give you nothing honey but this pretty little seed where has the sun gone and is it gone forever will it come back someday should we just give it some time i ask you what…

Another one without lyrics. The title was my workingtitle. And I just thought it was a funny title (I think Rage Against the Machine is kind of silly) I quite like some of the sounds on this one (it's a Poly 800 through an Electro Harmonix Big…

A well of thoughts continues, but who is it dreaming in the white room? Midnight has drifted away, and we're headed towards the dawn of the next day.

Hurtling towards oblivion thanks to a giant catapult owned by a foul-mouthed voodoo child, he sends a final lewd finger gesture back to the world he sought escape from. Unbeknownst to him, Voodoo Boy may have a vested interest in using him…

Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw. We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)
