2022 RPM Challenge song number 15. Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…

RPM 2k22 it's all you know so why don't you show me just how it's done i'm mesmerized the way that you lie mostly to yourself as if you're someone else it's killing you these things that you do to simply remain not breaking ground…

Some work with a new collab partner: Wendingo24 from Freesound.org One of 2 remixes I have created based on some earlier recordings by Wendingo24. He provided the acoustic guitar at the start of the track (which I also manipulated to sound like…

RPM 2k22 sigh waiting through the night but you're not coming over thought you were my lover same every night and day every single moment now you have to own it sighing, the emptiness the last caress, fading away crying, the tears…

RPM 2k22 you can't remember anything tonight cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling whenever all seems hopeless try to remember all…

RPM 2k22 down goes the sun so lay down your head and follow it the penitent one cries in his sleep cause there's no release tear down this wall piece by tiny piece faithful through it all but there's no release so little revealed…

...and this is version #2, a completely different take on remixing an earlier piece by Wendingo24. This one is much more in line with the initial piece. Although I still wanted to include electric guitar, this piece is mostly acoustic. Very cosy…

This is how these things start My sad excuse for a work of art Put in the effort, set the pace Hardly anyone listens anyways Years of this takes its toll Only few ever know All this work done in haste A whole month gone to waste

If I'm out of words to brighten up your day All that's left of us is rust and decay Remember these moments more than just alive Think of these times when we thrived If the sun ceases to shine forever runs out of time If we're all out…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 16. This one is all right. I'm not quite ready to say it's a lock for making the final album but it's close. If nothing else, the rhythm guitar part is fun to play and the vocals are nice and shouty. I used…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 17. Now we're talking. I like this one a lot. My self criticism are valid, the melody in the verse is too la di da sing songy, and I shouldn't have used a Big Muff fuzz pedal on the rhythm tracks (too much bass…

electric upright bass fingered and bowed
