Probably my favourite of the tracks I made for my RPM 2022 album simply because it seemed to come together quite quickly and easily. I love the warmth of the bass and how it constrasts with the sharpness of the horns and trumpets. Vocal courtesy…

A track that definitely has elements of funkiness, but is also heavily influenced by disco and house. Features ejay vocals.

2022 RPM Challenge song number 10. I currently have 10 songs finished and the running time for those 10 songs is 36:22. I could call it complete now and feel good about myself. I still have 10 more songs to mix though, and this one is heading…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 11. I'm torn over this one. I like the riffs, I like the groove, I like the melody, but I think I hate the lyrics more than I've hated any lyric I've written in a very, very long time. This is what I get when…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 12. This one is okay, I guess. Nothing special. It has eight bars of three part harmony and I always feel good when I can pull that off. I'm not sure if it has what it takes to make the final RPM album, but…

Well, my entry for RPM 2022 went from LP to (a very short) 4 song EP but this track I think has bags of potential. It was a discarded idea from a few years ago that was lurking in my 'half-baked' Logic folder but something in it ignited my creative…

A spaceship carrying the last remnants of an ancient alien race travels the cosmos looking for a new home its passengers in deep hibernation. But some catastrophic failure affects the ship's systems. The computer is unable to wake up the passengers…

A heavy metal track... Since I don't play the guitar (or any other instrument) , all the guitars you hear were created inside my computer...

Dan was mucking around with the bass guitar. I recorded it. Then I took parts of the recording, and quickly added some drums and other parts to it. This one was just a quick job. Nothing too fancy...

Another collab with Snapper4298. An electronica track with an old school type beat.

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 14. The title pretty much says it all. I had more trouble improvising over this stupid little asshole of a song than I've maybe ever had before in my entire life. It was awful. The leads you're left with are…

Another one by Snapper4298 and me.... There is crazy.... and then there is absolutely, insanely, utterly crazy mad... Firstly, it's not even an arpeggiator at all, but never mind that. The melody is crazy, wonky!.... Apologies for the use…

Dave has been around with his guitar a few times. This will be the first time one of our collabs makes it to the RPM challenge. We left it quite last minute (Dave had all sorts of other things going on), but managed to get him on Friday 25th…

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…

Another song idea from a meme. Or, more accurately, a movement. The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century…

A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits. I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…

For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat. Keep it quiet kids…

Grant and I became obsessed with maj7 chords and that led to a lot of jazzy sounds. The title came before there were words and it seems about right. Megan really made this one shine. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp…

This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well..... Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like Time to self-assess You still want to be so…

This is what happens when the drummer sends you a bunch of jazz chords. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp.com Can’t stop falling down Can’t stop falling forward Whenever you’re around I struggle for the right…

Based on the show "The Great" on Hulu. Yeah, I know. You've never heard of it... Lead guitar by Anton Samford Backing Vox by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp.com You got the moves, you carry the cachet Always used to having…

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 kiss me softly in the evening light and like the breeze, i'll be blown away linger longer if you have the time and whisper truly that you want to stay how long, oh eternity doesn't seem to ever last forever's just a word it…

RPM 2k22 farewell my concubine there's no need to get the door but i'm bored waiting for your big surprise I can't wait for tomorrow for a heart to appear my dear and by then you know i'll be gone there are no words left no convincing…

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 been so long, without your touch been so long, I want so much to finally feel anything at all to finally feel anything at all as I brush against you walking down the hall soon all my waiting will be over patiently await the…

so glad there is a single song category for RPM. we got the band together for this song written by Kent Good. recorded 2-26-22 live at KG's Place. Kent Good guitar/vocal Martin Fox guitar PLMcDaniel drums Mitch Davidhisar keys Jason Koenig bass

...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…

Rework/Remix of a pre-existing piece by Wendingo24. The previous piece contained all the melodic drones and many of the noise and field recording layers. I added additional sound layers and also concentrated on using a number of techniques for…

If we take a moment Ignore what divides us two Just take a moment What would we see Would I see a brother Might I be your friend Might there be more that binds us hand in hand Between you and me are the same old songs Between you and me…
