somehow this song was meant to be silly, but somehow it sounds deadly serious (see jokes, that's how i roll). track for the 2010 RPM Challenge

a tricky song to describe, and maybe a little bit odd in structure, but i'm pretty happy with this one.

I have an older brother like this . . .

based on the stanislaw lem book of the same name.

not sure how i feel about some of the ideas i'm singing about in this song, but hey, i don't have time to rewrite anything.

oh it is so much fun trying to decide who's fault it is that my life has turned out so pitiful (hint, it's mine!)

My sixth piece for RPM. Composed on the line between Lydian and Locrian. Also, the beat's never quite where the meter is.

A ROUGH possible acoustic version of Crux's Polaris (we're aiming to make it for the album)

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010

Just a guitar instrumental at this point. I don't know where it's going. I can hear some lyrics, but my pen is on hiatus for now.

Rough version of my first RPM2010 songs... Hoping to have better vocals if I have time before the end of the month.

i've been having dreams about my ex girlfriend... it's strange to know someone for 8 years and then, one day, decide never to talk them again.

Not to sell this piece short, but after yesterday's grueling session, I'm just happy to have written anything at all today.

A song I wrote for my Bride this Valentine Day's. She said it was better than any present. God is Good!

Kind of nice, dancey, electro maybe. Sounds a bit like Sigur Ros or the opening theme in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001" at the beginning. Gear used: Doepfer Dark Energy (for everything)

Jonathan Thomas looks at the part of Jesus prayer in John 17

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut. Gear used: pure Alesis Micron into Audacity, no post-processing

I was mad and drunk so...yeah Gear used: Alesis Micron, Logic Drums

When i was young i had a Lamborghini Countach poster. I never drove one but this is probably how it feels like. For those who don't get it: old is cool = old's cool != oldschool

Something is coming... Gear used: Alesis Micron, E-mu XL-1

This is a far from finished version of a new song. I have lyrics for it, but haven't recorded any vocals yet. I'll repost it when it's a little more completed. For now though, I'm anxious to post it even as it is. Hope you can dig on it. -Rain

You go down to the docks, the sun just starting to come up. Its time to greet the day.

Acoustic guitar and electric guitar tell the story of a good old-fashioned snow storm.

A Prog-rock style song inspired from a series of vivid dreams that left a lingering impression with me.

laying on the beach looking up to the stars.

A love song of sorts, a" winter is finally over" song, and a song about traveling into the wild country.

Written and Recorded: Feb 14, 2010 Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity...all fingers, no picks. I'm a little under whelmed with my lack of melodic development…

Synthesizer, guitar, and space echo (Boss RE-20) combine to create controlled noise and keep it musical (that was the goal anyway).

A prog-rock style tale of a deep-space rescue mission and amnesia, that sorta thing.

A folk-rock tale about facing your fears and surviving to tell the tale.

A prog-rock style song about trying to figure it all out before it is too late.

"Face it, she's gone and not coming back, its time to move on" done in folk style with acoustic guitar and harmonica.

A folky ballad about the trials and tribulations that happen during home recording, in this particular case using a Boss microBR. ********************************************* Let me tell you all a story, most of it is true, a strange and twisted…
