Matt Ferrara doesn't get enough love around here. He's a brilliant arranger and lyricist and it's rare, if ever, that someone covers one of his songs. So I set out to correct that. As usual, it's faster than the original because, well, it's…

Meditative three-part arctic ambient suite, with lots of droning and bells.

It's a full Strawberry Moon.

Cover of one of my favourite RPMers. Tried to just make it different and have fun with it. This was definitely one of the stand out tunes this year. Didn't even want to touch it as a cover but I could not help myself. Hope Wilsun likes it…

Yet another from the very creative period in the summer of 2016... I recall I had time on my hands! The original bass track was done on my Fender Jazz 'Geddy Lee' and sounded great. Sadly, several versions of Logic Pro later resulted in the file…

When you C reach the Em point When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G You C feel it Em inside When it F becomes so C clear There’s Am nothing that G you can C do F Hold on to G memories…

So the lyrics come from another age, but they sounded so relevant to the recent lockdown world, that I decided to stitch them into a completely different track. So, there ya go!

Ambient acoustic guitar looping..DADGCC tuning

i recorded three one-minute takes and played them on top of each other title translates to "vulgar display of power"

Don't you forget to feed the machine It's why you're here You're here to serve not to be seen You are replaceable You won't be missed Some day it will be as if you Never did exist You're here to feel A little joy You're here to…

as the title says

For love and lovers

(A song from a parent to a child) You get yourself a brand new lifetime I tried to give you a compass and a map Nothing in life feels so good as your learner’s permit Something that makes you so happy Maybe it shouldn’t be allowed You…

Whistling a tune, I walk up to the house and meet a cat on the doorstep. We are going to have supper, and at this time a blizzard begins. April. 05.04.2021, live recording.

This is a long one - a big old late night jam on just about every keyboard/synth that I own. This one goes from ambient to aggressive to a soft exit.

instrumental

Combination of my track As the Clouds Roll Away with Struk String Rambul by Coelocanth, both of which were submitted to Sound-In (as was this) for 4-11/3/2021. No alteration was made to either track before or after combining.

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.

Another one where the riff came first, on the last day of RPM 2020 actually. Before all the craziness struck. I thought to myself "Oh self! That's a good riff! I will need to revisit it next year for RPM 2021." So I did. It also has a call-back…

Wrote and recorded in roughly an hour just before dawn last day of Feb (the 4:00 AM mentioned in the lyric)

This is Sean S's baby, and Tom G and Sean H love it. Check it out.

RPM 2021 Vocals - Ben Parks, Violin - Laurel Morgan Parks, Solo Guitar - Stan Jones Look inside your heart there's a place to start where your soul is free take a glance inside where your feelings hide buried there you will see just…

Snippets from around a long jam, attempted to make something tolerable

Kicked in the Face with a distortion pedal.

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

Otherside T. Boudreau It’s a lazy day Nothing in my way And I swing and I and I sway just like the laundry out on the line I hum a little tune One that reminds me of you Perhaps a bit too soon since I was just getting used to living…

Karma Working Overtime T Boudreau I can see that your tired and uninspired A bit too wired to sleep You’ve pondered all there is to wonder I bet you’ve counted every sheep And all those endless ear worms in your mind That's karma working…
