Words and music by John Nicholson - Vocal by Marthie Nel Hauptfleisch We were living our youth From sun up to sun down Holidays lasting forever In our little town We swam all day long And under the bridge at night Laughing and joking…

Song #4 of the 2022 RPM Challenge. I like this one. If this were a real album and I had to pick a single for release this one would be on the short list. Even if it is in 6/4 time and GarageBand's drummers almost always put a pointless crash…

Guess I just needed to say something ...... Well, the line's been drawn, we'll ignore and we'll invade, It's best if you run, or get on your knees and pray, After midnight, bullets…

Demo #19 for FAWM ’22. Written and produced for a 1 hour challenge based on the prompt 'medicine'.

Input the chord sequence from a Spice Rack Collective song I wrote on guitar, converted a bass take from that song into MIDI, added a couple of VSTs, programmed some drums, and added some royalty-free voice samples I found online somewhere. Pretty…

Our niece came to visit one night during February and helped me test out some new synths I'd picked up for RPM Challenge (volca Keys and Sampler 2). We added a nice drum track from the old Suzuki RPM-40 drum machine my dad gave me several years…

Pushing buttons is how I made almost all of this album. It's also how a lot of us make a living. It's also how various forms of media keep us engaged and enraged. Used volca Keys, volca Sampler, and Korg Monotron to make most of the noises…

Was playing around in VCV Rack, trying to build a generative patch so the synth would make music on its own. (Can't remember if I used one of Omri Cohen's VCV patches as a starting point, or was just following along with one of his videos. Either…

This one combines a tape loop I made, hardware synths (the volcas again), the RPM-40 drum machine, my guitar effects processor, and a few more samples I found online. Kevin Craig - Synths, tape loop, mixing.

Used Hainbach's excellent Landfill Totems VST for these noisy ruminations. Also had some samples from an LP recorded by a local high school band nearly 40 years ago, but I re-rendered this version without those samples, just in case... Kevin…

2022 RPM Challenge song number five. Meh. Rhythm guitar in your right speaker is a Gibson SG. In the left as well as the lead is a Les Paul Standard. The amp for all tracks is a Fender Bassbreaker 15. Pedals for the rhythm tracks are…

Had written this a few years back. I liked the concept, but the music didn't seem to fit. I rewrote and added a little harp.

Delirium Tremens I played the guitars, bass, synths, and arranged the drums and vocals. Thanks for listening!

Groovy funk thing. Experimenting with the Prophet Rev 2 this week as well as Logic Pro's adaptive tempo features and the Linn Drum samples.
