This was created for fun with as an RPM Challenge album collaboration with a students in my HS music class. Shout outs to Tyler and Nazir!!!

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 15 becomes finished song number 16. This one is okay. Better than most of the garbage I've piled up this year. I think it will make the final album, but it's sort of on the bubble. I'll bury it in the middle…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 17 becomes finished song number 15. I tried to be screwy and make the verses the more developed section than the chorus. Just for something different. There are vocal harmonies in the verses but not in the chorus…

The Pads of Paddington is a set of 2 pieces (this being the 2nd one). I took inspiration from train sounds/noises. For this second piece, I used actual recordings of train sounds made by me with my faithful Zoom H1 recorder. For this piece…

Are they friendly?

Translate this transmission. Patch through. Channel 31.

Some nights are colder than others...

Recorded in 2004, in an old cabin in rural NC. I don’t know why the fake accent.

Recorded in 2006 in Ashland OR. This was meant to be the backing track for a more complete song, of which all I can remember is the line “All I want to do / Is get stoned and read Harper’s”. Recorded in an airstream trailer.

Recorded in 2006 in Ashland OR, in an Airstream trailer I lived in for a summer. I barely had electricity so it’s a miracle I even got this much recorded.

Recorded in Denver in 2002. I sound like I’m pitching a song to Bread, but I don’t know how I would have liked that comment at the time.

Recorded in Denver in 2002, but I don’t remember it.

Recorded in 2001. The notes on the tape case say Moab.

Recorded in 2001 in an empty apartment in Mesa AZ. The drum kit is a cardboard box and a tambourine. The guitar is an acoustic and I’m sure I had to do some workaround to get it to sound like this.

Everything in order. Every meaningful vibration in sync.

Finally. Time to get back home for a little rest and relaxation. For now at least.

I can hear it working. Always working. Toiling away.

There's always something; something, out there...

Recorded 28 FEB 2024 for the RPM Challenge event.

Based on the novel by Sasa Stanisic. Pretty sure this was the first song I wrote on the ukulele.

She comes around to steal the day. When she comes around, she won’t behave. and all good people kneel and pray. cause she never frowns at a chance to play. Planets collide and stars expire. And I blame that girl for bringing us fire…

Particles. Charged particles everywhere...

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 12 becomes finished song number 14. I can't tell how I feel about this one. Do I hate it or do I mostly not like it. I'm on the fence. Guitars are a Les Paul Custom for the rhythm tracks and an ES-335 Pro…

Slowly pumping with time.

Everything in proper place. Thanks for watching.

Every story has to start somewhere.

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 11 becomes finished song number 13. This one is okay. We'll say it's on the bubble as far as making the final RPM Challenge submission is concerned. I like the vocal harmony at the end and unlike most of the…

Divided we fall.

Broken Promises to Myself.

2024 RPM Challenge Song idea number 10 is finished song number 12. Nope. This one's a pig. Rhythm guitar signal chain: Les Paul Custom -> Klon KTR -> Keeley D&M Drive -> Fender Bassbreaker 15 and Vox MV50, both direct output…

Phew! Song 10 of my RPM 2024 done. Well, this is more of an experimental piece...I threw a bit of everything in...prophet synth, electric guitar, and even some crowd noise (I loved it when Bjork did that so...). The power cutout just as I was…

The 14th song for the 2024 FAWM challenge. A bluesy rocker. A stream of consciousness thing. Rolled tape (aka hit record on my phone) to a blues progression and sang whatever lyrics popped into my head. Its loud and raw, overloaded my phone mic…

from the album FULL MINGO vocals Ash Reynolds sax Matt Crandall mastering Dave Storms more than a moment and it's gone again less than a feeling but i'm numb to it bathed in the sunlight, one more time we've got to try hey remember…

Korg Volca rack, Minibrute 2, microfreak, guitar improv.

2024 RPM Challenge song idea number 18 becomes finished song number 11. This one might make the final album. Then again, it might not. I'm torn. It's okay, but is it okay enough? Rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Custom. Leads are an ES…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number seven becomes complete song number 10. Ten songs down. We have enough for a full RPM Challenge album. Nice! Too bad the milestone comes from this total piece of crap burger. Sorry about that. Rhythm guitars…

Feeling like a pawn in everyone else's life. Kinda of a stream of consciousness thing in writing the lyrics, just wrote down what popped into my head. Just a pawn in God's world Just another pretty girl Just trying to be what she wasn't…

“Shining Light” acoustic cover recorded for an equipment test (Seagull S6, built-in microphone on 2015 iPad Pro gen 1). “Shining Light” written by T. Wheeler, originally by Ash.

2024 RPM Challenge song idea number eight becomes finished song number nine. I usually place songs into one of three buckets as I finish mixing them. The A-list bucket is songs that are good enough to make the final album. The B-list is songs…
