RPM 2010 track. Opener for "The Loudest Silence" album. Full songname is "Of Bad Sectors In The Human Mind".

The turning point for my RPM Challenge recordings this year - I'd planned out a bunch of songs to record with just vocals and an acoustic. After several of these sketches presented themselves to my brain, I threw the old plan out.

I might have put a few harmonies on this one...

Emotions get the best of me sometimes and this is what comes of it.... Gotta pour out my heart. i loved you i did but i had to let you go and i chose again and again to let it die i died again and again a love so strong a pain so…

How good it is when I feel whole, complete, not lacking anything at all. And i feel this way when I am with you... nothing needs to be said, i can just sit and be still.

This one could use re-mixing, but I'm going to leave it as is for now. This should be track 6 on "They Are Killers."

The last track from my RPM Challenge album, "The Loudest Silence". The story is loosely based on something I read, but there's a lot of poetic interpretation involved. It deals with people who spend a lot of time staring at the stars - like the…

Like Sade, only male, with a scratchy voice, and no breath control, and often off pitch... but other than that, Like Sade Just trying to complete the RPM 2010 Challenge.

I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…

Written and Recorded: Feb 21, 2010 Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGBE - Capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity...all fingers, no picks.

Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy. This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…

Welcome to the dark side. . .

Least favorite of this year's RPM output so far...

You coulda told me there was a stone in it

Elizabethan nonsense

whispering pines of ambigousness

Whisky in the Jar, my way.

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

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…

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. I think this song has grown on me in the last few days. I'm diggin' it. I hope you all do too. I wanted to hurry up and get the demo out for Valentine's Day. Finished at 3:05am. Wha whoooo! I need to…

An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family. One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me...... Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…

This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here. This is the moment this is the moment that i've been waiting for I've been waiting for the dawn and the dawn is coming soon

A pretty little ditty.

When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like. The initial…

Something you don't often hear from me and that's straight drummin'. On this track I left the original L/R kit track because it just sounded more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…

Part nine of the ten-part suite. The tracks segue continuously, so downloading them all and listening to them together is the intended experience. Thanks for checking it out!

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

This one speaks for itself ... just a wish for a simple life ... in peace

I deleted this a while ago I think. Just found it on a CD and decided to put it back up for your listening pleasure. It demonstrates the proper usage of a washboard!

Choral Experiment 2010

The drums on this track were played on a garage sale set of kiddie drums I bought for my son,they sound surprisingly good considering I recorded them with one SM57 mic.This was one of my first attempts at playing real drums on a track,about 5…

You say the feeling's gone And that you can't go on Well that doesn't quite ring true I thought I knew the real You And if I can't live with you I can't live with me Then there's nothin' left Oh can't you see It's more than a feeling More than…

As I shy away from water I close my lungs to air I climb outside of my own head now So I can forget what's there Then I laugh out loud in sorrow I quietly cry for joy Till I turn my eyes toward the starry sky And remember love once…

This song is the intro part of my epic: the sixteen numbered tracks are all part of one song and flow into one another without any pause.
