If David Bowie played lots of Legend of Zelda as a kid...

i have replaced the old file with this as it is more compatible num

Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.

My re-imagining of a piece by kjwise as a Harold Budd/Brian Eno-ish collaboration.

A rewrite and expansion of one of my original songs, from a time when I was distrustful of things like drum samples and dynamics. ;P I don't mind discouraging those ninety-nine out of a hundred listeners with noisy glitchiness if it suits the…

(5 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) The conclusion of my mid-album epic. The last two minutes or so were highly influenced by Muse - years ago I spent a lot of time listening to their album, "The Origin of Symmetry" and it has affected both my singing…

(4 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) That's an ASCII picture of a Kuriboh, those lovable, useless fluffballs from Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't watch the show but I played some of the games for the GBA and the things's just so cute.

(3 of 5 of "Tree Haus" cycle) This was meant to be a 30 second interlude but grew into a song of its own; now I find it one of the two "perfect" tracks on the album.

(2 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I wrote this song, originally to be called "Tree House", years and years ago, piece by piece, just by jamming away on my keyboard and wailing. It never acquired lyrics, but then, the only thing I find less important…

(1 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I regret not doing more about the stodginess of this song - it's the lowpoint of the album to me. Perhaps you disagree but I still wince my way through this. Alas.

Here's the first time you hear the "Love ZZZV" theme reprised in a slightly different way. Then we morph into a style someone described to me as being medieval. Me, I'm not convinced they liked noise interludes all those centuries ago...

This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word. Unappeasable: She’s so unappeasable I don’t think that she’s feasible. Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable but she can’t see my point of view. She’s blind…

Saw a dude outside Tesco giving a good old religious rant. It was actually pretty decent advice, not fire and brimstone stuff. So I recorded him and made this.

Been listening to far too much Black Devil. This is my tribute.

Was learning a Chaimaria song and getting better at palm muting. This is the result.

somewhere close to country-pop land

lush, earthy ballad

almost modern, commercial rock sounding

rawk. mostly acoustic

it is a short experiment in automatic music creation. a choice is made to use a major pentatonic scale. this happy creature is born. he is young, and small. however he has big feet. it is comical music? it makes you smile? it is bigger version…

This track is an outtake from my Mellotronic EP. It was originally going to be the lead track on that EP, but as the concept for the EP gelled, this track just didn't seem to fit (despite the Mellotron). It's currently under consideration as the…

*Rap/Hip-hop with glitchy electronic beats.* It's 20 years since this started up Let me tell you how it was: a 4-track Radio Shack tape deck Hissing overdubs I tried to get it down Record what I had to say I thought I had all the time…

Started recording this with no idea what to do with the sound. Wound up with three different vocal takes to choose from, didn't like any of them, used all of them.

One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."

Side 2 of my virtual record. It's a long, mostly instrumental suite (a 'Lounge Suite' - I know that's corny but I just cant resist:) The different sections run as follows: Opposite Attractions Sloppy Jo Too Many Martinis Prefix/Suffix A Cup of…

A song that ended up in an entirely different place than from where it began. It was meant to have a dark 'David Gray' kind of feel, but ended up being the love child of 'Love and Rockets' and 'Stars on 45.'

A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…

This song has been hobbling around half-written in my psyche for eons, and it took the RPM Challenge to finally finish it! Like many of my generation, my first peek into the world of women (and what they looked like under their clothes) was National…

The Aliens are landing and a doomsaying prophet is declaring it the end of the world!
