About twenty billion years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Roland's D50 was new, I found this patch called "spanisheart" and plunked down a new-agey tune. Which I promptly forgot about for years. Every now and then, I catch myself playing…

Another really old song from the early 90s. My lyrics were very obtuse back then (or just plain nonsensical).

A pop song about on-lane dating. Inspired by a friend, not auto-biographical. Not one of my best.

The is a song a wrote a long time ago, circa 1993, before I know how to write songs. Recorded 1999.

Naively conceived, written and published in February 2012 for "Contemporary Chamber Music" (vol.1), an RPM12 album. The titles of the pieces in album are follow each other in a certain order - see album description.

or #8 for this years rpm

Oh, more songs from my torrid past! Written about a very angry young woman who kept making excuses about her excuses.

I don't remember much about this song

I wrote this about a very-now-ex-girlfriend somewhere back in the '90s. People seem to like it (actually, there's been a comparison to Duncan Sheik made several times by several people - I'll take it!) Essentially me being pissy :)

My friend Vyv requested I write a song about penguins, so here it is. (well, it doesn't say much about penguins - but it does mention them!)

This is a song about questions, especially after experiencing the loss of someone special.....here are the lyrics: Down past the bridge By Saint Peter‘s church She hums a prayer Her eyes blue and bare She’s longing for comfort…

The last song for the challenge

Special thanks to Dave Desoucey for the bass track.

Looking At The Pictures On The Wall.......

Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC. It's technically "Tobias The Battery-Powered Hermit", but the field wasn't long enough. =)

Part Of Kitchen Sink, the RPM 2012 album for AMUC. It started out as a tribute to the old sci-fi movie, "The Quiet Earth", and became something else. Freesound samples used: 42190__digifishmusic__siiiilence.wav 20765__radian__sorrysorry…

From RPM 2012 album, "The Kitchen Sink" First track - title comes from an unintended vocal sample. 2/26/12 MPT: I already uploaded a fresh copy. I wanted it to sound like a vocal ensemble in a dumpster, but I might have initially gone overkill…

Revisiting this track too. For some unknown reason, the church across the street from my former abode occasionally rang their bell at 7:30 in the morning. Not every Sunday. Come to think, Sunday wasn't the exclusive day either. At any rate…

Here's another little something that I somehow got sidetracked on posting.... Thanks for the jams Norm! One of these days I'll bounce something fresh your way....

Re-recording of an old song I'd originally written for an even older band, Buckle. I think Buckle's been done now for almost eighteen years, so it may be safe to dust this off now and expose it to light again.

from the dusty dance halls of the past a reverie

Yes, it's basically me noodling...

I'm not really sure how this came about, I borrowed some lyrics from Angie Fights Crime and added a reggae sound and a remix to "The Surreal Age of the Naked Lemon" which I'm doing for the Rmp challenge and this sort of popped out ... The…

The wind roars. The night is pitch-black. The rails wet. Ideal. I thought it would be harder. Perhaps it is only as hard as one deems it to be. It approaches. I am terrified, but it needs to be done. I let out everything that is human, as a…

~for all the elves out of nowhere~ She dances, gracefully moving along a branch of the tree elf. She is dancing on the moon's path, alone... Galadriel was proud, strong, and selfwilled... From her earliest years she had a marvellous gift of…

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.

Some days seem longer than others,no body phones,no body calls round,what do you do? write a song i guess!

A very old Status Quo song,it rocks!

Long live Lemmy,Motorhead and all who sail in her!

An old rocker,rough n ready to go!

originally written and performed by Chris Cornell.

“This Change”: (Richard Hardrick) Everything change oceans of life, fight against death (hum) I'm only a shade (afraid) I' m trying to find my own way to survive I'm better hide away, far away. I can't resist this change sky or sea…

This is my attempt at afro-pop... The video was produced by a friend of mine, Skot McCall, via online collaboration...

playing with my eyes closed rpm #4 2012 from about 2 min on it's a bit hot,, if anyone has some suggestions on how to balance the range, i would appreciate it r

Some new material! This album is not yet complete but I thought I'd share this track. I'm very proud of this one. An aggressive start with an emotional end. Please share your thoughts. -Mike

i suppose this one is a lullaby, two uke tracks and 1 vocal track lots of background noise including my sinuses. as darkness falls all around is silent now you settle down and go to sleep a darkness falls sweet dreams my little one sweet dreams…

This song is inspired by the struggles currently going on in Syria....here are the lyrics: Out in the streets, an awakening has begun You brandish posters, they point a gun Scrawled on the pavement with blood and tears Says we the people…

#4 for the RPM Challenge. Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…

originally written and performed by John Grant.

Interpretation of that we see comes from us, so, therefore, is not objective. Seems, there is no objectivity here, none at all. But then why do we try again and again to learn, to understand, to feel? The question is still the same: who are…

“While I Wait”: (Richard Hardrick) I hear my steps from echoes down in the street of time van años en lo incierto outside the shadow line Silence in an empty sky while I wait God has not revealed yet the truth of signs outside…

absolutely changed my rpm theme, if I actually had one to begin with. This song "Release" will actually land on my definite RPM 2012 Album "Standing Machine".

Theme to something. Not quite sure what.

It's a small song about a blurred childhood memory of a night in the woods when a wild boar made us run home in panic. The monster came through the ground Across the glade we ran There was a sense we felt again - never felt again.

As it's coming up to Valentine's Day, I thought I'll upload this little ditty.

Japanese Ghost House Boat was my contribution to the ImprovFriday “For Japan” earthquake relief CD release with proceeds donated to the Red Cross. It is in 17 notes per octave. Since its been about a year I thought I could release it now as…

An old instrumental of mine, written when my daughter was a baby. I plan to re-record it with some better gear soon.
