I originally wanted to rap over this beat, and had the idea to improvise nonsense syllables just to figure out what the flow might be like. Ultimately I decided to keep it as it was, as it sounded like a hip hop song from another planet. Also…

The experiment here was to program a rhythm at a fairly slow tempo, then speed it up way too much.

Basically a drum-n-bass remix of my earlier song "Mike The Considerate Center For The Performing Arts".

Just a simple little tune to take me out of my minor key, noisy rock comfort zone. G Major. Who woulda thunk it?
Chorus:

i've seen him here before

The RPM Challenge does weird things to a guy, I tell you. The chorus to this one popped into my head, fully formed, at about 9:15pm on Saturday February 27. I wrote the whole thing that night, including lyrics and melody, and recorded all but…

The most last minute song I have. I woke up early on Sunday February 28. At about 7:00am The riff from the chorus of this song popped into my head. I sang it into the new iOS music notes app so that I wouldn't forget it. The lyrics for the…
