A silly song questioning the value of using songs to get a message across. Just say 'sorry' - don't write me an opera about it.
Incidentally the note choices in this song really did hurt me.
New lies
Written like you cared for me

At the 23rd hour we consider whether we've made the right decisions.
Written and recorded less the 48 hours before the end of the RPM challenge deadline. I wonder why.
Is this our 23rd hour
Sixty minutes to go
Are we counting the seconds…

Low-frills bass and piano piece. Not my usual fare (whatever that is), but still fun to create.

Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.

I'm really not this bleak... I was just looking for an excuse to use that VU/JAMC/The National drumbeat!

Just a short reprise of the first song on this years RPM album. Something to tie it all off so it doesn't keep bleeding.

Written, more or less, after sitting in a car for four hours, after attending Laurie's Last.

A Song About an old Saying......
Sh*t Happens......

Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…

There are several theories concerning the extinction of Neanderthal humans 30,000 years ago. I am struck by the replacement of skilled hunters by aggressive agriculturists -- we're pretty much Cain, aren't we?

This is a haiku -- there is no deeper meaning. We're only counting.

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…

The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language".
This one ties into the theme from 2009's RPM Challenge Album. (Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets).

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.
It's basically about working the night shift on an office job. (You see really weird things at night when an office building is empty and quiet…

Title track from my RPM 2010 album, entitled "The Loudest Silence".

"Jenny Blue" was originally supposed to be the album closer, but this track seemed like a nice outro.
(Definitely Tangerine Dream worship on my part.)
Uploaded
If "Jenny Blue" is the closer, and "Shrinking Violet" is the outro, then this is the postlude to the outro.
The only track I played in real-time on from beginning to end. (No idea how I managed to pull that off..)
Uploaded
This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

Do you remember those in your past who made your life more magical?

Track number 1 from the 2010 RPM Challenge. Title track.

The first single off of Dragons & Lace my completed 2010 RPM Challenge album.

Track 4. Contains an uncredited sample of American Indian drumming. I'd love to credit it... if I knew who it was.

A billboard is no place for advertising some sort of spiritual message. I call it thieves in the temple if you ask me.
Uploaded
Track 6 is about a poor sod who has to stay at home while his lady is at a Pure Romance party... or something like that.
Uploaded
Track 7 is about a couple of friends who seem to continually make self-destructive decisions.
Uploaded
Ever have one of those days? Yeah... that's what this is about.
Uploaded
Track 9. I love when my inane babble turns into a useful lyric.
Uploaded
quick little mandolin number to round out my album for the year!!
Uploaded
Meant as an introduction track to the RPM 2010 album.
Uploaded
Meant as an outro to the RPM 2010 album. I'm not proud of it, but i needed 1:45 more music to complete the challenge and it's the last day!

flute/bass/drums, kinda jazzy, upbeat
I admit, the title has nothing to do with the piece. It’s a reference to the morning I had. Yelyah v. Squirrel.

It seems that any time I feel confident about being able to continue doing a song a day, I jinx my next day.
Like last night, I made it known that I was probably going to continue with song a day in March, whilst…

What's weird is that I didn't feel the rush of adrenaline until after I had finished recording the vocals. At 12:59 CST.
And then I just kinda freaked out.
For those not in the know, this was for February 28th's FAWM song skirmish. A title…

Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.
Uploaded
This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!

I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
