I Feel It (Lyrics)

And all these images of yesterday
And what I should have done instead
Oh, Oh, I feel it

Is this years' fillertrack. I had started this backingtrack to fit with a lyricidea I had but I decided against the lyric and turned it into an instrumental. I needed an extra tune since two other tunes I put quite a lot of time in were going…

One of my better tunes this year I think. Lyrics were meant to be an anti-"My Way". Instead of looking back on life all proud and selfassured, this is from the viewpoint of someone who has just realized he has been living his life on other peoples…

The lyrics were meant to be kinda stupid and obnoxious to set the bar really low for myself in an attempt to get over my chronic lyric-writing block.

Composed in digital performer for a course in computer music. Some of the presets reminded me of Kraftwerk, so I thought I'd attempt something in that style. "The doom house" was my sister's nickname for her place of residence at the time.

There's no reason for this to be named after the infamous section of craigslist, beyond the song itself sounding sort of sleazy I guess. The ending isn't meant as political commentary, it's just a funny moment I happened to capture.

I might go back and do an expanded version of this someday. Despite the title, I think it works nicely as an ambient piece.

The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind

Working so hard looking out for herself

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.

A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…

The first 6 min. of the set from Backbeat Cafe last night. My favorite part at a manageable listening length.

This was a piece I made with Reichatron back in January and, at the time, didn't upload.
I had the odd experience of momentary unfamiliarity, enjoyment, and a sense of "Did I make this?"
Listening to it again I enjoy the way it drifts in…

I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.

I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.

Maybe it’s a trick of the light

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…

This is probably the least electronic-sounding of everything that I did from RPM 2010, although it still heavily uses samples (either self-sampled or from Freesound).
That is me playing the harmonica, though. (No, really!)
