This is another old melody. I dusted it off, gave it some clean clothes, and sent it off into the world.

Tried a different way to come up with a lead line.
I kind of like the way it turned out. Kind of Bowie-ish. Love to hear some feed back.

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

I'm Learning MAO with Reason, this is my first track using this software :D
This is just a test, there's no real end to the track, the purpose was to get to understand the general process of compositing with Reason. ;)

My plan for the 2009 RPM Challenge was to get up a couple of hours early every day and take care of business before the business day started. I didn't want to take any time away from the family so that was my only option. This song is from the…

One of three songs with lyrics written about my RPM 2009 strategy. Something about this song appeals to me. I think it's my favorite one out of the ten.

The riff was inspired by an electronic device that has two speeds. I kept switching back and forth and listening to the hum popped this into my head. The lyric was supposed to be George W Bush bashing (the twit) but I don't really know what…

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

LYRICS:
Tonight when you go to sleep
I pray your god your soul is in too deep
Should you die before you wake
I'll know your life was a big mistake
I don't want to kill you
All I want is just to see your pain
I want you to suffer
Again…

No.2 of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written in June. A song about someone the singer knows is nearby and is the right one but has yet to be found.

I do not know anyone named Lilly Child. I just thought the name sounded good.
This is third of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written last June. I have only recorded 4 of the 10

The instrument tracks were all recorded before I even attempted to sing this song, which was not a good idea as I cannot sing very well in the key of E major. Thus, this song does not exactly feature a good vocal part.

This whole album being a part of the RPM Challenge, it was overall fairly rushed, although this is the most noticeably incomplete song. I recorded both a vocal and drum track to go along with this song, but they both did not record for some reason…

This song was recorded a short time prior to a very messy break-up.

Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control.
The light, the time
It’s in my mind,
Oh fine,
Won’t be polite

Have not progressed in Mind

No goals, no control,

No cure,
Not attuned to be here

I’m your janitor today,
I do it for the pay and
Soak in the shadow

It crawls out my heart, to my arm,
Up the wrist,
So close to your throat
Crawling
Crawling
No future in your flight…
