Another song for the RPM 2009 Challenge. This is sort of an interlude that reminds me of Penguin Cafe Orchestra but with a sort of industrial edge. Vocoder is featured.

A classically-inspired track that totally does not fit in with the rest of the album. Incidentally, Ctesiphon was a capital of the Parthian Empire.

I believe the recording in the background is from a spy station. The other is a Spanish sonnet.

I could not turn off certain synthesizers while I was programing this one, so I kept it as it was. Desperate sounding, I thought.

Tartessos (possibly the "Tarshish" of the Bible) was a fabulous city in Southern Spain that the Greeks and Phoenecians often visited. I wanted to evoke a sense of adventure.

Written and performed quickly (approx 2 hours) during a "dark day". This is not a political song but rather a song about the "helpless feeling" during the current strange economic times.
When I used to get down I'd put on an old song I loved…
Uploaded
Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.
Uploaded
Dreamy instrumental with piano, middle eastern percussion, and deep bass. Inspired by William Orbit.
Uploaded
Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.

(3 of 5 of "Tree Haus" cycle) This was meant to be a 30 second interlude but grew into a song of its own; now I find it one of the two "perfect" tracks on the album.
Uploaded
(1 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I regret not doing more about the stodginess of this song - it's the lowpoint of the album to me. Perhaps you disagree but I still wince my way through this. Alas.

Here's the first time you hear the "Love ZZZV" theme reprised in a slightly different way. Then we morph into a style someone described to me as being medieval. Me, I'm not convinced they liked noise interludes all those centuries ago...

Thanks for listening to my album, "Love ZZZV"! This opening track is still my favourite of the nine because it features nothing I'd call a mistake and still leaves me in wonder just as to how I wrote it. The extended, classic tracker-style soloing…

A very simple experiment with layered electric guitars and some laidback beats.

This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word.
Unappeasable:
She’s so unappeasable
I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable
but she can’t see my point of view.
She’s blind…

Original working title was something like, "And after six years I finally understood why they sing in the streets here, and could go home." It's sort of about anonymity in the modern city. If that sounds pretentious, that's because it is.

One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."
