For the people of Ukraine...for the people of this world!

Well, my entry for RPM 2022 went from LP to (a very short) 4 song EP but this track I think has bags of potential. It was a discarded idea from a few years ago that was lurking in my 'half-baked' Logic folder but something in it ignited my creative…

A spaceship carrying the last remnants of an ancient alien race travels the cosmos looking for a new home its passengers in deep hibernation. But some catastrophic failure affects the ship's systems. The computer is unable to wake up the passengers…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 13. I use GarageBand for all of my amateur recording needs. I use the MacOS version for recording real instruments and mixing and adding gobs of echoes and stuff. Sometimes I used the iOS version to kick off…

A heavy metal track... Since I don't play the guitar (or any other instrument) , all the guitars you hear were created inside my computer...

Dan was mucking around with the bass guitar. I recorded it. Then I took parts of the recording, and quickly added some drums and other parts to it. This one was just a quick job. Nothing too fancy...

Another collab with Snapper4298. An electronica track with an old school type beat.

Yep! It's me and Snapper4298 again! This year, we just kept going! Melodically I think this is one of if not THE richest and most beautiful tracks I have ever created :) Sounds so epic!

Another one by Snapper4298 and me.... There is crazy.... and then there is absolutely, insanely, utterly crazy mad... Firstly, it's not even an arpeggiator at all, but never mind that. The melody is crazy, wonky!.... Apologies for the use…

Dave has been around with his guitar a few times. This will be the first time one of our collabs makes it to the RPM challenge. We left it quite last minute (Dave had all sorts of other things going on), but managed to get him on Friday 25th…

I attended Ronan's Mountain Recording Retreat this past year and one of the mentors was Michelle Shocked. We had nightly jam sessions with the participants and she would jump into the middle of us and just make everything so much fun. She also…

For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat. Keep it quiet kids…

Grant and I became obsessed with maj7 chords and that led to a lot of jazzy sounds. The title came before there were words and it seems about right. Megan really made this one shine. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp…

This is what happens when the drummer sends you a bunch of jazz chords. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp.com Can’t stop falling down Can’t stop falling forward Whenever you’re around I struggle for the right…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 15. Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…

RPM 2k22 it's all you know so why don't you show me just how it's done i'm mesmerized the way that you lie mostly to yourself as if you're someone else it's killing you these things that you do to simply remain not breaking ground…
