The chorus is adapted from "O Death Rock Me Asleep", by Anne Boleyn, while imprisoned in the Tower of London, waiting for her execution.

The bell-like instrument that starts this off is actually a steel pan being pitch-shifted to different notes.

I was thinking about unlikely superpowers one day for some reason, and just came up with this weird little story that I then decided to set to music. One Kilometer Per Year was almost this album's title.

More ambient music based around my cheap battery operated keyboard. I was trying for the sort of song that might turn up in an enchanted forest in an 8-bit RPG.

The instrumentation includes a hunting trumpet and an electric toothbrush, hence the title.

The good ol' battery operated keyboard again, this time with some whistling.

This song is mainly toy accordion, so I couldn't resist the pun.

I personally wasn't that happy with how this turned out, but to me when it comes to RPM albums there should be no such thing as outtakes.

This is supposed to be sort of annoying, I swear.

If you've ever played the pretty good but questionably translated X-Men arcade game, you should recognize this title.

I guess you could call this my attempt at dark ambient. I once misread a sign in a bookstore that read "Read Away The Winter" as "Dead Avalanche Winter", and I filed that away mentally until I had a fitting song for it.

Like "Neon Orange Dinosaur" this is a track that I think would make a pretty good hip-hop beat.

You've been trying to beat a really hard NES game for months on end. You finally beat that last boss and you get treated to... a comically anticlimactic 8 note fanfare and a short congratulation in broken English.

A pretty little ambient loop I might go back and expand into something else someday.

Creepy carnival music. I was trying to remember the name of b-movie Cthulhu Mansion, and because part of it takes place at a fair, Cthulhu Carnival was my first guess somehow. I thought that sounded like a pretty fitting song title anyway.

For whatever reason this album ended up having a lot of songs that could be low-budget horror movie themes.

Kind of a mashup of "Cthulhu Carnival" and "Sasquatch Horror Collection".

One of a few pieces composed on a battery operated toy keyboard that I nicknamed the Powersockey, due to the fact that the power socket was labeled that.

One of a few songs on the album where the percussion is a loop of myself hitting my computer desk with my hands. I think I got a nice hypnotic vibe going with this one.
