Written for the March Songwriting Challenge "Fast Food" offered by Carl Unbehaun, Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Let's Dine In" features myself and my sweetheart Rita Beth Connor who has been putting up with my crap, often positioned has…

Can't remember if I ever uploaded this, it's an old song. A simple video here. https://youtu.be/qyqBUXIpDno

This was the first idea I had for RPM this year. It was the first song to have guitars, the first to have lyrics, the first to have pretty much everything. Why then wasn't it the first to get mixed? I don't know. I kinda like this but maybe…

I liked this one as I was working on it. Now that it's done... meh. I feel like I am trying to do too much with way too little. It was a nice idea, and I love anything in 7/8, but I don't know about this puppy. The lyrics are the first time…

The plan for the RPM Challenge this year is to do an album with two distinct parts. Side One (if you'll indulge the ancient way of thinking) will be a straight up bar band. The instrumentation will be my normal guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Side…

Another band mix of an acoustic song. I had a hard time getting GarageBand's drummer to fit. I went from way too busy to way too passive to mildly too busy and decided to live with it. I think the problem was probably the 7/4 time signature…

This is the band mix of this guy: https://alonetone.com/robertjames1971/tracks/time's-up-(coffee-shoppe-mix) The acoustic guitar and the vocals are the same on both mixes. Everything else is different. Today’s the day the end of days…

I woke up this morning with an idea for a strummy riff in my head. I telecommuted to work today and in the couple of hours before I had to punch in to work I wrote all the sections and recorded the rhythm guitars to a guide drum track. During…

Interactive looping in Pure Data, baritone ukulele.

Thumbjam and Esoteric synth apps

My usual generic mid-tempo rock tune. This was written on the guitar rather than on a midi instrument in GarageBand, so I like it a little for that alone. Really though, the whole thing is worth it for the four bar disco break toward the end…

I forgot to write an ending for this one. That's why it fades out. Lots of squawky saxophone. I must have been running out of gas when I recorded it. The lower vocal part has a lot of iffy pitches. I'm sort of glissing between notes and I…

a very easy and low-fi synthesizer and electronic drum session with vst- synthesizer plug- in.

Lap steel and Pure Data. Testing setup for live event tomorrow. One of the results here. 7 10 sec loop tables interactive and mixed.
