DREAM There was a field around the corner And a stream flowed cross the field There were cat tails in the summer time And monarch butterflies And tadpoles sprouting wings Was I in California or was I in a dream (C) 2020 Royal T Music

They keep saying don't cross that line but the madness is real. How many times did you slip on you own shoe laces?

I've done an RPM Challenge style album in a month (10 song or 35 minutes) every month in 2020 (except January). I told myself I was going to take October off and just work on re-recording old songs. That plan didn't last long and eventually…

A simple little guitar/drum loop that is just an excuse to layer big fuzzy guitar parts in harmony. I added quite a bit of soup onto the harmonies too, and put some backward vocals... just for trippy fun. The cleanish guitar is a Gibson ES…

I set this prayer to music after recently watching a video of Dr. Scott Hahn introducing and praying the St. Joseph Rosary. This is the prayer (which I did not compose myself) Hail Joseph, Son of David, do not fear Jesus will save his…

This one isn't polyrhythms, but it wants to be. I actually took a four beat phrase and occasionally had one guitar shuffle it so beat one from guitar #1 is beat two for guitar #2. Simple. Outside of that, there's nothing all that special going…

Wind chimes, a couple of metal objects sounded by dropping them end-wise on concrete patio stones, passing emergency vehicle siren. Submitted to Sound-In for 22-29/10/2020 "Metal".

Noodling around with some scale patterns in D. Kind of a fun tune :) new strings sound pretty good!

Okay, I said none of the October album in a month songs worked as songs so much as little rhythm or harmony exercises. This one sort of works as a song. Not sure about the mix. I kinda like the melody, which is odd as I wasn't going to write…

Inspired with a cymbal sample created by Chris Vaisvil. I looped and layered his sample and improvised live dulcimer and layered that. Created for Sound-In Metal

So… two of the things I missed from my den in the UK were my basses and my Rode microphone. So, with this one I wanted loads of fretless bass and lead and backing vocals all warbled by yours truly. And I got that… But I got more. Much more. It…

Not too much happening here. I like the guitarmonies. Somehow that always sounds better with a lot of fuzz. There are a couple of places where tracks play backwards. The second verse has a copy of one of the voices chopped up and reversed…

I have to apologize in advance for bars 31-37, the section right after the vocal. The whole song is playing with polyrhythms. One guitar (and the bass and drums) is playing in 4/4 time and the other guitar is playing almost the same thing in…

This is probably the simplest thing I've ever done in my entire life. An eight bar drums/bass loop, a little three part harmony on guitar, a little three part harmony vocals, a little more three part harmony on guitar, and that's it. I think…
