Reg has been philosophising about life tonight and this is his conclusion............ LIFE IS LIKE A WAVE The body is the sea and life is the wave Life is just like a wave Life is just like a wave Life is like a wave gaining power Life is like…

A song that I have had for a while and never uploaded. There was always something that I didn't really like about this song... lol

I'm not gonna lie to you: this isn't one of my best. It's RPM. It happens. Try listening to "Beach". I think that one's pretty cool.

I was consciously trying to do minimalist arrangements on this album. I suppose I must have felt that two guitars and a bass were necessary here. The backing vocals came out pretty good on this one. And there's some nifty bass on verse 2.

I wrote, recorded, and mixed this in about an hour on the last day of the Challenge. It's a really basic chord progression (I think...I can't actually remember it. Something something D minor something something F something?), but I still like…

Last piece recorded for RPM. On the last day. Mostly improvised. The inspiration of last-minute panic. Pretty much how I got through college. Until I dropped out. Hey, don't judge me. I'm back in school now. Gonna get my CPA. Accounting…

I'm not the best singer. In fact, I'm probably a contender for the WORST singer. But I'm also a huge Beach Boys fan, so I will sometimes do ambitious vocal arrangements like this. I didn't notice the chorus' resemblance to Ben Folds Five's…

I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I think I did a good job of summoning up a mellow, trippy atmosphere with a relatively minimalist arrangement (acoustic guitar, two pianos, lead vocal, and a guitar solo).

Kind of a Neil Young impression, I guess. You know what's ironic? I think this was the only song on the album I didn't use a metronome to record.

The title is borrowed from a line from an old Simpsons episode, but there is no other lyrical connection, it's just a quickly-written ditty about the excitement that accompanied my first RPM. I hope to eventually do a full band arrangement of this.

I don't write love songs very often. Because I'm not good at them. I liked the sort of bittersweet quality of this tune, though. If the RPM deadline had left me more time, I probably would have added a quick ascending bass line right before…

Not really a "Fun in the sun" Beach song. More like a Beach at midnight. Still, there is a pretty big Beach Boys influence here, I think. The backing vocals were staggered to sound like waves breaking on the beach. Not 100% sure it worked…

What lurks there, in the shadows? This song was inspired after watching the sci-fi movie: The Thing (1982)....

kinda hectic techno

I'll never be happy enough with it, lol so i posted a crazy improv, and i hope it sounds good enough to listen to at least once. This is like the billionth time recording this song, and ive played it constantly on voice to people in secondlife…
