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...

Snapper4298 and me go back a long time (more than 10 years! I couldn't believe it myself!)
Great collab partner!
This is another electronica piece, with a hint of chiptune (among other things).
Don't know why, the piano pat makes me think of…

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!

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 14.
The title pretty much says it all. I had more trouble improvising over this stupid little asshole of a song than I've maybe ever had before in my entire life. It was awful. The leads you're left with are…

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…

Look, it's not a Letter Seventeen record if I don't end it with something like this. Plus, I spent way too much time playing with orchestral libraries all summer to not use them somewhere.
It started off so nice
A time for you and me

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…

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…

A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.
I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…

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.

This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well.....
Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge
Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like
Time to self-assess
You still want to be so…

This is what happens when the drummer sends you a bunch of jazz chords.

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…

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…

Some work with a new collab partner: Wendingo24 from Freesound.org

He provided the acoustic guitar at the start of the track (which I also manipulated to sound like…

kiss me softly in the evening light
and like the breeze, i'll be blown away
linger longer if you have the time
and whisper truly that you want to stay
how long, oh eternity

forever's just a word it…
