OK, I cheated. The RPM Challenge, for those of you who aren't familiar, is a challenge to record an entire album (10 songs or 35 minutes) of original material during the month of February, just because you can. Writing the material during…

Another one that sounds a bit thin without lyrics/vocals. Meh. And, yes, I know the rhythm section drops the beat on the last chorus. It's the first take for the bass and drums. I was in a hurry. 'Tis the nature of RPM. The little coda…

It's called "Seven" because it was the 7th track I recorded. And because I was out of clever titles. It gave me an odd pleasure to make "Seven" the 6th track on the album. Anyway, it sounds to me like the bastard child of elevator music and…

This was the first track I wrote for the album, the first I began recording for the album, and the first I finished mixing for the album. In retrospect, it probably would have been The Smart Choice for the album's opening track. Somewhere…

This seems a lot quieter than the rest of the album. Whoops. I mixed the whole thing in one 6 hour shot to meet the RPM deadline. Also, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to mixing. Anyway, I like this tune. And it's a good example…

OK, you caught me cheating again (see "Supervillain" description). The chord progression is original this time, but instead of a proper arrangement, it's an improvised guitar solo over a sort of trippy sound collage. It has its moments, but…

Pretty basic pop/rock tune. The lead guitar was a last-minute replacement for a vocal line.

A waltz. Nifty.

Still not quite sure why I called it "Winston". But I did. I think I might put some vocals on the second part of this sometime when I'm not rushing to meet a deadline.

Our lovely cat Minimini is such a nice cat. She loved to go outside with me in the snow. And so I had to make some music and video with her. This was in January 2010

2 Januari 2010. I love animals and so I made this video for my friends at CDMagz, and later also posted the video myself at my Twirretwarre channel. I hope you enjoy the music and the birds in our garden! I improvised with Korg I3 and improvised…

I must admit that I like this litte piano tune a lot - I only wish I was a better player.

A colaboration off of Soundcrafters.org, again with Mike or Holdenpok off of McHenry Illinois (who's vocals you hear) and LestG off of I know not where, who wrote the origal drum, bass, guitar arrangement. My humble contribution is only the keyboard…
