Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
ha! thanks for the comments guys. The car passing that POS on the highway was a viper- I just love that sound.
Norm, ill be hanging out with the wheels tonight if anyone cares to join me.
PS, and yes I could hear you smoking along with the engine on smoke break.
Stop that, or I will take your bull-horn away and go hang out with the wheels.
"Late for the late shift". "The seats are out of cash". I just love that.
I'm laughing at the sounds of that crappy engine attempting to turn over... it's strange to hear those sounds in the absence of some rather colorful language!
Hey, and there ain't nothin' wrong with 100bpm.
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
A collab with K.Davidsen, Dave Berry and Speed Demon (Gene) that I never put up but it's a cool tune and these guys rock so I floated it up to the cloud!
A track I created years ago, but freshly mixed with additions and subtractions - hence, 'revived'.
The lyrics are on my bandcamp 'macmcintyreguitarist.bandcamp.com' - I'm not sneakily directing you to my bandcamp in the hope you might buy a…
A little dark......
I stand at the junction between life & death
As the count begins to rise
The darkened moon weeps but is blind to the grief
Of the ones left behind
We weep but we can not hide
Daytime nighttime the hunt for…
Poor old Reg everything was going swimmingly until he fell of the wagon, 6 weeks dissapeared and guess what his wife didn't understand and he's out on his ear again, he's got no one to blame but himself but he's gone a bit weird this time…
How are you friend?? I need to get on AT more often. dont know if its covid or what, but many great peeps and tunes of late. Makes me happy. I like the ambiance change at 1:20
I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong.
When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…

And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
Nice song. Like the stop up at 2:00. Pretty intense. I’m laughing a bit about the name ‘lament ‘which obviously was supposed to be ‘the practical gardener’. That sounds familiar with my stuff too., lol. 15 years can put a new perspective on almost anything. Cheers.
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
I have a new love in my life A Kemper this is the first recording using it. John https://thebigbaddog.co.uk/ is playing guitar i'm theo ne warbleing. Trying to get a different slant on a classic for the band this is as far as we got today but…
