RPM17
1/10
First song on RPM 17....eh first song on RPM ever lol
Really glad I made this one.
I had to dig up an old VHS tape (anyone remember those?) for the audio sample in this track.
The hardest part about making this tune was actually…
Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…

Brilliant album - hugely enjoyed this as the sun came up today. It sounds sun-infused, musically robust and witty, cheeky... Well done on your first (awesome) RPM album!
Maybe this should have been called feb 28th lol
Who dosnt need a little more time for RPM?
Clearly I was running out of ideas for lyrics, So naturally, I asked Bob Dylan to help out
"I think I need a little more time". Love February, right? But this is sounding really polished. Love your spoken voice too. Late night radio swagger over smooth guitar infused dreaminess - I mean the whole album. Haha! Dylan?! This is bonkers. Great, but bonkers.

It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
First song of the year for me...
Recorded on New years day 2011...
-Good Times-
Words and Music By Tharek Mokbul
These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...
Not Learned...
I’ve seen old faces,
Fade away,
In my mind…
Recorded in Sonoma after seeing Les Claypool perform at a small club in Sebastopol. Inspired by his awesomeness, I recorded this all day Nov 27th 2009 thanksgiving day.
A cool blend from Electronica to Rockin' Primus vibes.
Did I sound like…
A layered improvisation on a M-Audio 88es
Korg MS2000 * 2 (duplicated the midi track and recorded the MS2k with two different voices serially)
Pianoteq
Absynth

(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
the recording on this one is exceptionally good. I think you may have perfected the perc mic up over this last year. is there a hint of reverb?
Nice one, really warm malaria-like sound

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…

And lunatic is a lifestyle.
I'm really glad you made this one too before the tape finally turns to dust.
Not that I need another reason to enjoy jamming with you...
Cool first RPM album :)

Oh nice groove. Love this slinky bassline.
Love the carousel-esque intro.
OK, so now I'm cheek to cheek with a cowboy. I'll take it!

Ooh nice switches in feel here - cool and adventurous. Digging the last part especially.
Haha! Love RPM themed songs. And cocktail ones.
Pretty dreaminess. Love those trickling tendrils.
Is that audio from your wedding?! <3
So glad you plunged in to the RPM pool and it was such a great experience for you! Will you do it again? Loving this album opener - fab breezy feels.
Like it. Good job and nice arrangement :)
Aloha Reef, Nice! this is making me want to get out my stuff and record something.
Sort of making me drool a bit...
Whoa...
Love - indeed too long!
Very nice! Cool panning on the guitars.

Wow K, great sounding tune. Technically a top recording sound, and great guitar playing too.
