FIVE PINS

RPM Album for 2024. All material copyright Rich Blenkinsopp.

No humans were injured in the making of this album. All tracks are 100% generated using MIDI Virtual Instruments (yes, even the vocals).

All tracks were born in February 2024, except What We Need Is Change, which was started a few months prior, but never developed further than a single verse at that time - the rest of this song was written during February 2024.

My original idea for the “EP” was to write a concept album, where all the pieces are connected. It didn’t turn out that way, and instead, is really just a collection of five pieces written in isolation. The collection is three very mainstream pop ballads, and two experiments.

Thanks to the manufacturers who make this kind of creation possible for me, including Dreamtonics, Eclipsed Sounds, Toontrack, Native Instruments, and most of all Steinberg.
