Song 10# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Wrote this today with my synthesizer, drum gadgets and keys. A bit dark, maybe for a movie about an assassination. This concludes my RPM for this year :) Thanks to anyone who has listened.

Song 8 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Experimented with my very old Bass...that doesn't keep its tune very well! Onward I say. Thanks for anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoox

Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…

Song #6 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. This one is sort of a dance (anti-dance) song. Composed mostly using my Juno Synth. It took ages to put together oddly. Thanks to anyone who dares to listen!

Song 1 for the RPM Challenge. Wanted to feature an incessant base line inspired by The Smoke.

Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!

Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

Demo for FAWM ’25. Based off a poisonous plant prompt, which in my case was Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) a plant that to my initial disappoint is the "kid gloves" of deadly plants, traditionally more common for medicinal use than murder, but…

Well done! You weren't sure you were going to finish when you started were you? Nice finish.

Ricia Rae is my alt-indie-music project. I’m posting as part of the RPM Challenge 2025 (2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 were also posted here…not sure where 2020 is). I love song writing and everything to do with music. I especially love hearing what others post on this platform - it’s raw, real, and truthful.
Thanks for taking the time to listen:) If you’re interested, my website is www.riciarae.com (I have some music videos too…kind of shitty though)
