Song 2 for the RPM Challenge. Wrote this at the piano and then had fun trying all sorts of spontaneous vocal harmonies. Switching time signatures for the chorus made for some challenging recording!
Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)
Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix.
I never told you

no, it don’t feel right
the things you say

well they hold me hold me

Here is song 7 for the RPM Challenge 2021. This is another experimental song whereby I'm mixing a bit of Dub Step with a bit of Blues. Thanks for listening!
The 4th submission for my RPM Challenge - an experimental electronic song that I put together at the dining room table. Thanks for listening!
must.keep.going.
This is my second instalment for the RPM Challenge 2021. A playful use of synths as a backdrop for some reflective lyrics. I wrote the song today ....out of the blue :). Thanks to anyone who listens (especially if you make it to the end…
Here is the 6th song for my RPM Challenge 2021. This has got to be one of the weirder songs I have written. It is a combination of dark, ironic, and humorous.
Perfect for my EP called "Darker". Enjoy :) Thanks for listening!!

Interesting title for this one :) I love it and I've now learned what a glitch track is.....seriously cool. Congrats again on a fantastic RPM - well done.
When the aliens come to visit this will be the soundtrack. Very cool (though it is true that my dog is hearing things in the mix that perhaps we can't hear....it seems to have a message for him lol).
Loving the whole album. I forgot that I have to press my comment before the song ends...I was just saying that this is great and also that the vocal type of presence around 7:25 is wild.

This is an amazingly cool bluesy tune...great musicianship and I love the collaborative approach. Really professional. Makes me want to practice the harp!

Comments on Ricia Rae's stuff
Very good ....
I'm sure I'll be back for more ....
Oh yeah ...
Song 4 on day 6 of the RPM Challenge! That’s impressive. 4 excellent songs so far.
Oh crumbs... loving your stuff. Faved and followed... I'll be back to listen to more.
And this... wow. Loving your vocal delivery. Very cool song too.
I saw your name going by and thought "I've not heard them, are have I?". Woo... like this.
Well done! I enjoyed this
Came across this in the "latest" playlist and it demanded I stop and listen. Great track.
You definitely know what you're doing. There's an effortlessness to this that's really hypnotic.
Catchy chorus! Nice!
Makes me want a big Scotch!
Bjorkish!
Love all the melody lines. Cool.
Wonderful! Love the lyrics.
Cool cord progression. I like the vibe. -wrinkled shirt
Enjoyed this! Especially the strings!
Wow, so dark -- but sadly real.

Great electronic-orchestral feel. ...fabulous.
Haunting.....the foot step like sound... I think I'd be mildly afraid to hear this alone in my house in the woods. Well done!

This! I'm loving this one too (my dog however seems concerned). I'm trying to imagine how you built it - the emotion of it speaks to me...haunting.
oohhh.....even the wave pattern of the audio track is cool - like an inkblot of the song.
This is so engaging and mesmerizing. I just love how it evolves and tells a sonic story. Congrats on another RPM finish btw!
That title really caught my attention. Great lyrics and melody too....love it and the folk-like vibe.
Nice smooth tune. Love the guitar riff. Congrats on your RPM btw.
Cool tune and yes, the punk feel to this is great. Lyrics - spot on!
This is an amazingly cool bluesy tune...great musicianship and I love the collaborative approach. Really professional. Makes me want to practice the harp!
I was just thinking this while out walking the dog!! Great tune :) Love the banjo....nice mix.
Very cool ....that sounds like a fantastic analogue synth there. RPM almost done!
So lovely and the lyrics are very moving. Beautifully done! I wonder where Julia is now...maybe she can hear your song.
That's a fun one! Important to lose some control .....lots of benefits. Great guitar solo there too.
Love it...and great imagery. Now I must see the movie too!
Another beauty! Gorgeous voice as always. (I get some Bowie vibes....and I'm a big fan). You're almost done your FAWM!!! Wow.
Fun tune!
ohhh.....very beautiful. Gives such a feeling and I love the scale you're using. love it.
