This is another one for the RPM Challenge. This is some kind of 'song'... using a lot of repetition. Built with my synths and vocals and with the pressure of a deadline and a new rescue dog requiring most of my attention. Thanks for listening…
Trying to pump these out. Here's my next RPM song. When in doubt I just start harmonizing to whatever I write. I don't use any software to do harmonies - I prefer the old fashioned natural method because I love harmonizing to everything I hear…
Another song for my RPM challenge. I wrote this while improvising at the piano - a standard Jazzy chord progression I often play around with. I added some silly lyrics and called it a song (no time to waist here!). Thanks for the listen. People…
Yeah, I'm with you on this... (though, I will admit, if someone does manage to drag me there, I do, invariably, enjoy myself, a little bit, anyway... LOL). Love the piano playing.

Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…

One song for my RPM challenge! I'm late to the party...but will try to finish anyhow (did I really sign up for 10 songs??!!!). This song was written while our guitar was in some peculiar tuning - so I just followed along. Kind of minimal but…

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 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo
You touch…
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 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

I don’t want to cry

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!
Her make up
Is all over the floor
And you…

Let me tell you a story about the time that Dave fell asleep on the conveyor belt again.

It's probably not a huge surprise that someone who chose a moniker evoking a hyperactive bigfoot would be a fan of b-movies, this is my punk rock love letter to them.
VERSE
I ought to go to bed Instead I’m watching z-grade creatures
Menacing…
I keep searching for a sign
From the other side
To keep my hope alive
Trying to walk the line
God knows how hard I've tried
Don't know if I'll survive
Gotta let it slide
Man, these are trying times
If you attempt to fly
You wind up…
That guitar opening caught my attention right away. I love the harmonies too...beautiful. Well done Dweeb. btw...I'm so impressed with your longstanding RPM participation (very inspiring...thank you). Of course, I would always like to hear more (but you have already given so much). Enjoy a good rest (creative work can take it out of us). Ohh....nice ending on this song too......!!!
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
oh yes! This is awesome and professional. Wow. Vocals great & catchy electric guitar riffs...it's got all the goods. Your collaboration is producing some great music! Looking forward to hearing the whole album when it's done. (ps. thanks for the listens and the fun feedback)
Comments on Ricia Rae's stuff
Beautiful
Oh yeah. Like this.
Yeah, I'm with you on this... (though, I will admit, if someone does manage to drag me there, I do, invariably, enjoy myself, a little bit, anyway... LOL). Love the piano playing.
Love the intro and the vocals
This is wonderful! It makes me feel like you are singing out over the edge of a big beautiful cliff over the ocean.
Poor old Maxwell at least he was loved
Love the message in this one. It is SO comforting.
Yep, like it. The minimalism works for me. And really effective harmonies.
The songs that write themselves are always the best. This one has an ethereal quality.
Gently relaxing. Nice harmony. I like the minimalism.
Well done! You weren't sure you were going to finish when you started were you? Nice finish.

Very cool! What a feeling you create (and I love the premiss!)

I find this mesmerizing and I love it. this is the kind of electronic music I adore. ps. thanks for listening to some of my stuff.

Congrats on your RPM. These are great!
I love this! My pets are my best audience :) Nice guitar work too.

those lyrics! Great melody (and the title really captured my attention). Lovely guitar progression. I get a Neil Young vibe here (in the best way).
