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!

Big sound, you still have the touch. I wonder what you are doing the other 11 months of the year (more a statement than a question). I hope you are writing, performing or something associated with music. I always enjoy hearing what you produce.

We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.

I really like this. It reminds me of the early industrial stuff, bits of Skinny Puppy? The vocal work gives it a completely different feel, but the bass and drums pound.
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

First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…

3rd Song for my RPM challenge. Went back to my piano and kept it minimal. I love singing harmonies (grew up listening to CSNY). Thanks to anyone who listens xox
Did you get lost in the sea
Were you searching for pieces of me
Wooowoooo

Song 4 for my RPM 2025. I wrote and recorded it after dinner tonight. This time, I picked up the lovely Martin and strummed away. Another opportunity for some harmonizing. Thanks again for listening!
Please don’t pack it in
Please no never…

You're voice is incredible, but oh man are you're arrangements something special. They are so sparse, but just have such momentum. If you stopped posting your RPM tracks, my FAWM's would be a little worse.

Song 2 for RPM 2025 (I actually wrote this one first). Dusted off my electric guitar for this one (yeah, maybe I should practice more).
My heart is falling for you
Your heart, is longing to be free
And my days are very numbered
And you…

Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you
Track 1 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg...
My heart beat feels like a strangers
It drums to a different kinda beat
The image in this head of mine hangs in defeat
It don’t feel…

Everybody's getting away
Whenever their dreams take them
Riding…
Every day, every day, every day
Every Day, Every Day, Every Day
Look for pleasure and always be kind
Every day, every day that passes by
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day

Time it seems just keeps rambling on
Days turn to night and quickly are gone
Someday we all become…
RPM day 2
Now I ain’t no groundhog baby
I can barely see my shoes
If I see a shadow it’s cos I’ve got the blues
If you want a weather forecast
I suggest that you watch the news
But I tell you something I can predict
There will be 6 more…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Some more experiments basing on JI frequencies and using random objects to control in Pure Data. I'm also using a voice sample from a Freesound.org user, Adharca. Planning to remix this a few times, this is one for new event on Discord.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

So many things are going wrong
It’s been getting worse far too long
I cannot bear to look at you
You cannot do the things you used…
That is a fun song that can be read in many different ways :). Nicely done!!! I feel a the bath calling me after listening to this. Oh, nice guitar solo here too.
Comments on Ricia Rae's stuff
Cool .....another Great Tune!!!
Excellent song! It's got kind of a Kate Bush feel. :)
Beautiful slow build. After hearing this, and recently breaking out my old Roland beat box, I feel a sudden need to get an old analog synth. :P
That synth is so lonely and the vocal accompanying is a perfect fit

Never get tired of this style. So good.
Interesting texture to this.
You still got the touch! Nice song.
Oh yes indeed. Love this.
Wonderful song! So moving and beautiful words
love it! very moving.
Missed this one! Nice :)
Eerily delivered and sadly very right to the point…. Great job! Your voice is so beautiful.

I love that "I don’t think that this Jar is enough" line, and how you sing the "You Maybe mine for a while". Cool harmonies as well.
Oh yeah, like it.
