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!! :)

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!!

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.
Digital Sea is an ambient generative music piece written in the Pure Data programming language. It is constantly changing, circulating, and flowing.
The program written to record this piece is capable of generating a unique, endless performance…

This is it ... FAWM's all finished for me... time for a lie down now.
There's still nearly a week to go, but I'm done, 14 songs written in 16…
Amazing how this came towards the end of the challenge...simply gorgeous. I don't hear any fatigue in it. A sad song though and I'm imagining the story behind it. Beautiful.
