Given it's Valentine's Day ...I thought I'd write a little love song. This is Song #8 for my 2022 RPM challenge. Practiced a bit of breathy indie vocals and harmonies.
Thanks to anyone who's listening. :).
You thrill me
you undo me…
The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…

Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.

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!

Fantastic compilation. Highly creative. Terrific bass throughout and love the piano in I’m OK. Ricia Rae has an ethereal voice. I also found this to be great workout music.

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!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…

Nice one. Yeah, I've been thinking (listening to stuff elsewhere) about writing to basslines. Most of the time I write with an acoustic guitar, singing it as I play it - no recording equipment is used/harmed. But something else happens if the bass is laid down first. And, as a writer, I also find it strangely appealing. Cool track... I'm ready for the next one!

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)

Well, this is simply outstanding.
Love the imagery you use in this.
Very clever stuff .....
Top notch ....
You are on a ROLL One after another. You go girl !!!!!
Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.

Love the Beatles references! You go girl!!
Some space, some funk, exactly right.

Your entire album is fantastic. I love the overall vibe of the songs, and your vocals are great!

Very cool! What a feeling you create (and I love the premiss!)
oooohhh...I like! Congrats on your RPM :). Is that a bass in the background? very cool
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.
oh this one might be my favourite. Love that intro line and all the piano!
ha ha...that is well titled "scratching at my arm". Nice!
Loving your album. Would love to learn more about what you're using.
oh yes!!! That title and this song. I really love this and that is one of my favourite scales. Well done!!!
this is awesome too!
ooohhh...I love those lyrics (a true sailor's song...and the metaphor too of course!).
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).
very cool song. Love those lyrics and a great groove. I also like the way it ends. Great to hear you again!
