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!!

Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Begin to see me, worthy Sailor, navigator
Living on the ocean for days
The spirit of the sea lies below us
Above us, dark skies of gray
I just can’t let it go
The search for the grail has gone cold
But a wreck of a ship lies below us…
Some days I'm the preacher with my head up in a cloud
Some days I'm a gentleman who does my mama proud
But some days I'm the creature who just arrived from Mars
And some days I'm the futurist who drives electric cars
Some days I'm the…
Perfect song for me to be hearing at 12:30 am! I imagine being in a bar hearing this with a drink in my hand. Great funky song...love the strong bass work and guitar effects and the different sections. Pretty epic song!

This one was easy to write but hard work singing and recording.
I'm fairly certain this one is high on the list of "arrange me later" - I kept…
Another great tune! wow...7 in 7 days...that is a lot of creative energy. Really beautiful song and your singing is powerful. I do like this unplugged version btw. But yes, a little vodka martini will go with it nicely.
Nicely done! Awesome guitar song....raw, unplugged and beautiful.
Looking forward to your next one....hmmm....I wonder what things will be like then? lol.
omg....this really appeals to me. Gives me that Velvet Underground - Lou Reed feel. Super cool. I actually looked up 880 skyline lol. I used to live right beside a highway and a busy train track. I love what's going on at 4:42 btw
Gone on a travel on a winter day
It doesn’t matter any price I’ll pay
I ain't busy on the week after next
Just give me a call or just gimme a text
I got no plans to be leavin' my couch
Eatin' the doritos in the family pouch
You are…
Lookin over the calendar
Seems like you're getting old
Feel a little bit achy now
A remedy is sold
Goin to the healthy store
Buy what you need
Tryin all the products
To heal your achy knee
But you won’t feel brand new

In fact, I was resting and chilling.

The random wisdom of bar room philosophers, and the magic of sipping whiskey in a darkened room.
This is the December submission for the RPM - Record Every Month challenge
Recorded in December 2021
Oh yeah!!! I love that beginning/ending!! Beautiful song, great vocals and guitar, cool lyrics. I must say the recording/production is also well done. I'll go have a whiskey (wait...it's only 4:25 pm...and I should be working!).
This tune was born from the RPM Challenge 2022 Endlesss jam with contributions from fellow RPMers: Salman, Bukupanda & Elling. After slicing and dicing the Endlesss stems, some additional instrumentation was added and this is the result. A…

Awesome! Very catchy melodically (complex in a great way) and otherwise. I love the bridge....and the "they don't count anymore"...love that....and nice ending vocal too. Your challenge seems to be going extremely well.
Great tune and title! Love the way the guitar comes in and then builds on itself; and the riff is very catchy too. Well done! oh yeah, cool...now I'm hearing that bass toward the end....wow. RPM is going well I see.
