Phew! Song 10 of my RPM 2024 done. Well, this is more of an experimental piece...I threw a bit of everything in...prophet synth, electric guitar, and even some crowd noise (I loved it when Bjork did that so...). The power cutout just as I was…

It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be! In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…

Great harmony with a dissonant sound. I like all of it. Cool effect on the nice guitar accents. The bass drives it, which is a good thing cause - you don’t know where you wanna be.

Song 6 for my 2024 RPM challenge. Got the guitar and bass out for this one. It's a song with a lot of dissonance and so is kind of weird. But here it is anyways. Definitely not for everyone's ears. Anything, anything you say… Anything…

Wow, you really got the dissonance working to your advantage. Good job. Some push and pull as well. Weird yup, but my ears like it.

Yeah, I hear the CSNY in this. Also a nice harmony that sounds familiar that I can't quite place... you got me thinking:-}

It’s fun to find you again for RPM. It’s like coming across an old friend. I’ve listened to your first three RPM entries. I’m noticing a theme and you are off to a great start. Good luck/Have Fun.

Stretching the boundaries. Minimal instrumentation carried by a heavy drum groove. It sounds good!
