This is another one for the RPM Challenge. This is some kind of 'song'... using a lot of repetition. Built with my synths and vocals and with the pressure of a deadline and a new rescue dog requiring most of my attention. Thanks for listening…
Here is my final mix of the last song I'm posting for this 2026 RPM Challenge. I wrote it half way through the challenge in a rough form and just finished the mix at 11:40 pm on February 28th. I did so many layers of synth and piano and stuff…
One song for my RPM challenge! I'm late to the party...but will try to finish anyhow (did I really sign up for 10 songs??!!!). This song was written while our guitar was in some peculiar tuning - so I just followed along. Kind of minimal but…

Trying to pump these out. Here's my next RPM song. When in doubt I just start harmonizing to whatever I write. I don't use any software to do harmonies - I prefer the old fashioned natural method because I love harmonizing to everything I hear…
This was the third song I wrote for RPM this year - took me a while to produce it. I started with a base line and it grew from there by adding piano and synths. Thanks to anyone who listens! My dog was playing with a squeaky toy while I made it…
Another song for my RPM challenge. I wrote this while improvising at the piano - a standard Jazzy chord progression I often play around with. I added some silly lyrics and called it a song (no time to waist here!). Thanks for the listen. People…

Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…
Another one for the RPM Challenge. This is one is a bit of a mood piece created with my synths. Enjoyed creating the harmonies for this one (I just use intuition for harmonies...sometimes it works and sometimes it gets weird and I usually cut…

This is Song 10 for my RPM Challenge. This is an experimental piece that features clips of independent news and social commentators (Aaron Parnas and Pissed Magistas) who I respect and support. It is dark - it is my way of dealing with (what…

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)
