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…

Song 7 for RPM 2024. I've always wanted to do a song with a one note melody line...here it is! I had my awesome husband join me for some lead guitar parts (which made it that much more fun). Thanks for listening! It’s not like you Crossing…

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.

Song 5 for RPM 2024. Sat at our piano for this one and got a bit carried away! More of an atmospheric piece and the title track of my RPM "album". I love doing vocal harmonies (I grew up on CSNY). Thanks to anyone who listens :) Oh…

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 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…

Your gorgeous voice is the perfect match for these eerie and melancholy lyrics. Love it. The dance beat adds another level of mystery.

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!

Interesting sound of drum and vocal. It’s a real toe tapper.

The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…

I've enjoyed listening to some tunes tonight and this one is right in my ball-park! Wonderful groove and vocal. And it highlights something i kept noticing. You write or craft wonderful bridge parts, whether they are vocal or not they give that magical lift to a tune. If I find a nice bridge for a tune this year it's down to you!

It's summer time, I'm at a cottage, I've been listening to a lot of weird electronic music and thinking about the world burning up. I'm playing around with layering vocals - something I love. Thanks to anyone who listens even for a few seconds…

I love the vocal layering, I want to say its "haunting", but that's not the word. Enigmatic perhaps? I don't know, something resonates with me... resonant? Am I having writers block in a comment?

Always love the idea of vocals used as part of the rhythm. An age-old method used perfectly here.
