Song 10# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Wrote this today with my synthesizer, drum gadgets and keys. A bit dark, maybe for a movie about an assassination. This concludes my RPM for this year :) Thanks to anyone who has listened.

Song 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo

Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…

Song #6 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. This one is sort of a dance (anti-dance) song. Composed mostly using my Juno Synth. It took ages to put together oddly. Thanks to anyone who dares to listen!

Big sound, you still have the touch. I wonder what you are doing the other 11 months of the year (more a statement than a question). I hope you are writing, performing or something associated with music. I always enjoy hearing what you produce.

We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.

I really like this. It reminds me of the early industrial stuff, bits of Skinny Puppy? The vocal work gives it a completely different feel, but the bass and drums pound.

RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Some more experiments basing on JI frequencies and using random objects to control in Pure Data. I'm also using a voice sample from a Freesound.org user, Adharca. Planning to remix this a few times, this is one for new event on Discord.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

An epic song about bathroom remodeling. Written and recorded by request.
-------------------------------
So many things are going wrong
It’s been getting worse far too long
I cannot bear to look at you
You cannot do the things you used…
That is a fun song that can be read in many different ways :). Nicely done!!! I feel a the bath calling me after listening to this. Oh, nice guitar solo here too.
Digital Sea is an ambient generative music piece written in the Pure Data programming language. It is constantly changing, circulating, and flowing.
The program written to record this piece is capable of generating a unique, endless performance…
Wow! Nicely done and great collaboration (those are always the best). Congrats on your FAWM!!! I was away for a while .....it's a treat to come back and listen to the finished creations.

This is it ... FAWM's all finished for me... time for a lie down now.
There's still nearly a week to go, but I'm done, 14 songs written in 16…
Amazing how this came towards the end of the challenge...simply gorgeous. I don't hear any fatigue in it. A sad song though and I'm imagining the story behind it. Beautiful.

UPDATE: 8 Hours after posting I just spotted that I listened to and favourited a song called... um... "We're Done" by oldfolks2 - check it out…
This is another great one!!! and catchy too. I also loved hearing your description of how this came about - I totally relate!!! I actually don't like most of my own songs. This song captures the spirit of these challenges :)

Feels like I'm on the last lap now. Only 3 more needed.
This one came from a suggestion from Mrs R this morning. I didn't quite fancy it, but…
Comments on Ricia Rae's stuff

Just looking at the track profile I could tell there was gonna be a ripping outro and I was happy to wait for it :P
Outstanding song! Great feel and flow. :)
Cool .....another Great Tune!!!
Excellent song! It's got kind of a Kate Bush feel. :)
Beautiful slow build. After hearing this, and recently breaking out my old Roland beat box, I feel a sudden need to get an old analog synth. :P
That synth is so lonely and the vocal accompanying is a perfect fit

Cool song! I love that title too. The vocals are great....creates a great vibe. These challenges bring out such great music.
