Song 7 for my RPM challenge. Thanks to anyone who listens :) words of wisdom songs of pride try your best but you can’t live the other side keep it coming try not to know remember one day we will reap just what we sow do your…

6th song for my RPM album. If you like slow and depressing music...this is for you! I had a blast using my new crash cymbal and brushes...my fingers are not very pleased about playing the bass riff however (ouch). somehow you knew me and…

Song #5 for RPM 2023 - half way to the completion of the album! Wrote this after a very long late night walk of meditation. And the rain came down It wouldn’t stop As we made our way to the mountain top And the rain came down, the rain…

Here we go..Song 4 for my RPM challenge. This one was a blast to do because of its simplicity. It's a bit dark but with a hint of humour. I never thought I would need to return to nuclear allusions in a song - it isn't 1985...oh well. They…

Okay, RPM Song 3 finished. It's a weird song melodically speaking (yup, that's actually intentional lol). Oddly, it took an extremely long time to produce this one and my eyes are now very blurry. I guess this is an "urban" song (though I…

Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

Well....this one can't really count towards my RPM as I completed it just before February. Thought I'd post it just for the heck of it. Thanks to anyone who listens! It's a song inspired by listening to a lot of fun guitar riffs.

First song for my 2023 RPM challenge. As in all previous years.....just get it bloody done! Sleepless nights, hours in my basement "studio", falling behind with work....loving every moment. I wrote this first track on February 1st in the wee…

Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…

Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…

Given it's Valentine's Day ...I thought I'd write a little love song. This is Song #8 for my 2022 RPM challenge. Practiced a bit of breathy indie vocals and harmonies. Thanks to anyone who's listening. :). You thrill me you undo me…

My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…

The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…

Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens! Take me to the river and hold me under water Bow down beside…

Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix. I never told you what I wanted no, it don’t feel right the things you say the things you do well they hold me hold me I never asked you for anything I…

Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)

Song 2 for the RPM Challenge. Wrote this at the piano and then had fun trying all sorts of spontaneous vocal harmonies. Switching time signatures for the chorus made for some challenging recording!

Song 1 for the RPM Challenge. Wanted to feature an incessant base line inspired by The Smoke.

This is the 10th and final song for my RPM Challenge 2021. It is a long piece inspired by Tchaikovsky's The Sick Doll. It opens and closes with a modified piano version from the beginning of Tchaikovsky's piece and then twists and turns into…

This is song 9# for my RPM Challenge 2021. Wrote this song one night feeling caught in an impossible situation. Thanks for listening! Just one more track to go :)
