Spice Rack Collective

Alternate version of a sweet little song that Margaret, Kenny, and I (Kevin) recorded for a different recording project. We re-recorded the acoustic instruments for the "real" version, so I used the original live-off-the-floor guitar and bass…

A catchy tale of love gone wrong. Kenny Tannehill - lyrics, arrangement, vocals, acoustic guitar Dan Hollands - electric guitar Mike Anders - Italian kiss-offs Kevin Craig - recording, drums, bass, mixing Get Out Of Here (Arrivederci…

Mike’s sweet meditation on the fleeting intersection of two phases of life. Mike Anders - songwriting, lyrics, vocals, guitar John “JD” Di Dio - harmonica Margaret Bibb - background vocals Kevin Craig - bass, recording, mixing Through…

Yet another casserole thrown together at the last minute! Added a homebrewed percussion loop and some Hainbach drum loops to the second half of a guitar and bass jam that Dan and Kevin had recorded previously, then ran all that through some AudioThing…

Some of the Collective got together at the studio on the last Saturday in April (the first chance we'd had that month!) to record some stuff. After putting down some tracks with the group for another song, Dan and I (Kevin) jammed to a click track…

Tape loop, noise loop, oscillating noise pedal, and some Korg Little Bits synth modules running a short sequence. Twiddled knobs on the oscillator and synth modules while the tape and noise loops were running, then chopped up the static and the…

Ran the Petrushka chord through a bunch of modules in VCV Rack.

Messed around with the Petrushka chord in VCV Rack, then added a couple more effects in Reaper. (Thanks to Omri Cohen for creating a neat VCV patch and Ben Levin for his recent video on that chord.)

Same as the previous track, with the addition of a drum machine run through some effects pedals.

The Sweepers joined us in the studio again to kindly bring some of their originals (and whiskey!) for the group RPM effort. Woohoo! Willis ??? - guitar Tommy U. - guitar Bob P. - bass Jonny P. - drums Kevin C. - recording and mixing

Maggie’s beautiful, heartbreaking hymn to loved ones lost too soon. The intense, somber feeling of loss, both individual and communal, and support in the room as the other 6 or 7 of us listened to Maggie and Sara Beth perform the first take…

Another Sweepers original. Thanks, guys! Willis ??? - vocals, guitar Tommy U. - guitar Bob P. - bass Jonny P. - drums Kevin C. - recording, mixing

Another Sweepers original. Thanks, guys! (Not sure where the occasional snare ring is coming from, but I didn't have time to track it down...) Willis ??? - vocals, guitar Tommy U. - guitar Bob P. - bass Jonny P. - drums Kevin C. - recording…

Another lovely Monroe-Robinson collaboration. This one was originally titled "It's There For Us," but when Robbie's wife really liked the line "it's simple and easy to say the words that keep us alive" in a draft version, Leum was happy to retitle…

Mike's fun rockabilly follow-up to Scammers, Spammers, and Cons from a previous RPM Challenge. We recorded the drums, bass, one rhythm guitar track, and a scratch vocal take live off the floor, then added the other guitar tracks and a clean…

Another lovely song from Leum. He's prolific, that one is! It was fun to collaborate on lyrical tweaks for this one, working together to tighten up a solid draft into a rich, compact song. For recording, we used a couple of condenser mics…
