This was the second track for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny. It was written and recorded in an hour and a half in the middle of the night. Also the first time I ever played keyboards of any sort and there was no time…

Finally a good cut of this one. Named after Daniel Burnham of Chicago's Burnham Plan, this song is about the downfall of western capitalism. I'm completely unprepared for it myself -- I have no idea what I'll wear.

The *cough* future *cough* mayor of Chicago holding court with his corporate backers.

This song is about George Washington, and how politicians in the *cough* future world this album inhabits *cough* could perhaps use a bit of his character.

This song is a meditation on the concept of freedom.

Again, Jess' lyrics speak for themselves. Man, distorted guitar is tough to mix around.

Jess wrote the lyrics for this one, and unlike when I write lyrics, they speak for themselves.

Opening track, sets the scene.

My evening challenge: compose and record a piece in an evening. I stitched together a couple of demos and added a virtual Harry Partch instrument.
