Entry #1 RPM 2013
Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late

I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you

Rock, Rock and roll , the parent were in despair

The Man
There he stands, shaking hands
smiling wide with his joker smile
promises spew out of his mouth
do you believe
all he wants to do is steal the breath that feeds your child
he don’t care
he don’t give a dam
he’s…

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-)
Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.

I wrote these words for a different WildGeas track some time ago -- probably at least a couple years ago by now. As is so often the case, I was too slow in producing and someone else had already taken the track and run with it. Well, these lyrics were just sitting unused in a pile of other less finished scraps that I happened to be digging through recently when I remembered Paul's request for lyrics for this year's RPM. I'm so glad they finally got used! You guys took them out of the context they were written for and put a nice new spin on 'em. You two make a really great team and I must say I'm proud to have been allowed to contribute a small part. Lord knows you don't need another lyricist when you've got REG on the job!! :-)

Pain of Loss

The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…

just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…
By no means the first song that popped out. It's just the first one I'm calling done beyond a remix. I think this will wind up leading in to a metal tune and will likely be shorter.
Written and Recorded: Feb 05, 2010
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD - capo V), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity...all fingers, no picks.
2010 RPM Challenge
Just a fragment.. but thought it was worth including..
If I were to lose you now
I don't know that I could cope
Please don't leave me now, don't go
You're my only hope.
Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
A song about falling asleep on the couch, so there is no mystery to it! But the loose change is in the cushions, lights and tv are on, and the oven has been set to 350 for several hours :)
One vocal & acoustic take with a harmony and noodle…
I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh?
I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM.
And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...
Written and Recorded: Feb…
I read about the technique, used by Steve Reich, of playing multiple copies of the same audio at different speed to create phase differences.
I decided to do a little experiment and built myself a Reaktor ensemble using 3 granular sampler units…
Comments on Wildgeas Music's stuff
Nice chilled out track to open your RPM!
here's to doin' our own thing...cheers mate!
that's quite a recap tucked into this four minute nugget! But the best part is the message at the end...
this one could go on... a beautyful little mood piece
This is a really good one too... great guitar & keys. Another great collab! /faved/
Wicked guitar right off the bat! So far this is my favorite Reg/Geas track...
Woah, Reg channeling Roger Waters on this one, eh?
This is beautiful! Will have to check out the whole album later
Superb stuff.
I seem to have embarked on listen No 2 of the whole thing... lol You're right to be proud of it - it's pretty damn good.
Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-) Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
fun piece u 2,, the guitar play issss really really fine,, reminds me a bit of santana's style

Very nice work, gents! Very nice indeed.
great album. you guys should be proud.
neil diamond/phil lynott vox is killer. another good one.
dig it. good stuff.
Cool tune. Dig the rap....reminds me of something Eric Burdon would do.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Great tune and exceptional lyrics. Spot on

You have a style all your own M. I like that. My compliments to the chef.
This is very original. Nice job on the mix too. 70 tracks deserves some kind of award :)
This is exceptional Mr.M. I was wondering if the electronics is the Reichatron?
I'm glad you got on board with RPM. I dig this style you have.
Thanks one and all. I appreciate the support.
Interesting sounds Doug. Colorful.
Outstanding track!! The vocals are perfect. instant fav.
Great set of songs and this one tops the bunch. Super effort man.
I'm diggin' this one.
Oh man, this is sharp. Nice job Alex.
Interesting style and sound. I'm diggin' your RPM efforts.
lots of stuff going on here. Works real well with my morning coffee.
Ha! he calls this filler......... sweet filler.
I like it! :)
Whew! Great performance. That's some fast pickin'.
Sweet Hayley backwards. :) Nice piano.
Duncans sound crisp. Startin' off nicely Doug.
I wonder what that would do to a guitar........ Real nice.
Double stamp of approval after applying head phones.
Man, those are some sweet harmonies. Great bass playing too. Damn!!!
