I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…

Someone's opened my ears (not sure who, but it's probably someone on here) - I started listening to this the other day and thought "yeah, it's ok" and stopped it after 30 seconds to look for something else.
I love the title though, so I just gave it another go... well, someone's opened my ears since then! Like it a lot :-)
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with
the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street"

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.
Until Then (Shine…
Missed this originally. Love it.
I'm a sucker for songs with the word "shine" in anyway (I've used it several times over the years, myself). I just LOVE the word and the concept of "shine" when it's applied to humans - seems to be a really powerful trigger. I would use it in every song I write if I could!!! (Would kind of waste it's power though lol)
And this one doesn't waste it... a really beautiful song and performance. Faved.
Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.
I was…
Leading edge FX man.
At first it was sort of any way the wind blows, then at 2 minutes I had to close my door because it got spooky in here. I'd like to hear it with other Sandbags type sounds.
Sorry About The Quality of the recording on this one...
A Friend of Mine (64Guitars From Songcrafters. Org ) challenged me to write a song about a subject (a Secret....Lol)....
This was finished 45 mins Later...
Will be Good for me on Open…
Oh, I had such big plans for this song. Acoustic guitar, tin whistle, maybe go and drag the bagpipes out of storage (cough, or as the case really would be: fire up Logic, so I can use an external plugin).
I went to storm spotters training instead…
Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.
For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…
This is the title track of my RPM 2010 album. It describes how I juggle the bills each week and try to make ends meet. If you know the old joke, if the ends would not necessarily meet but just wave at each other once in a while, I'd be happy.
This is my most angry song.
Sodom And Gamorrah

How many times have we seen it?
Headline the evening news.
How many faces have been featured
While the tabloids expose the ruse?
How many sweet young things

I started out with a shape on my fretboard and kept splitting it 1/2 step down and came up with this orchestral electronic sounding riff. Then I slowly added the other parts one by one finally adding the wind to give it a sailing feel. Very cool.
This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
My first serious/non-serious effort on the [Everyday Looper iPhone app](http://www.mancingdolecules.com/everyday-looper/).
Stats:
* 100% recorded through the iPhone
* probably 95% iPhone headset mic, 5% internal mic
* 98% my voice, 2% my piano…
Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Feeling a bit drained by the 2010 RPM Challenge and overwhelmed by the wide assortment of music it leaves in its wake, I recorded this tune. At first, this was an attempt to experiment with creating my own convolution reverb samples, but it turned…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Very stirring! Looking forward to hearing it progress.

Tip of the hat to the back beaters. Drums and bass are solid. Great guitars and vox, man, you guys got it all!

Wicked track gents. Great guitars and vox.
Splendid Sir, Very well done.
You aced it K. Real professional sound. Dazzling trumpets too.
We Irish ignore anything that we can't drink or punch. :D

Good Luck man. I wish you all the best.
Great horn break too. I like this song and the lyrics.
Classic E.R. and well said. I wonder everyday where we are going. Let's run for office :D
Causally Hip. The percussion is Jazzy Jack. Love it man.
Pretty snazzy fellas. Some cool beats happening....
Chilling on the first listen. This is a fine song. Gracious and gentle. Very well preformed.
Cool! a human beat box plus.
Wow, you got some really neat sounds from that guitar. I gotta get one of those ebow thingys.
Oh yeah! Cool rock and roll. Great guitar work. My kinda jam.
:) Groovin' and captivating. One mo' time!
That drum sound is so distinctive and different. Very unusual and cool.
The extra percussion really adds to this groove nicely. Classic rock and roll. Cool!
