I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

This is a filler piece for this cool new CD I'm working on. I got this Clint movie thing working pretty good :) Think of it as our hero horsebackin' it across the plains in the land of the big sky.
I think the piano has a bit of Robert Nichols…
Nice music,,, sounds like two 4 note run ons to my ear,(is that right?, actually i hear them as c,b,a,g, then d,c,b,a),, anyway they work very well,, it's really great the way you find a simple progression (and i mean that as a complement) and make it beautiful..
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…

sunshines on waves of grain
purple mountains are turning grey
duck and cover, the theme of the day
as times collide in the USA
spacious skies pourin' rain
Mississippi she's floodin the plains
run for cover, it's comming your way
we…
Seems to be that one song everyone likes.
Lyrics:
Stary night, the highway fades
a hundred miles and I'm on my way
I got up late
Lazy days and even crazier nights
there she was, on her way
she stuck her thumb out for me to see…

Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
I remember when we were young
I remember waiting for the sun
you said you loved me
you said you need me
you said you want me
and that was forever
I remember the stories of our days
I remember the tears in your eyes

I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.
My Skin
Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in

Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers.
all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers.
For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A
A,Bb(A#),C,D,E,F,G,(A)
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…

That's some dark surf-water.

Yeah!!!
This one is still killer too!

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.

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!!!
