Studio Dort
In preparation for next month’s RPM Challenge 2010, Nate Dort and I got together at his studio and re-recorded this track from last year’s Feat 52. (Nate Dort on bass, keys, faders.) Having worked some of the kinks out, we’ll be ready to hit the ground running next monday. Stay tuned for more info on and links to our project.
About 2 months ago i signed up to take part in The RPM Challenge. I’ve finally gotten around to uploading the tracks for the resulting record Outros to my rpm challenge profile. Per the rules of the challenge, the entire record was written and recorded in february. It started out far too leisurely and ended in a crash-and-burn fashion, the likes of which i haven’t experienced since finals in college. Needless to say, while i’m proud of what some of the tracks became, others are just… interesting.
check it out. let me know what you think.
Feat 52: Week #9
a short sketch that came together a few days ago… a memory of an outdoor record sale…
also a part of the RPM Challenge Outros. (which, as of this past weekend, is done.) check back soon for more info about it.
Feat 52: Week #8
no, i am not a threat to myself. i think this is normal… curiosities about things that are out of bounds… part of the human experience/condition i reckon. a darker part but a part nonetheless.
another tune included in the RPM Challenge record Outros. rapidly approaching… shit…
Feat 52: Week #7
an instumental number. shall i say… influences are obvious…
cheers.
this song will also be a part of my RPM Challenge record Outros.
Feat 52: Week #6
one reason i’d find it hard to live on the west coast is the oh-so-noticeable absence of thunderstorms like i’m used to - growing up in maine. this is a song inspired by those storms that visited us out in the countryside.
Feat 52: Week #5
Anyone who hasn’t experienced the ecstasy of betrayal knows nothing about ecstasy at all.

there are some songs that are strange, nocturnal creatures that can be captured or experience only late at night. this has been such a song. i have to be just tired enough, full of wine, hunched over a guitar that i can barely play… and it perches on my windowsill, smirking at my frustration and self-indulgence. then, if i can, i catch it and add it to the collection. but they’re never again as beautiful to me as they were the evening they first visited, wild and innocent, unmolested by my ego, my inability.
this song will also be in the record i’m making for the RPM Challenge, which i’m tentatively calling Outros. i love them. i come to life in outros.
a couple days ago i signed up to take part in The RPM Challenge. the challenge is simply to write and record at least a 10-song or 35-minute record in the month of February. i figured i’m doing 4 songs this month anyway, so why not add another 6 and make it a collection. while i’ll be posting the songs here, there will be more up-to-date info about the project’s progress over at my profile on rpmchallenge.com. this is going to be a very… busy month. stay tuned…
