The RPM Challenge
As many of you (all three of you) know, I recently participated in the RPM Challenge, wherein musicians challenge themselves to write and record an entire album in the month of February. You can go to their website for the whole spiel; suffice it to say that I did this, and now that February is over, I'm feeling relieved.
A common problem I run into with writing music is my quality control. It's so strict that I nix potential songs before I even try to write them, because I'm worried that the lyrics are trite or the hook isn't catchy or the harmonic movement isn't profound enough. It's been really nice to put that aside and just write, because it turns out that, yeah, some bad stuff got through, but a lot of this music is totally different from what I made before. This excites me and makes me happy. I hope that it excites you and makes you happy.
I've put up some new tracks from the new album, called The Big Finish for you to download. I'll be putting up a couple of tracks every few days for the coming 3 or 4 weeks. The first two are tracks one and three:
I haven't decided yet whether I want to take down old tracks as I upload new ones, so you'll probably want to get them while they're fresh and hot!
Send me an email or contact me on my obligatory MySpace account if you like (or have a strong reaction to) what you hear.
