About

A melding and mixing of various instruments (analogue Synth, guitars, piano, bass), vocals and sounds. Most of the tracks are on the "electronika" side of things. All were written, recorded and produced in February. It got a bit weird sometimes but that's part of the RPM spirit. Most were recorded well after midnight and it may show.

Favourite Moment

When I inadvertently recorded the sound of chopping vegetables in the background of one track - with enough reverb it made for a cool sound.

Advice

Yup, trust the RPM process.
