Andrea Szirbik Groft	Dressed in white	Folk, Singer-Songwriter	I wrote this song as a wedding present for my cousin who just got married. It is the first time that I have watched someone get married who I have watched grow up (I'm quite a bit older than her). I felt like I was channeling all of the emotions of parents watching their kids get married as I wrote this song and I almost envision it could be a father daughter first dance song. I'm still not "done" with arranging it or recording it, but this is a song I would have obsessed over for a super long time so I am grateful for the time limit. :)	https://soundcloud.com/groft-family-farm

Bukupanda	Buku	Hip-Hop	Composed this beat on the first of the month and added the rhymes on top, then sat on it with little tweaks here and there but got distracted by other unfinished projects. So this is a deadline mix job and said some quick live muting for an arrangement. Tracked with Koala and Loopy Pro, Ipad + iOS, all in the box, vox was internal mic’d	http://soundcloud.com/bukupanda

Kevyspice	Reduce, Reuse, Recycle I	Electronic, Noise	Smooshed together an old drum machine arrangement I'd programmed in 1996, a short tape loop from a couple of years ago, and some synth noises from a little Korg volca, ran 'em through some guitar pedals, recorded live into Reaper, and just adjusted the volume levels a little bit before rendering. Mostly just wanted to see if the setup worked, like writing a nonsense poem in WordPad or whatever to test the $10 printer from the thrift store. Looking forward to making more intentional nonsense in the future. :)	https://alonetone.com/kevyspice
KV Schaefer	How Much Hummus Is Too Much Hummus ?!?!?!	Rock, Punk	From the Wikipedia: “Hummus (/ˈhʊməs/, /ˈhʌməs/; Arabic: حُمُّص ḥummuṣ, “chickpeas”),also spelled hommus or houmous, is a dip of Arab origin, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. The standard garnish in the Middle East includes olive oil, a few whole chickpeas, parsley, and paprika.” But……how much is too much???	https://www.kyleschaefer.com

Luna Ponderosa	Cherenkov	Guitar, Retro	Trying out a couple of new pedals. Guitar, bass, drumachine, voice. Vertigo is unpleasant. Not everything has to mean something, even in its excess. Whom do you trust to give you good information?	https://siralfrediv.bandcamp.com
Malady of Knots & fencepost	The Price of Greed : Seveso	Experimental, Field Recording		https://lessthanone.bandcamp.com
Metamere	Hope For Tomorrow	Electronic, Classical	This piece is somewhat programmatic, somewhat expressive. I wanted to tell a story of moving from a dark place of drudgery and powerlessness to finding courage, strength, purpose, and joy. I’ve been a part of the community for a bit, but this was my first submission. I was excited to use my updated and repaired Synthstrom Deluge to make something cool. I wanted to make full use of its new OLED display, but it didn’t make much difference for this particular song, since I was mostly using my older methods of midi sequencing of synths and multisampled instruments, recording keys improv, and simple beats with synth drums. I did advance my skills a bit learning to use the arranger mode, which allowed me to make a more complex structure for the composition and free up my hands for twisting knobs and doing some keys improv with the lead in the first section during the recording. On the Deluge I used the Drumuge synth kits for the beats, and a TAL Fairlight vibraphone multisampled instrument, which I adore. The other gear used in it were the Dreadbox Typhon for the drone and lead (a patch I modified from the Biblos7 preset),the Korg Minilogue xd with a strings patch I based on the synth strings from Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays’ “As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls” (from the section that was used in a famous cologne ad). I recorded it onto SD card on the Tascam Model 12 Mixer, so I only used the PC for the Audacity software to trim the ends and convert to mp3.	https://soundcloud.com/metamere/tracks
Mikey Hogan	You Mess With Me	Metal, Punk	I wrote this song on an uke as part of a song a day project a few years ago. Following an encounter at work this month the song jumped right back in to my head and it was louder.	https://alonetone.com/MikeyHogan
Nate Monoxide	Gomorrah (Sin City)	Dark, Electronic	Month 2 of straying outside my comfort zone. Went through three sets of lyrics and vocals before settling on this version. Inspired by The Prodigy, The Old Testament and Las Vegas.	https://soundcloud.com/natemonoxide/gomorrah
phog masheeen	Noise Girl	Experimental, Pop	This is a song about a crossdressing noise performer at the Norcal Noisefest a few years back.	https://soundcloud.com/mark-a-soden-jr
Safest Outbound Sparrows	In That Moment	Spoken Word, Experimental	Just a simple heartfelt spoken word track, backed by piano. Not a lot of trickery with this one.	https://safestoutboundsparrows.bandcamp.com/album/fragments
Savory Flakes	Five Brightly Colored Wires	Rock	Added a bit too much reverb at the end but saw the time running away. This song is an effort to understand what happens when factions exist in isolation, even of themselves. Thanks to Mike K for the drums, and thanks to my favorite store for another cool 80s synth (QS8.1!). I never know where these things will end up. Thanks to the R.E.M. Challenge and I appreciate your comments.	https://on.soundcloud.com/PU97c
