There’s an @RPMChallenge song in here somewhere… Slighter – Redline (Club Mix) by colinc

A little bit about me: I went to a University with an adjunct program that allowed students to create their own individualized majors (it’s called the Johnston Center).  You see, my interests and passions were too diverse for me to settle with one single field of study.  We didn’t have letter grades — that doesn’t […]

Fucking. Radiohead.

What I learned about making music for the RPM Challenge this week.

As of today I’m slightly more than halfway through my RPM album and the second half seems like it should be pretty much a breeze since all the leitmotifs should be done.

So this is the third and final part chronicling the evolution of my music.  What started out as a fascination with synthesizers largely due to the shallow(er) learning curve turned into an avid interest in electronic and computer-generated music.  Ironically, digging into the history of electronic music sent me in the opposite direction, towards more […]

This RSotD is cheating a bit.  It’s me.  This is a remix of @artfulmark’s new Coffee Break demo (which you should also check out).  You should check out the other remixes of Coffee Break, too. ArtfulMark – Coffee Break (jazzs3quence’s glitched-out remix) by jazzs3quence

What I don’t mention in this video blog (but I did on my blog on The RPM Challenge) is that I’ve also decided on a title for the album, Wasp.  You can head over there if you want the full description, I’m too lazy to repost something I’ve already written here. Also, an interesting thing […]
