So once again this year I sent a CD to Wired Magazine's RPM Challenge. I had originally planned on creating an 8 song concept album which I planned out, recorded a draft of one song, and wrote and partially recorded the music for two more songs. At the same time I was moving from one house to another and after about a week of 8 or more hours a day of moving stuff I realized I was going to have to ditch the concept album idea all together. I can't remember how but I decided to do two pieces with mostly guitars that beat the 35 minute limit. I got two nights to work on it and I managed to crank out something that fit the requirements. It really does have its moments but a lot of those are countered by the other moments. Give it a listen: http://instituteforpsychicreform.rpmchallenge.com/
There was a chance my post mark was too late but it would appear they let me slip through. I think my other albums were far better. I also wish I hadn't been moving. And I wish this lottery ticket were a winner...
