| AGEING BONES | AGEING BONES 2022 | Experimental, Soundtrack | EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes) | We made an EP for the 2022 RPM Challenge and it's DONE! . My friend and longtime guitar-playing musical collaborator George Robertson have formed a project called AGEING BONES. We created some quickly -mixed instrumental sketches using Garageband in Ottawa, and some cuts sent to George to add his guitar. AGEING BONES 2022 is about our aches and ailments as we grow older; our worries, our slow responses to each other; our weakened bodies in winter; the paralysis of loneliness; the moments of grief and beauty in the winter months, the pain and comfort in the routine, the darkness and rage that simmers under the smile of an unwelcome convoy occupier; the shimmer of banging out notes , knowing backroom deals are being made somewhere; the politicians appeasing fascism and then replicating it; the truck convoy-inspired havoc of harassment; the middle-aged daily occupational dread and hope as we change seasons. There's quiet, noise, dark humour, and some sloppy ideas we needed to get out. Sending love from Ottawa & St. John's. Enjoy these freshly fallen sketches. Love may still win somehow. xo Glenn AGEING BONES Glenn Nuotio + George Robertson | Canada | Newfoundland and Labrador | St. John's / Ottawa | https://nuotio.bandcamp.com/album/ageing-bones-rpm-2022 |

| Daniel Hornell | Ten Years | Punk, Rock | LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes) | Every Year I take part in the RPM Song Writing Challenge to write 10 brand new original songs during the month of February. This year, "Ten Years" is what I came up with. ...I went a little overboard with the whole "Ten" thing. Ten Years: I started with the idea that each song could represent a year of a decade. I figured With the 2010's just recently ending (and my 20's along With it) that decade would be easy to write about. So this album basically summarizes some aspect of each other those years. Ten Chords: I used only 10 different chords. Ten Drum Beats: I got my friend (and fellow The Goodbye Summer member) Alex Heibein to record 10 different drumbeats for me to mix & match across the record. These were the only drums I used. Ten Guitars: Just Kidding. | Canada | Nova Scotia | Kentville | https://danielhornell.bandcamp.com/album/ten-years |

I used GarageBand to record, and for drum and synth tracks. I'm still very much a beginner with recording, and had some trouble working out some problems...so there's much room for improvement with this track. But every year, I learn a little more about the process, and enjoy it so much.
