ABSTRXN	Heliosphere	Electronic, Synth	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	ALL PROCEEDS from the sales and streaming of this record will be donated to Humane Indiana, Northwest Indiana’s premier animal shelter. Both members of ABSTRXN have rescued beloved pets from this shelter, and hope you can help us give back. Each of the songs on this record began life as analog synth based performances, written and sequenced outside a computer/daw.

acoustic57	RPM Challenge 2022	Singer-Songwriter	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Acoustic folk/blues/rock.

I'm older and struggling with technology :-(	United States of America	New Hampshire	Northfield	http://alonetone.com/acoustic57
acoustichewy	Allostatic Overload (Bare Bones Edition)	Folk, Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A collection of hastily-recorded reflections for the RPM Challenge 2022 (www.rpmchallenge.com). This marks my seventeenth straight successful RPM Challenge. It's a stripped down, mostly-mellow album for a not-so-mellow time, in its raw form as it came out of me over the span of a couple nights in February, 2022.	United States of America	Oregon	Eugene	https://soundcloud.com/acoustichewy/sets/allostatic-overload

Alternate Modes Of Underwater Consciousness (AMUC)	The Neon Sleeping Device	Electronic	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Cerebral, proggy electronic with all-over-the-place dynamics and drunken AI.

Ambermor	Rooms of the House	Experimental, Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Two musicians who are super fans of each other got together and made an album!

amelia	Ironsworn: The Musical	Soundtrack, Indie	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I wrote some musical numbers for a tabletop RPG campaign! There's a breakup song, a Sacred Harp-esque chorale, a classic fast-talking deuteragonist number, and... the potential first movement of a prog rock suite?? It's my first time writing original songs with lyrics and it's been a blast!! I used SynthV voicebanks (mostly Kevin and Solaria) for the vocals, but The Vultures And The Jackals has me singing and jeering on top of some voicebanks as a drunken bar chorus :)	United States of America	Texas	Bedford	https://soundcloud.com/chaoscontrolled123/sets/ironsworn-the-musical
Amelia Wilcox	Better Versions	Pop, Electronic	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	This was my first solo EP and I wrote/recorded it in my little apartment. I wanted to create a set of tracks that fit together, and was excited to lean into a "pop" sound. I like to think of these songs as "love songs" that are as much written to myself as they are written for the people who are most important to me.	United States of America	Vermont	Burlington	https://ameliawilcox.bandcamp.com/releases
Anarene	Physical Worlds	Folk	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)		United States of America	New York	Buffalo	https://anarene.bandcamp.com/releases
Andrew & Andy	current	Electronic, Field Recording	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Warning, do not proceed if you are easily annoyed by word play and horrible puns! The flow of this project came from our current musical interests merging together like a stream turns to a river. Though current technology requires a current of electricity, we did manage float some acoustic elements over the ever moving musical journey down with the current taking us all the way to the . . . oh, we just recorded electro-acoustic instruments!	United States of America	Washington	Olympia	https://soundcloud.com/mind2grooveratio/rpm-challenge-2022-current
Andrew North	Beneath the Moon	Rock, Indie	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	I wanted to scale down and focus on doing one song really well this time around - I'm super happy with how it came out and I ended up exploring a really different song space from my usual work	United States of America	New Hampshire	Concord	https://andrewnorth.bandcamp.com/track/beneath-the-moon
angie fights crime	Ω	Pop, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	it's a masterpiece	United States of America	Missouri	Kansas City	https://alonetone.com/angiefightscrime/playlists/ω
AnnaCamila	#TheBreakUpEP #RPMChallenge	Indie, Hip-Hop	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I went through a break up right at the beginning of this challenge so I had a lot to talk about and this became the most cathartic and healing thing I could have hoped for. It clarified my feeling and perspective, reminded me of my value and what I deserve. It also served as an opportunity to say the things to my ex that I wanted to say but knew wouldn't be heard... It took me 4 days to write the majority and then I spent the rest of the month tinkering with mixing (this is my first time producing, engineering performing and mixing an album without any outside help.. except Lando throwing that perfect verse in to round out MTJL and give the project the response perspective). I'm really proud of this project and super grateful to RPM Challenge for the outlet.	United States of America	Washington	Freeland	https://annacamila.bandcamp.com/album/thebreakupep-rpmchallenge
Anomick	Dreamcaster	Experimental, Jazz	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	3 music college buddies with interests in artsy lo-fi writing about how we musically process our dreams (sleeping dreams, not career goals)..

Armen Yampolsky	RPM 2022 EP	Singer-Songwriter	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	My second RPM challenge	United States of America	California	Los Angeles	https://soundcloud.com/manovermatter/sets/2022-rpm-challenge
Ask The Monkey	Don't Stop	Indie, Retro	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Ask The Monkey is a writing/recording project from Song Writer/Vocalist/Saxophonist Ed Wynne. The writing process for this EP started with a local ska/reggae band that I was performing with, the band was super fun and sounded great so I nudged the band leader about possibly writing some original material for the band...long story short, nobody in the band could be bothered to contribute or participate so I wrote and recorded some demos myself with the help of a couple horn player friends on one track. I have 7 songs total, here are the 3 Ska tunes, hopefully I can get the 4 reggae songs released soon.	United States of America	California	Burbank	https://edwynne.bandcamp.com/album/dont-stop
Avant Yarde	In a Field	Ambient, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Just give me a deadline and the wheels start turning	United States of America	New Hampshire	Epping	https://alonetone.com/avantyarde
Bae Radbury	Solid Lines	Electronic, Pop	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	This was my first time recording a record with vocals on it. It was made while balancing my time as an engineering student.	United States of America	Vermont	Burlington	https://baeradbury.bandcamp.com/album/solid-lines
Balding Eagle	s/t	Punk, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A punk rock album about being old and washed up. Juvenile music by (and for?) middle-aged has-beens.	United States of America	New Hampshire	Madbury	https://baldingeagleband.bandcamp.com/releases
Bangsplat	Precious Metal-People	Electronic, Experimental	Boxed Set (30 tracks or 100 minutes or higher)	I was inspired by ancient robots. The Buddhist scholar Daoxuan (596-667 CE) wrote about "precious metal-people," humanoid automata that recited sacred texts and cried when the Buddha died. René Descartes believed that animals and humans were just biological machines, and had a mechanical doll version of his dead daughter, Francine. Leonardo Da Vinci designed, and may have built, an automaton of a knight in armor.	United States of America	California	Los Angeles	https://bangsplat.bandcamp.com/album/precious-metal-people
Ben Schrier	Please Don't Take Anything I Say Too Seriously	Indie, Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I went into the challenge just wanting to have some tangible songs that I could listen to and play. I planned on doing an album, but school got pretty busy during the month so I ended up with an EP. I wrote everything on acoustic guitar and then did recordings in my room. I did use my university's recording studio for a few sessions as well, so I was able to get some really nice guitar and piano sounds. Ultimately I made this EP for myself, but I'm hoping my friends and family get something out of it as well.	United States of America	Michigan	Ann Arbor	https://soundcloud.com/ben-schrier-457455806/sets/please-dont-take-anything-i-say-too-seriously-ep

Big Rips	Fake Music	Punk, Indie	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	I made a rock and roll record for pretty much just me! February got away from me, but I'm happy to have something here!	United States of America	New Jersey	Asbury Park	https://alonetone.com/bigrips/playlists/fake-music-demos
Big Tired	Close Enough	Electronic, Guitar	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made a 10 song "dawless" instrumental album, using guitar, a Deluge synthesizer/looper and a couple effects. Everything was recorded to the Deluge SD card. I made this mostly just to prove to myself that I could do it. It was pretty much done by the 2nd week of February. At that point I felt like I had run out of steam so I stepped back and never returned.	United States of America	Michigan	Grand Rapids	https://soundcloud.com/bigtired/sets/rpm-2022-close-enough
biilborbillb	Sex Gods and Tubby Todds	Spoken Word, Electronic	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Disturbingly harsh ambient music for a spa.	United States of America	California	San Francisco	https://biilborbillb.bandcamp.com/album/sex-gods-and-tubby-todds

Black Bear Black Sheep	sunshine hamster	Electronic, Soundtrack	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	Wanted to make something that was reminiscent of old-school platformer (Crash Bandicoot/Donkey Kong/Rayman) type music, just a little something for all us 90's kids out there	United States of America	Florida	Orlando	https://alonetone.com/BillyBear/tracks/sunshine-hamster
Blake Girndt	Banana Tusks	Indie, Experimental	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	It's a surrealist ouroboros of songs presented in order of creation with the last becoming the first because it was my favorite. I played all the instruments and sang. Used an assortment of computer, dedicated recorder, plugin synths, electronic drums, guitars, and bass.	United States of America	Massachusetts	Marlborough	https://blakegirndt.bandcamp.com/album/banana-tusks
BlueEyez	Illusions	Electronic, Synth	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	This was sort of an experiment with vocals. Didn't turn out exactly like I'd hoped but it was neat to see my idea come to life.	United States of America	Washington	Auburn	https://soundcloud.com/2_blue_eyez/illusions
BogStomp	Abyss	Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Abyss is BogStomp’s submission for the RPM Challenge 2022. I suppose the term ‘abyss’ is being used literally and figuratively for many of the songs, but the main theme is perseverance. The songs are simple and get straight to the point. Enjoy.	United States of America	California	Novato	https://alonetone.com/bogstomp/playlists/abyss
Brad Wallace	Brad Wallace Presents: Alan Lobsters Pt. 1	Indie, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made music! I recorded it all in my apartment, mostly alone. I made it for myself, but if anyone else likes it that's great!	United States of America	Missouri	St. Louis	https://bradwallace.bandcamp.com/album/brad-wallace-presents-alan-lobsters-pt-1
Brian J. Kenny	With Signs Following	Rock, Folk	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made something unexpected this yer and it is an extension of my last two RPM Albums. I used some loops and programmed drums. Vocals are what I'd call scratch. I ran out of time but I think I got the music right.	United States of America	California	Alameda	https://alonetone.com/brianjkenny/playlists/rpm-2022
Bukupanda	Higher	Hip-Hop	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	On the Endlesss app, Shamanic sang what you hear as the hook. I built a track around it, wrote and recorded the rhymes, and assembled it in my DAW, Audio Evolution Mobile on iOS. Inspired by my history of mental health struggles and the fight my cousin takes on every day since she suffered brain aneurysms a few years ago. Dedicated to all who try to push on despite the myriad obstacles life might throw in front and dream about rising above it all. Keep on.	United States of America	California	Stockton	https://soundcloud.com/bukupanda/higher-clean-edit
Cats on Cats	Life Support	Indie, Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I’ve been kicking these songs around for the last year or so. The RPM challenge was the perfect excuse to actually finalized them and put something musical out into the world after about a 20 year slump. I was channeling the spirit of 90s alternative and indie rock when I wrote these, paying tribute to the style of music that made me want to learn guitar. Each song captures a specific moment of my life at ages 17, 26, and 32.	United States of America	Virginia	Richmond	https://catsoncats.bandcamp.com/
Centrale Electrique	Chilled Wind	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Slightly mellower and more disjointed than previous years, likely a reflection of the state of our lives and our focus.	United States of America	Pennsylvania	Pittsburgh	https://alonetone.com/centraleelectrique/playlists/chilled-wind

Challenged	Fiddle Fucking Around	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A mix mash of sound and crazy noises.	United States of America	Vermont	South Burlington	https://challenged.bandcamp.com/album/fiddle-fucking-around-rpm-2022
Chameleon	Seeking Treasure	Indie, Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I made a short 5 track EP. The initial idea was to have it focus around this boy who gets in a fight at the bar and then steals a pirate ship seeking treasure. The EP starts of relaxing and then starts to ramp up till he hits the high seas and enjoys himself before getting caught in a storm. I wanted to try seeing how many different styles of tracks I could write. Minus the High seas, the entire EP was written and recorded in a week.	United States of America	New Jersey	Edison	https://soundcloud.com/firststreetproductions/sets/seeking-treasure?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
Chicago Songwriters Club	A Numbers Game	Indie, Pop	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Members of the Chicago Songwriters Club were randomly paired off to each create a song based on a randomly assigned number.	United States of America	Illinois	Chicago	https://chisongwritingclub.bandcamp.com/
Chip Chop	Back to the Hoi Polloi	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	It's another rock album, with a few punk songs, a few proggy synth songs, a couple heavy shoegaze songs, and a couple throw-aways, because who has time to make 10 good ones? Recorded at home, by myself, except for an organ solo by my friend. It's such a stressful project, but also fun!	United States of America	Illinois	Chicago	https://chipchop.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-the-hoi-polloi-rpm-2022
Chris Anderson	The Solipsist	Singer-Songwriter, Indie	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A small sampling of the 300+ songs written last year, all of which are being addressed. These recordings are but a stop on these songs' journeys. These are some of my favorite songs of the bunch.	United States of America	Virginia	Alexandria	https://chrisanderson-fdm.bandcamp.com/album/the-solipsist-fdm139
Chris Cooke	Unshaven	Folk	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	This is my fifteenth RPM Challenge. I typically write electronic music with soft synths and sampled instruments. This year I challenged myself to use the various acoustic instruments I’ve collected over the years, and in many cases only barely know how to play. Working so far out of my wheelhouse, combined with a particularly rough year psychologically, I had a hard time getting motivated to complete 10 songs like I originally intended. Rather than give up, I gave myself to submit and EP instead of an Album. (This is fair, I think, since I completed a Boxed Set last year!)	United States of America	Maryland	Laurel	https://alonetone.com/chrooke/playlists/unshaven
Chris Hardy World	The Purple Flame	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I wanted a real challenge so I recorded this one on just 4 tracks of analog reel to reel tape - no bouncing, just 4 sounds happening at once! It really forced me to be creative with the arrangement and how the parts fit together in order to make it interesting and I think I got there.	United States of America	South Carolina	Edgefield	https://chrishardy.bandcamp.com/album/the-purple-flame
CleenDirty	Six Ways To Monday	Ambient, Guitar	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)		United States of America	Tennessee	Nashville	https://cleendirty.bandcamp.com/album/six-ways-to-monday-an-rpm-challenge-album
COFFIN WAREHOUSE	celsius	Experimental, Noise	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I'm not sure what I made, but I used a Boss DD-20 Delay & a EQD Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainer.	United States of America	California	Los Angeles	https://coffinwarehouse.bandcamp.com/track/celsius
COFFIN WAREHOUSE	COFFIN WAREHOUSE	Ambient, Experimental	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I recorded myself showering & tried to process the audio to highlight the faint resonances from the interactions between the fan & the water.	United States of America	California	Los Angeles	https://coffinwarehouse.bandcamp.com/album/coffin-warehouse-5
Cole Stanfield	Journeys	Rock, Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Concept collection of songs about life, love and experiences	United States of America	Texas	Austin	https://colestanfield.bandcamp.com/album/journeys-rpm-release
Corporate Mind	Cold School	Experimental, Jazz	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A conglomerate of experimentation and improvisation. I used Cubase and Garageband for multitracking, and Goldwave for wave editing. I also corresponded with fellow musicians online and we attempted to collaborate by listening to each other's tracks. This work was made for anyone wanting to hear alot of experimentation to see examples of possibilities.	United States of America	New York	Buffalo	https://soundcloud.com/corporatemind
Courtney Swain	RPM 2022 - One day EP!	Singer-Songwriter, Experimental	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I wrote an EP in one day while streaming on Twitch!	United States of America	Rhode Island	Providence	https://courtneyswain.bandcamp.com/album/rpm-2022-one-day-ep
Coyote Senate	Cataract	Synth, Metal	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A combination of minimalist and drone metal. Synths and heavily distorted guitar tracks loop in and out of short vocal bridges. Side A is a 20 minute drone metal jam with a nod to Mount Eerie. Side B has a Postal-Service-style synth bop, followed by contrasting guitars and synths, then a long chill wash to bring it all down.	United States of America	Illinois	Chicago	https://alonetone.com/CoyoteSenate/playlists/cataract
Cruel Moon	The Hum	Rock, Indie	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)		United States of America	New York	Warwick	https://soundcloud.com/geeman50/sets/the-hum
Crujiente	Five Fresh Flavors	Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	We made a 5 track rock ep that spans from really heavy to really melodic. Jimmy Corbett has been someone Felipe Collazo (me) has been around in the local music scene for quite a while. We first got to know each other when are bands Maybrick and Monkey Knife Fight would share gigs. Since then Jimmy has also recorded some Monket Knife Fight records because he is an incredible sound engineer. So with his guitar skills, progamming and sequencing skills and sound engineering skills i knew it was a no brainer to reach out to him for this years challenge. Within 3 days he sent me 3 fully fleshed out tracks for me to write lyrics and melodies too. The last two Sundays were spent recording vocals and mixing and that was that. We made this project for the good of mankind.	United States of America	Massachusetts	Lawrence / Littleton	https://crujiente.bandcamp.com/album/five-fresh-flavors

Dandy From Home	The Mold In My Lungs Pt. 1	Indie, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I went in a bit of rock direction with this one. Life, laziness, and lots of technical difficulties nearly killed this record, so I'm happy I've got SOMETHING to present, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out all things considered. Also, it DOES hit the 35 minute mark, I cheated and made the last song a 5 minute bonus song, it's included if you download the album, don't get your hopes up though, it's just noise haha	United States of America	California	Palm Desert	https://dandyfromhome.bandcamp.com/album/the-mold-in-my-lungs-pt-1
Dane Conover	Cosy	Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	My goal was to put into song form some ideas that were fragments, sometimes just one line. With a deadline, it was more likely.	United States of America	California	Santa Cruz	https://soundcloud.com/search?q=%23%20rpm%2022%20dane%20conover

Darling Nights	SWEETER	Electronic, Pop	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Hey! We made a short Darling Nights EP! Entirely electronic. Nikki and I (Dan) collaborated remotely over some tracks I had started after she picked the ones she liked the most on February 1st. It's a bit less dark and slightly more groovy than our last EP overall. We like it, and hope anyone else will as well.	United States of America	New York	HUNTER	https://darlingnights.bandcamp.com/album/sweeter

Eddie Sids	The Sound of Thinking	Electronic, Experimental	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made an electronic album out of disfluencies (uhs, ums, you knows) and silence between questions and answers from interviews that I did for a larger project called Weird Music. Some of the percussion sounds I took from things like finger snaps, cups put down on tables, etc. This is kind of the third album in a thought process of turning non-musical sources into music.

Fairchord & Fixer	Resolutions Permutations & Mystifications	Electronic, Synth	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I wanted to try and make a record mostly on my phone. All the music was made on my iPhone using the Endlesss app and then I recorded vocals over it and mixed it in Ableton. I wanted to do something on instinct - working fast and writing in a stream-of-consciousness way - trying to get away from the idea of perfection and make stuff that just feels right. It was a cool experience and I like the result.	United States of America	Minnesota	Minneapolis	https://soundcloud.com/cerickson/sets/fairchord-fixer-rpm-challenge
Feeling Fuzzy	Fuzzy Feelings	Indie, Singer-Songwriter	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	This record is a collection of song concepts that I intend to polish more throughout the year.

United States of America	California	San Francisco	https://alonetone.com/feelingfuzzy/playlists/fuzzy-feelings---rpm-2022
Firephly	Life Happens	Ambient, Electronic	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I made two tracks that came out of two different Endlesss jams. They both spoke to me in entirely different ways. One to the genre of music I really enjoy and the other by the vocals which are very emotive and relatable. I had contributions to work with as well as my own additions and arranged them in Ableton Live.

Five Extra Arms	Country Songs	Electronic, Country	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	My gal asked me to write Country Songs, so I asked "Which Country?" A couple songs are campy country style, but others are inspired by countries I've lived in. I used GarageBand and actually did this in less than a week. Wrote 6 of the songs in one very long night.

ghostcycles	Portal/Vortex	Field Recording, Experimental	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I wound up with an 11-track set of recordings, after initially registering for the 'EP' length goal. One of the tracks ('Shelliverse') is a full song, flushed out from a song idea I recorded on my phone in a bathroom last fall. Three tracks are edits from an out-there experimental jam session my friend and I had on a casio keyboard, drum machine, and bass, and the rest are a mix of field recordings, sound bytes, and guitar-based musical ideas I layered together. I really enjoyed getting into the idea of 'place' for this album, and focusing more on the environment around me as inspiration, as well as collaboration, though I ultimately did the final compiling and editing on my own. I used a Tascam four-track as a starting point and had fun just plugging in different microphones, a loop pedal etc and seeing how far I could get. I also made some digital recordings around the area where I live, as well as on a trip to the desert. The whole thing was really just an excuse to drag all my music stuff out, nerd out about audio and recording and once I started, everything became a new idea! My partner and I recorded air vents and coyotes. I got some friends to harmonize on a little song idea with me. It was fun! I mainly made the album to get myself to engage in the process of music and audio again after not doing much since last year's RPM! But it is also dedicated to friends who spent time with me being creative this month, and long-distance friends who support my music. I realized as I was publishing the album that this is the ten-year anniversary of me using the artist name 'ghostcycles'. I haven't put out much music recently so this is for the fans :)	United States of America	California	Oakland	https://ghostcycles.bandcamp.com/album/ghostcycles-and-friends-portal-vortex

Jim Bouchard	There is always hope	Folk, Ambient	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	This was a bit of a grab bag of different ideas, recordings of songs I wrote decades ago and needed to document, some improvisations based on chanting and incorporating that into some song ideas. These were done for my brother Albert as he wants me to record some stuff for him. I needed to work on harmonizing with myself for that, which I needed to work on, so this was a helpful challenge to get all that corralled together	United States of America	Massachusetts	Boston	https://jimbouchard.bandcamp.com/album/there-is-always-hope

Kavin.s Acoustic Church	2022 Skidoo	Blues, Guitar	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	After creating an album every February since 2008 for the RPM Challenge, this year I decided to concentrate on just a song because well, stuff. So this, an upbeat, optimistic love song. Bandcamp link and video soon to come. “The expression “23 skidoo,” a slang way of referring to a hasty departure, usually at the behest of external factors, became popular early in the 1900s.”	United States of America	Texas	Fort Worth	https://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/2022-skidoo-(rpm)
Keith Landry	The Center of the Storm	Rock, Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	A nine-song singer/songwriter rock album reflecting upon a year in the life. With brilliant contributions from drummer Liam Byrne and an amazing lead guitar track from Andy Samford, this album is as truthful, joyful, painful, hopeful, and doubtful as the past year has been for me. It is intended to be listened to straight through (like the albums of my youth).

Larry DeLuca	An Open Book	Folk	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I really had no expectations coming into this project. No theme, no grand plans - just write some songs. I did decide this time to make a conscious effort to mostly write for the lower end of my range, which actually made cutting vocals a lot easier - as well as reducing vocal fatigue it gave me fewer takes and more time to work. I also spent more time trying to subtly break other songwriting ruts - an 18-bar phrase instead of a 16, writing a country tune and a Latin number. It's been a really fun record to work on.

Often cacophonous, driving, and frenetic, this EP is a catharsis, possibly a (failed?) exorcism, and a reflection of feelings of frustration, helplessness, and rage amidst the backdrop of two years in a pandemic, the growing tension, ultimately spilling over into invasion in Ukraine, and a worsening political divide in the United States that feels more like a brewing civil war than it does a healthy ideological disagreement. Produced almost entirely on the Synthstrom Deluge (except for Transcendence),Delumination's sound leans into limitations, and treats the Deluge's single stereo output as an effect unto itself, saturating everything to the very brink of chaos. Thanks to my family, particularly my wife, who continue to tolerate me, and to Andrew, Justin, Kreestof, and Robyn for the friendship, feedback, and encouragement to make this happen. Last, but not least, a big thank you and high five to Elling for the work to make RPM come to life.

NOTAREALBANDDONTWORRY	Audio Files	Ambient, Experimental	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	We basically just messed around in FL studio and posted what we came up with.

Ott's Trashpile	Augmented Folk Blues Field Recordings	Blues, Field Recording	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	As a second generation junkman and working musician for the last "fifty-some years," Ott Tarner has experienced his fair share of ups and downs. The songs he performs are directly inspired by what he has seen and lived "from both sides of paying the bills," as he puts it. Captured outside, under the front awning of his workshop in New Hoyle, Oklahoma, the listener is given the experience of being right there in the moment. Traffic noise, bird calls, the jingle of his dog's collar, and the sounds of Ott's Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans being opened, drank, and tossed into the collection bin were all left intact. Though he played the country blues, rags, and hokum tunes he's entertained house parties and juke joints with for more than half a century, Mr. Tarner informed the Shive Records field team he wanted his songs to appeal to a younger audience. To honor this request, the raw field recordings were taken to LoFi Shit studio where digital beats and rhythm sections were overdubbed. The resulting product is an album of rough, raw, and raunchy acoustic recordings mixed with Hip-Hop and Mississippi Hill Country style studio production. Rather than have these recordings released under his legal name, he wanted to use Ott's Trashpile because "that's what people call this place—probably have for 80 years." (referring to the workshop he inherited from his father) Ott gave his full approval upon hearing the final mixes and has high hopes to "gain some fame on the computer."

Oude Kaas	Fragments of an Intact Mirror	Experimental, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	My main constraint was that I would only work with what I had in my home studio (no live drum tracking). I also wanted to stick to one DAW (Ableton),because last year, switching among DAWs for different parts of the process was a huge pain. I set out to make a stripped down set of art songs using piano and voice. It didn't work. I followed the sounds and ended up in my usual dark experimental rock-electronica territory. My objective was to jumpstart my creative process, and while I only (haha) completed about 45 minutes of music out of my goal of 100m, the seeds of dozens more songs and musical ideas have been planted.

Ouroboros	Grave New World	Experimental, Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I guess you could say Grave New World is a concept album. The subject matter is mostly very contemporary and apropos of the current moment, as our world has become very Grave indeed. Even so, the album is also at times very personal, and is in part intended for my loved ones as well as myself. Succinctly, it's about: Hope, the casting off of illusions and inaction, finding a way out of harmful & repetitive modes of thought and being, and letting love and compassion become driving forces in our actions. More or less. x-D	United States of America	Washington	Federal Way	https://ouroborosjc.bandcamp.com/album/grave-new-world

Rachel Heckl	Something Against Fire	Experimental	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	This is a collection of song concepts made in my friends apartment in Sacramento and Stockton CA. The songs are brief stories or expressions with compositional layers that I would like to fully flesh out in a subsequent album. I attempt to capture feelings and or stories I’ve experienced. Some sonic experiments like “Kings Way” just aim to capture the room and the moment with a layer of melody that the sounds both provoked and became interwoven. In all, while rough, the pieces stand as a direct reflection on/vessel for what would otherwise be fleeting thoughts/memories. I made this EP at an important milestone and I dedicate it to friends in my life that make worth it to be here and whom I love very much. Special Thanks to Gloria Gisel Huera Rodriguez and Alberto Renee Rodriguez for making this album possible.

This was the first time I've done this challenge, and was the most songs I've ever written in such a short time. I limited myself to just acoustic and vocals, because I know myself and my tendency to want to over produce and play tons of instruments.

Sunil K Chopra	The Sparkling Void	Indie, Singer-Songwriter	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made an album with Ardour on Linux. I made it for my own sanity.

Superlavish / Solarcow	The Regular Crowd	Folk, Pop	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	We made an indie folk pop record! Owen (Superlavish) wrote the lyrics and recorded the demos. Andrew (Solarcow) added awesome instrumentation on the first two songs, and plans to add more past the deadline for an "official" release. We made it for folk pop fans who like dancing at at a live music bar.	United States of America	New Hampshire	Lee	https://owenammann.bandcamp.com/album/the-regular-crowd-demos
T.Z1	Polybius	Electronic, Ambient	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made a series of 12 electronic-instrumental songs using loops, sound fx, and beats from apps such as Groovepad, GarageBand, Music Maker Jams, and Band Lab. I'm new to mixing music so creating these was a creative blast. Thank you for listening!	United States of America	New Jersey	Craptown	https://soundcloud.com/tzonez/sets/rpm-22
Temptress	Enough	Rock, Metal	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	All we do is make tracks. This is 3 very different ones. One's got that reggaeton beat, ones a dance mix, and ones in your face but also laid back.	United States of America	New Hampshire	Manchester	https://temptress.bandcamp.com/album/rpm-2022

The Arlington Arguments	Lunch-breaks and Heartaches	Rock, Indie	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	Despite not being very proficient at guitar, and being a really not good singer, I managed to complete a ten song album! Day 1 I just picked up my guitar and the first progression I played just became the jumping off point. After that I just spent my lunch breaks each day noodling around and jotting down lyrics. Then I spent the last three days actually recording all the instruments by myself, doing vocals, and quickly mixing the ten songs. I definitely made this record for myself, just to force myself to be creative. I'm an old middle-aged guy who was so terrified at the thought of anyone hearing whatever awful song I wrote that it had been almost twenty years since I even attempted to write anything. I realize it may not be terribly good, but I'm so grateful that the RPM Challenge exists and gave me an excuse to be creative musically for the first time in what feels like a lifetime.

The HawefulTones	No Really. Pick it Up. This Place is a Mess.	Punk, Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	With a name like The HawefulTones, its about time I made a Ska record.

The Hermit	The Hermit	Electronic, Soundtrack	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	This album accidentally became a full on concept album after an image of an astronaut posing as the Hermit tarot card popped into my head.

United States of America	Ohio	Cleveland	https://soundcloud.com/andrew-lent/sets/the-hermit/s-GVToHaLwx2i

The Second Message	Moonlight In San Marcos	Jazz	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	Plan was a full album, but ended up with an ep. Trombone player is in FL, one bass player recorded here on 2/15, drummer recorded 2/18, second bassist recorded and e-mailed 2/25. Recorded for us, but may turn this into an actual band project (recording and perfoming). More songs would have been included, but the universe did not cooperate.	United States of America	New Hampshire	Exeter	https://thomkeith.bandcamp.com/album/the-second-message-moonlight-in-san-marcos
The SNR	I'll Meet You There.	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	We made noise together for the first time in a long time. Our age old model of individual and collective writing and scratchpad ideas.

The Vague Miracles	Little Things Add Up	Rock	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I wrote and recorded a double album (18 songs). I only had time to mix and master 9 but I'll release the second half later.

The Will of the Sun	For You	Indie, Singer-Songwriter	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I made an EP. I made it in my bedroom using nothing but an acoustic guitar and an iPad.

The Wisdom Kings	Tichborne's Elegie	Metal, Dark	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	Getting back to the riff for this one. The lyrics are adapted from a poem written by Chidiock Tichborne on the eve of his execution, condemned to be eviscerated, hanged, drawn and quartered for his role in the Babington Plot in 1586, to kill Queen Elizabeth. Less about history, and more exploring feelings of isolation, and being trapped in a role you cannot escape.	United States of America	Massachusetts	Boston	https://alonetone.com/lboe/playlists/tichborne's-elegie
the yay group	Good Times Are On The Way	Indie, Pop	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	We made a Beach Boys inspired chamber pop tune! Full with cello quartet and barbershop quartet, we had a blast creating vocal harmonies. So much buttery and honey-filled lines! We just wanted to make sounds we loved and hope you love them just as much.	United States of America	California	sunnyvale	https://theyaygroup.bandcamp.com/track/good-times-are-on-the-way

Tommy Carmine	Hop on the Bus - Single	Indie, Rock	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	a fun (maybe goofy?) track about taking a trip on a further-inspired ken kesey acid test bus.... you can get in, but your life will be forever changed. recorded 100% remotely with Jimbob Bruno on guitars and steel, Cory Snavely on Drums, Ron Guensche on bass, and vox/keys/written/mixed/mastered/arranged by me. first time here, thanks for listening	United States of America	California	Oakland	https://soundcloud.com/tommycarmine/hop-on-the-bus
Tone Matrix	Colors	Ambient, Soundtrack	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	I made a Piano record with electronic ambient elements. Performed all parts on my Roland RD700 GX keyboard. Made it for myself and family because I wanted to actually release an album and not just random tracks each week like I have been for the past decade.	United States of America	Florida	Miami	https://tonematrix.bandcamp.com/album/colors
TotoRobyn	industry8	Electronic, Synth	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	This was my first album ever - only been doing electronic music for a little over a year now.

Toys in the Static	Nacreous Allium	Electronic	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	We were inspired by the writings of Rick Remender, specifically Black Science. Traveling through alternate realities like the layers of an onion. Primarily hardware MIDI and analog CV devices. One band member worked from Los Angeles remotely using primarily Eurorack modules and sending wavs back and forth. We also made 3 videos this month for 3 tracks, with a 4th on the way.	United States of America	Ohio	Columbus	https://ccundefined.bandcamp.com/album/nacreous-allium
Twin Goat	A Culture of Risk Management	Experimental, Soundtrack	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	This was a back-to-basics Twin Goat record. We recorded basic tracks on an old Fostex D-90, and used a limited number of instruments. Most songs started with a double drum maching loop synced to a Pigtronix looper. No guest musicians this year, just the two of us. We tried and we made it.	United States of America	Rhode Island	Providence	https://soundcloud.com/booleanstudio/sets/a-culture-of-risk-management
Under the Attic	Standard	Indie	Single (1 track or 5 minutes)	I wrote this song in January for a couple that I had worked under for almost a decade who were leaving. I spent most of Febuary trying to make it a piano ballad, but it was fighting me. I ended up spending the past week rerecording it entirely to a guitar based track. Which was fun. Since I don't play guitar. XD	United States of America	North Carolina	Wilson	https://undertheattic.bandcamp.com/track/standard

Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys	Permanent Fire	Rock, Dark	LP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)	17 Years of RPM and Counting A note from Edrie: The first RPM challenge started what would become the artistic direction that we’ve now spent 17 years traveling. Walter and I met during the time of the 1st RPM challenge February has always been a time of renewal and change for us. Our daughter Wednesday, now 7, was born in February. We’ve premiered plays, moved houses, lost jobs, got new jobs, been on tour, witnessed weddings, shoveled feet of snow, mourned losses; and yet, we’ve released an album every February every year of the challenge. No matter what February has brought – we’ve made time to make music Two years ago, the world was just hearing the beginnings of what will likely define the lived-experience for all of humanity for a generation. Our way of being in the world, of creating, of supporting ourselves, of fellowship changed drastically. We still made music. No more getting together in the same physical space to create. We still made music. No more hugs or high-fives or smoke-circles or bodies packed together exuding energy. We still made music. We’ve lost and gained so much this year and… WE STILL MADE MUSIC! Walter has continued BUNKER BUDS, a daily dystopian talk show dedicated to bringing joy in to the often bleak loneliness of quarantine. They have touched thousands of folks with hundreds of episodes dedicated to helping people see the good and the light of artistic fellowship. Let Yourself Love Yourself. PERMANENT FIRE is our 17th RPM offering. It’s a marker in time, a symbol of what we lost and also what we’ve gained. It points to our North Star, the time when we will all be together again, somewhere between starshine and clay. PERMANENT FIRE is dedicated to the last 17 years of RPMs and to the people, places, and things that have made us who we are today. Thank you RPM! Thank you for the space to create and for the reminder that no matter what obstacles the world tossed in our way, we made music.

White Air	Impermanence	Pop, Rock	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	White Air is a "solo" project and I wrote and recorded these songs in February 2022. This is my 3rd RPM and I love the process and the challenge. Allows me to just go into my studio and be creative with no real direction or expectations. Thanks for the inspiration, RPM!	United States of America	Nebraska	Lincoln	https://whiteair.bandcamp.com/album/impermanence-2
Wild Branch	Hide & Go Seek	Singer-Songwriter, Ambient	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	I recorded this year's submission using only self-built slide guitars (two of which appear in the cover art). I almost named it "COVID Moods", but then decided I was sick of everything being defined by the pandemic, so thought the better of it. This one is kind of a mixed bag. There are a few singer-songwriter kind of things I wrote interspersed with instrumental "ambient" tracks. If there's a common thread, I would say it is something like my inner emotional journey over the last couple of years. There's some anger and foreboding, some sadness and perhaps just a touch of hope!	United States of America	Vermont	Colchester	https://soundcloud.com/forrest-gardner-941541978/sets/hide-go-seek

Wiosna97	Station The Null	Experimental, Noise	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	My EP is written in the experimental Noise and Dark Ambient genres. The tracks are not intended to be listened to by the average user, as the sound of the EP is unlikely to appeal to many people. The EP is able to evoke the feeling of desolation and understanding that no one is around and no one will help. Yes, it sounds gloomy, but that's the genre. And if that's the kind of thing you like, you can take the time to listen my work.	United States of America	Oklahoma	Oklahoma City	https://wiosna97.bandcamp.com/album/station-the-null

X5s	Oil Thick with Fear	Electronic, Dark	EP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)	The EP is a blade runner / dystopian future inspired narrative concept album where we follow a replicant as they attempt to reconcile false memories with the machine overlords. Mainly using Vanguard 3 acid synths, obscurium and Roland Juno patches its a mixture of dark atmosphere with warm synth work. I've always wanted to do more concept albums and RPM gave me the deadline and drive to do it.	United States of America	California	San Diego	https://x5smedia.bandcamp.com/album/oil-thick-with-fear
