Chris CookeUnshavenFolkEP (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 AmericaMarylandLaurelhttps://alonetone.com/chrooke/playlists/unshaven

Human Tree FatherEverything is Scary in the DarkPunk, RockSingle (1 track or 5 minutes)This is a horror rock/punk song kind of in the vein of The Misfits (maybe more on the rock side) I did everything myself: guitar, drums, bass, vocals, writing, recording, mixing, and mastering...and most of those I can barely do! I made the song for me, for fun, for the experience.United States of AmericaMarylandBaltimorehttps://humantreefather.bandcamp.com/track/everything-is-scary-in-the-dark-rpm-challenge-2022

Jerome M.Rescued/Riots for FreddieIndie, DarkSingle (1 track or 5 minutes)I recorded two songs. I played all the instruments using Garageband. I had sketch of the song, "Rescued" for a while, but thanks to this challenge, I finally got the motivation to record and finish it.United States of AmericaMarylandBaltimorehttps://soundcloud.com/jmmj-1/sets/rpm-february
