Lewisnaked dinnerPop, Singer-SongwriterLP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)i made a love letter for artists, for movers and shakers | the ones daring to dream and disassemble | this is balm for the heart and fire for the struggle | this is a loving reach out | merging of soul, avant-pop, and rock opera | piano, driving beat, space for questions, harmony, | i made this album by myself, but with the unwavering support of my beloveds- i was so scared because for so long i have feared technology. this challenge really forced me to "get in the weeds" and figure it out! I made this with my p125 yamaha, garageband, rode mic, and voice (also in my “studio” apartment, with my cat eli) | i did open heart surgery on my keyboard at one point - and my closet became my iso booth | I am grateful to all who have coordinated rpm challenge – knowing that I was part of a movement of artists creating during the same month was so special and has uplifted me greatly| coming from my whole heartUnited States of AmericaOhioClevelandhttps://soundcloud.com/user-64547781/sets/naked-dinner
No PotentialLayersPunkLP (10 tracks or 35 minutes)I wrote demos for songs that I'd like to fully produce and release for an album in the future. I did the RPM challenge to force myself to write and stick with scratch tracks and work with them, instead of being a perfectionist and waiting for the perfect idea (then never getting anything accomplished).United States of AmericaOhioCincinnatihttps://nopotential.bandcamp.com/album/layers-rpm2022
The HermitThe HermitElectronic, SoundtrackLP (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. This album could be looked at metaphorically as the loneliness we've all been through these past few years.United States of AmericaOhioClevelandhttps://soundcloud.com/andrew-lent/sets/the-hermit/s-GVToHaLwx2i
Toys in the StaticNacreous AlliumElectronicLP (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 AmericaOhioColumbushttps://ccundefined.bandcamp.com/album/nacreous-allium
