About

Description: I'm a guitarist/composer living in Lansing Michigan. I plan on doing an album of RPM material every year until they cancel the RPM Challenge...............which I personally hope is never!
Group Members:

After completing RPM 2007 (which is unreleased as of this writing) and completing AND releasing RPM 2008 (Tales From The Lansing Underground: http://www.myspace.com/bzrpm2008) I am really looking forward to the 2009 RPM Challenge.

Where my previous 2 RPM CD's have been collaborative, this time out, and for the forseeable future, I will be using RPM as a solo album outlet for my music. My band, The Pat Zelenka Project, will be something I do separate from my RPM projects. Please hear our music at http://www.myspace.com/pzproject

2009 RPM PROJECT UPDATE AS OF 11/18/2008

Not sure of the exact direction the new CD will take, but, I will either be releasing an all acoustic project (something I've wanted to do for awhile) or a re-release of my solo CD "Sonic Experiments", which has never been distributed, and when originally released in 2006 was only out for a month before being buried by my label at that time. I want to re-record part of the CD anyway, this might be a great way for that CD to finally see the "light of day" so to speak.

Wish me luck!!

2009 RPM PROJECT UPDATE AS OF 12/02/2008

After a lot of thought, I have decided to make my RPM Project the goal of finishing my CD Sonic Experiments. I feel like since I would be re-recording over half of the CD, and contributing new material also, that I am still being an RPM participant in "good standing", lol. 

Wish me luck again!
