Eclectic with continuity. Influenced by everything and nothing. Sometimes aggressive sometimes passive. Metal/Progressive/Experimental? You give it a listen and tell me what Genre 'To Love Sophia' is? The '08' collection was done in 15 days. Last years RPM Challenge influenced 12 tracks created between February 11th and the 19th called 'Penchant'. They are in the RPM Jukebox for '07'. If anything besides the fun I had putting that project together was persuing it with a more open attitude and to not be hyper critical and just let er rip. I think some neat things came out of this project. The RPM Challenge is educational and fun and I'm back again this year. Look, there's a squirrel!!!
Check out www.myspace.com/tolovesophia for some stuff written this year and last. 'If Bees Could Swim' is a fun song.
Buzz. He is the only member. Actually, he is a member. Get it? It is a masturbatory activity writing and recording. He plays all the instruments. He thinks he's cool because of it but he really is a pud.

RPM demos, works-in-progress, or tracks-finished-early... a musical sketchbook. This is just a sampler -- complete and finished albums will be uploaded into the real jukebox in March!
Eclectic with continuity, Aggressive, Progressive, Eclectic!!! Some times a hint of jazz and blues and spoken word and chaos and humor? I still don't know how to answer that question.

Thanks to my Cousin Dave, a stellar drummer, for introducing me to the challenge. Also, Dennis K. gets major credit for the Heart Choking on a Cigarette drawing. He drew it, I colored it. The RPM Challenge was fun!!!! Thanks!
Group Members & Instruments Played:
'To Love Sophia' is a solo artist. All instruments, drums, basses,guitars, keys, vocals, (with the exception of the crows on 'Crow', I put a mic in the window and recorded the crows)performances, recording,mixing, blah blah blah is done solo. 'To Love Sophia' takes the focus off the musician and allows the music to speak for itself.
