Description:

Heavy melodic guitar rock.(Wishful thinking)

Unfocused collection of anything I can manage to cobble together.

RPM08

Stoked about doing this again this year. Last year's material was fun but qualified as the bare minimum. Lots of ideas and plans so far.

Treating this as an experiment to see what can be produced within a Live CD Linux environment such as Musix or APODIO. Also can't hurt if it gets me to record an entire album for the first time in my life.
