The Music Production Club's Monthly Music Mission is a challenge to make a new song every month.
Each month we get materials, prompts, exercises, etc. to help jumpstart a new song.
Imagine finishing one song per month. That's 12 per year, a full album's worth!
A new album every year is a worthy goal for any artist!

Remember me
When I am gone away
Gone far away
Into the silent land

Remember me

Please 
Keep me in mind
Please keep me in mind

Please keep me in mind
 
Remember me 

When I am gone away
Gone far away
Into the silent land

Please keep me in mind

When I am gone away
Gone far away

Please keep me in mind
Please, please keep me in mind

Please, please, please  
Please keep me in mind

Please 
Keep me in mind

Oh, keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Please 
Keep me in mind

So, please, please, please 
Please keep me in mind

Oh, keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Reel

Please don’t let the truth in,
I’m too tired to hear it, 
It’s not that I don’t know it,
Sitting under a halo of lies. 

It’s not my profession, 
No I don’t even have one, 
Because I never grew up, 
My expertise is being alive. 

So many things are just a matter of opinion, 
And honesty could lead to feelings of rejection,
Let’s move the conversation in a good direction, 
Partial omission’s not the same as deception.

Don’t ask me how I feel, don’t ask me what I’m thinking,
Who even knows what’s real, who says it without winking?
I’m panting up the stairs, I’m sleeping six feet under, 
Sweat creeping through my hair, caught halfway through a blunder.

Where are the multiples of me?
How do they speak, how do they breathe?
Inside some galaxy of just a bit more courage,
Do they express themselves completely, do they flourish?

Please don’t let the truth in, 
I’m to scared to hear it, 
It’s not that I can’t see it, 
My vision is mostly fine. 

I guess I have conditions, 
The way I hold you to them,
It’s not fair, it’s misleading, 
I’m just worried you’ll leave me behind.

Please Don't Let the Truth In

Here's a track made with my Telephone Voice Free Ableton Live Pack: https://brianfunk.com/blog/telephone-voice

They Will Never Know How You Feel

MPC Monthly Music Mission May

Goals for this music mission:

1 - Use an infrequently used resource
2 - Use a spring reverb impulse
3 - Use guitar chord sample

I used the Arturia MiniFreak, a synth I rarely use and wanted to get to know better, for all the synth sounds. I used the spring as a send for my general mix reverb. Gave it a touch of swing to get a groove.

Everything Feels New Again

My electronics are consumer grade,
Designed to keep you up and entertained, 
Compact disc, A to Z, VHS, laserdisc, DVD,
Betamax, Radio Shack,
Wanna see the future?
Let me take you back…

Let’s keep it digital and be discreet,
Quantize and synchronize our clocks to meet, 
CD-ROM, floppy disk,
What’s your alias?
Mine’s ‘Nyquist’
Press play, record at the same time, 
Let it roll and then rewind. 

All this emotion, 
Electrons in motion,
Let it take you for a ride,
Let’s get closer to the speed of light,
And be my…

Game Boy,
Promise me that you’re not gonna Walkman, 
This could be the Genesis of something real,
Using all my cheat codes so my heart can feel,
So tell me…

Game Boy,
Promise me that you’re not gonna Pacman, 
Leave me at the checkout feeling obsolete,
Will you find me in your memory?

I’ll be your message to the great beyond,
That golden record spinning all night long,
Electroplated, calculated, and dated,
I play a universal song.

Game Boy!

Monthly Music Mission for July. Used only the Brian Funk Cassette Synth pack for all instrument sounds, and for the theme of "On the Go" I produced the track only using my performance laptop. Got a glitchy vibe early on so rolled with it.

Following his determinant EP “X2A”, Aevin returns to Raumklang Music with the full-length album “The Aftermath”. While further establishing his signature sound, Aevin lures the listener to the front line of his aural artillery. 

As the title suggests, “The Aftermath” acts like a personal beacon to the compositional endeavors of Aevin. The album concept manifests itself as a sonic vehicle for time exploration, enabling us to submerse ourselves in a melding of seething futurism and historical relic. Carefully chosen track titles guide our vividly imaginative journey through space and time, as they signify the specific period from which each song draws its inspiration and character. Return to the distant past with the cavernous echoes of music just conceived by a blacksmith in Crotona thousand of years ago or be transported to the remote future with the advanced, sci-fi frequencies of a hard-nosed world dominated by anthropomorphous machines, the Avatar D torrents. Addictively dancey yet thought-provokingly cerebral, richly textured yet meticulously precise, vibrantly visionary yet reverently traditional, “The Aftermath” adeptly weaves together a series of complementary opposites into a uniquely rich and deeply rewarding listening experience to delve into and return to.
