It's been another year passed and here is my offering from 2013's RPM Challenge!  This year I decided to take myself out of my comfort zone and try an all strings effort with absolutely no Keys or Synth's.  10 pieces mixed together with field recordings generously grabbed from Freesound.org.  As always, enjoy! 

String Theory - Mind2GrooveRatio

Another track from the Vault.  An instrumental primarily guitar and bass. Hope it soothes the soul a little!

Wonder

Another year leads us to the RPM Challenge (RPMChallenge.com), known in my world as the February Music Project.  This year I was stoked that another Andy (I'm Andy also), accepted my invitation to collaborate on this project.  What a talented musician and engineer I get to work with! Also, high praise and credit needs to go to the Field Recordings who have been graciously provided by Lasse Gerrits' who lives in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Many thanks for those amazing field recordings!  Enjoy all, and dream of Travel that is soon to come back to our lives.  Peace!
