Written in 2009, a bit chaotic, driving and rhythmic

Ostfahrt

Written in 2009; simultaneously rising and falling, like the burning wings of Icarus, in the raging emotive style of the eponymous literary movement.

Sturm Und Drang

From 2012 RPM album "Nietzschean Fart Joke", this track reminded me of Contra, the classic NES platform shooter game and origin of the "Konami code" (IYKYK). I also got obsessed with contrapunctus and Bach, so that had to be worked in there.

Nietzschean Fart Joke

Contra Punked Us

Illa Quae Non Salvus Posset

I am temporal
I am a stone in space
A single tick of an eternal clock
Don't forget me when I'm gone
A memory inside a dream
These words: recorded on air
Written in dust
Nothing more than a hiss and pop
A smudge
A dormant synapse
I am a flick of life!
I am the lightning strike!
A flash of glory
Let my thunder resound forever

Resound

Influenced by David Bowie's song "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" from 1.Outside (you may hear an allusion to that in the lyrics). From my 2011 RPM Challenge album Supertomorrow.

Three of Swords

From semi-completed RPM album "Buy A Shotgun" (2014). Electronic fugue with a broad array of augmentations and asymmetric phrase lengths.

Asymmetry

I think this is the best track on my 2017 RPM album, Paper Tiger, which was rushed and done on old ass equipment because my laptop is basically dead and I had to use tools I wasn't used to working with. Which was good for composition and not so good for sound quality or drum programming (this track has no drums...probably why this is a more solid track).

This is also WAY different than my usual style...I wanted to change up genres a bit, and unlike many of my previous works, this one features an inverse proportion of natural instruments to synthesizers.
