The RPM Challenge 2007!
1st February 2007 - Skidoo! signs up for the Record Production Month Challenge. Write and record an album in the month of February! The album has a Time theme, and shall be called Of The Essence.
Update: It's 1st March, and the tracks are now complete! You can download 'em right now! Follow the links below for some tasty audio treats!
Of The Essence
- 1. It's About Time
- This one took approx 2.5 evenings to write and record. I guess it's what you might call ambient metal, and I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out :)
- 2. Movement *
- The inner workings of the Cosmic Chronometer.
- 3. Time And Tide
- Second track written, third track on the album. A soothing mellow tune for your listening pleasure...
- 4. Dilation
- The uncanny world of the really fast yet oddly slow.
- 5. Time Lord **
- This one starts out all pretty, then goes off in a completely unexpected direction. How did *that* happen? Hope you enjoy this track half as much as I enjoyed recording it! :)
Cover Art
I've had requests for cover art so folks can have a pretty picture for their iTunes window or whatever. Here are links to the pictures on the left:
Sample Attribution
I used the excellent resources at Freesound to download a couple of necessary samples for the project. Only two, mind. Full credit is due to the authors. Here they are:
