The RPM Challenge 2009

The RPM Challenge for this year is open. It is a challenge for bands and artists where the goal is to record an album in 28 days. An album is defined here as either 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material and the material must be recorded during February.

The idea is to get musicians activated: No waiting for inspiration. Instead, taking action puts one in a position to get inspired. Artists will stumble across ideas they would have never come up with otherwise, and maybe only because they were trying to meet a day’s quota of (song)writing.

I took the challenge two years ago, but I failed badly by not writing anything. Bad me! Next year I skipped the challenge, but at the moment I am so full of inspiration and energy that there is no reason to not participate. If my muses have left me at the gates of February I have at least something kicking me further.

I have yet another project name for this challenge (I didn't want to use any existing one, because it would force me too much to any direction): Strangers At The Dinner. I don't know what kind of music I will make. Maybe post-rock, emo, electro, ambient, shit music or humppa punk.

BTW: Solar Satan EP is progressing. I recorded new stuff today! It's a little heavier stuff. I will put it online tomorrow!
