2026 RPM Challenge Day 5/28

Today is February 6th but I need to sum up my progress from February 5th. It should be easy except that I have already done some work on the 6th that I can’t rightfully include on the write up of the 5th. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I care?

Q: What difference does it make?
A: It doesn’t make any difference at all.

Given that stupid preamble, what did I do on day 5? Well I worked in the office, spent an eternity in traffic, spent hours and hours and hours in meetings, and went to bed early.

I also added the start of two new song ideas. Just MIDI bass and drums and just a few eight bar bass riffs. They should eventually evolve into songs number eight and nine. The RPM Challenge wants 10 songs or 35 minutes. FAWM wants 14 songs. As always, I want both.

I might have a few minutes worth of time to spend recording guitars in the morning tomorrow. Possibly through an obnoxiously loud amplifier. No promises, but things could work out that way. I have to start tracking actual musical instruments soon or all of this MIDI crap will be for not.

So that’s the deal for day five. I’ve done a little work already on day six. Day seven could be something big… maybe. Probably not, but maybe. We’ll see.
