So for the month of February I pretty much set aside all aliensporebomb musical projects and was working on a time limited group project for the RPM Challenge which is a bunch of bands all working during the month of February to produce a full length 35 minute album just because they can. Some friends I've known for years and used to work with a couple of them invited me to be a part of the project so here it is: undercrypt.bandcamp.com/album/revealedInitially it was going to be a lot more ambitious but the folks involved had more ideas than time and so we cut it down cruelly to about 35 minutes and ... well, you'll just have to hear it. We basically cover the gamut from heavy metal to dance to techno to country western to space blues to funk. |

Goob  Sounds like a nice group project, good and diverse. All of your voices are given room, with a few prominent ASBisms. |

There is an entire backstory to the thing (I haven't seen it all and don't pretend to really understand it) but there was much that didn't get recorded. We're supposedly supposed to break up over creative differences this month but the response has been better than anyone expected so who know what will happen next.

The breakup WAS in the script. In fact, that was the ONLY thing that was certain about the whole project is that he wanted to have a built in time limit - probably to be funny. Be funnier yet if people liked it and wanted it to continue.
The funniest thing about it is I've known Keith for probably 20+ years but he and his about-to-be-wife were co-workers of mine two jobs ago.
At that day gig we basically said NOTHING at all about having worked on music or anything artistic. It was a pretty straitlaced white collar gig so lots of outside pursuits were kind of quietly went about.
Keith does a lot of unusual eclectic music projects, a podcast called Audio Wanderer, a band called Undercrypt (gothic synth stuff), another solo project about spy numbers stations, this thing and he also is part of a trio called The Pirates of Dreamtime with guitarist Scott Keever and singer Dayna Jean Wolter [Dayna is the one who books me for those sci-fi conventions so I've known her for a while now and is the one behind the women's choir known as The Idisi).
Keith's wife Lee is a writer/voice actress/singer. She was the one doing the computer voices and wrote the narrative to the story among other things and was supposed to play cello but I don't know if that ever happened.
Of the other participants Tanya is a celtic music artist locally - primarily singer and guitarist (I met her two falls ago when we traded CDs at a gig we were both at but then bumped into her again at the initial meeting for this band). She's actually a friend of a friend too so it's not like I was unaware of her.
Then Kiera I know less about her - I know she sings and plays guitar and writes songs and has been involved in theater productions and whatnot.
Weirdly, the two percussionists we had slated for this thing never really got to be involved. And there were others too.
