April 6th, 2010 — How Does It Know? EP, Sunil Sawani

Hey everyone! Finally the day has arrived… No, not the day when the record is actually physically available, but the next best thing — you can now preorder How Does It Know? from Lower Peninsula Records (scroll the bottom and look for the tiny robot!), and receive it in the mail when it comes out! We here at Part Time Songs, as well as those at Lower Peninsula Records would very much like it if you did that, in fact.
To help entice you, here’s a song from that very album…Download and listen at once!

This was my ill-fated attempt at completing the RPM Challenge. A few people told me they liked Southern Pain.

February 10th, 2010 — News, RPM Challenge
I had signed up to do the RPM Challenge, which is essentially the NaNoWriMo of songwriting, during the month of February. However, due to my February starting off with some very weird, busy times, I ended up starting really late. The goal is to do 10 songs or 35 minutes in 28 days, and I just started yesterday.
Anyway, I’m not gonna hold myself to finishing, but I’m going to try, because working on music always makes me feel better, and I’ve needed some “feel better” activities this month. So I’m just going to post all my finished songs up here, in addition to at the RPM Challenge site.
The next post will be the first song I finished today, “In the Cellar”… I’m trying to do these fast, so I’ve done minimal mixing/editing, so it’s rough draft/demo quality, which is sort of fun sometimes. However many I finish by the end of the month, I’ll package them up as an EP ZIP file and put it up on the Music page.

…I really like how this sounds right now! Check it out. It’s just kind of this downtrodden beat with organ and guitar chords, but it’s kinda nice.

December 1st, 2009 — SubSprawl Holiday Comp, Sunil Sawani, [SONG]

Here’s the song I did for the SubSprawl Holiday Comp. I already talked about the song here, so just enjoy! (Special thanks to Dan, Billy and my wife for their contributions of drums, bass and sleigh bell, respectively.)
