The RPM Challenge was to record an album of 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material in 28 days. I created a band called The Man Who Was Thursday after the 1907 novel of the same name by G.K. Chesterton. With Joseph K Murphy of the band Murkadee as my partner, I devised a plan to use various musicians to record the album through challenges we posed to them through email. Sandro Schiena and Giuseppe la mar of the Italian band Turnpike Glow and Jon Briggs of the metal band The Sars recorded tracks based on beats per minute, key, and thematic words we gave them. W. Ryan Baker (of Robot Monkey Arm) provided the sound of the ocean. Songs were broadcast on WUNH 91.3 FM and at a community-wide listening party in March. Mp3's can be streamed through the RPM jukebox found here. WMUR-TV did a nice piece about RPM on their show, NH Chronicle, combining original footage from the March celebration with material from the RPM Challenge video that was shown at The Music Hall, as well as using stills and music from RPM. That piece can be viewed here. The event was also covered by Pitchfork Media.

I guested on the Murkádee album "From A Spectral View." I play trombone. According to their website, Murkádee is "inspired by everything from the closing of the town's 70 year old country store to the guy you knew who played guitar in his basement, the music shines with true fears, dreams, and desires." It is "new music for the human heart." You can buy the album

I produced a spoken word album called Bluesman in 2001. I also play trombone on the album. The rest of the instruments were played by Pat Boutwell. The album was inspired by the poets of the Harlem Rennaissance and the development of The Blues and jazz prior to the release of "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis.
