RPM Challenge - Complete!

Just over a month ago I signed up for the RPM Challenge.  The challenge is to write and record a complete album during the month of February.  Today being the last day of February, I am finally finished!

I should note that I really did have a lot going on, and didn't start until yesterday.  I should also note that the last time I played my saxophone for more than a minute or two was almost a year ago.  My tenor doesn't seem right, and my alto literally started falling apart when I recorded the first track!

My plan was to record 35 minutes (at a minimum) of improv saxophone jazz, rock, or blues, etc.  Turns out, my chops are crap.  I couldn't play that long without having to stop.  My lower lip is all cut up. ;-)

I think the longest song I could muster was just over five minutes.  All still, I worked up 9 pieces.  Some of which are not too bad in parts.

The recording quality is sub par to say the least.  I bought a cheap mic, and connected it to the computer, then used Audacity to record the songs.

So here you are, dear internet reader.  My songs are for you.
