That's 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February. Go ahead… put it to tape.
RPM is not a contest; it's a creative challenge. What if every musician you knew put their music first for 28 days? What if every living being who could pick up an instrument spent February exploring their music? What if you recorded the best song of your life? What if you put aside the traditional expectations - that your record has to be a product that can be sold, that it has to be recorded in a studio with all the bells and whistles? What if you could do whatever you wanted? What if you recorded a solo record for the first time? What if you tried a new genre? What if you collaborated with someone you'd never met?
Write some instrumentals, split up the songwriting duties amongst band members, form an RPM side project, write songs on the piano or clarinet instead of your primary instrument, make that metal album you've always wanted to - buy a ukulele! Just do your best to make the best album you can. Be unafraid.
What's stopping us? Nothing. February is Record Production Month. You have no reason to say no, and nothing to lose.
