Adam Rabin | Things Fall
This is the result of the 2020 RPM Challenge. It was entirely written and recorded in the month of February with the help of 20 of my talented friends. Read more

Mailbox | Chameleon In A Kaleidoscope
This was the first "real" Mailbox album. Originally recorded in 1995, it was time to revisit and painstakingly remix the debut album. The result doesn't just sound a lot better but it has more energy and life and I was able to present an additional albums-worth of bonus material. Read more

Irrelevant
- Opened up the multitrack for “Apples for Eyes” so I could re-learn it. Was thinking about re-recording it.
- Ended up remixing it and am fine with that. I did it right 14 years ago, so we’re good.
DonnCherie
- Recorded acoustic guitar for “The Next Thing”

DonnCherie
- Zoom session for one of her tunes.
- I rewrote the ending and she dug it. She just needs to sit with it a bit and make it her own.

HH Musical
- Had another productive video chat with Greg to iron out some issues with the final two scenes. Once again, the simplest answers are the best answers.
- The next-to-last scene should be done this week. This is all, of course, just the first draft.
Studio
- My computer is dying. All kinds of weird Windows error every time I try to start it up.
- New computer is on its way here. This will push a few recording projects back a week or two. Two, really. No bigz.
DonnCherie McKenzie
- The recording project with DonnCherie stalled out a month or two ago due to life obligations and each of us being stumped about what to do next.
- DonnCherie set up a video conference with us and Myra Flynn-Wills. Myra helped us focus our thoughts and approach. Great to have an outside opinion and somebody who can translate Adam-to-DonnCherie and back.
- Basic track session scheduled for two weeks from now.

Mailbox
- Get Lost remixing is done. Just some mastering tweaking to do (fade outs/levels/etc)
DonnCherie
- Didn’t actually record my guitar parts yesterday. Going to do so tonight. Promise.

Mailbox
- Get Lost remix project is 9/10 done (I think)
- Couldn’t find one of the synth patches that I really liked so I’m having to substitute it with a near (but not quite) match. If I end up happy with it then I just have one more song to mix.
- In the process of looking for that synth setting, I finally came across the high-resolution versions of the “What’s In The Box?” images that Kyle made 20 years ago (!). I’d figured they were lost ages ago.
- side note: I remixed most of What’s In The Box? and My Little Friend not too long ago with the intention of re-releasing them. Never did follow through on that.
DonnCherie
- More practicing. Just about ready to lay down rough guitar tracks.
Sci-Fi Movie
- Reading first part of first draft of movie project I’ve been asked to score. Fun!!! Can’t wait for this one to … take off. (Can’t share any details yet.)

DonnCherie
- DonnCherie came by for a socially-distanced jam session. Pre-production / rewrites for her album.
- Recording won’t begin until … you know. But there’s no saying we can’t start prepping and I can’t make some basic tracks.
- Note to self. Talk with wife about camera angles vis-à-vis the back of my head.
