			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s almost February, and that means that it is time for all musicians to consider the <a href="http://rpmchallenge.com/">RPM Challenge</a>.  The goal is to take the month of February to record an album of 10 songs or 35 minutes of previously unreleased music.  (See the full <a href="http://www.rpmchallenge.com/content/view/844/290/">details of the challenge here</a>.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I took the challenge last year and somehow wrote and recorded <a href="http://hunz.bandcamp.com/album/thoughts-that-move">Thoughts That Move</a> in one month.  (With the mixing help of <a href="http://m.thequietrevolution.net/mmd/2009/02/18/hunz-rpm-challenge-mixing/">mr mark dollin</a>)  If you missed it, I blogged the whole process, which you can read starting at the bottom of the page <a href="http://hunz.com.au/2009/02/page/4/">here</a> and working back through feb.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been asked by many people (including my wife and even myself) whether I&#8217;d be doing it again this year.  As tempting as it is, I&#8217;ve decided to keep my focus on the animations that I&#8217;ve been working on and keep that ball rolling.  I am challenging myself to make some progress on my clip during February.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>the challenge</strong><br />
But I&#8217;m putting out the challenge for all other musicians to sign-up at <a href="http://www.rpmchallenge.com/component/option,com_comprofiler/task,registers/">rpmchallenge.com</a>, and then leave a comment here. I&#8217;d love to see how other people go with it and hear your progress.  It might feel like it&#8217;s last minute, but I signed up on the 28th of January last year.  Just commit to it and see how far you get. If nothing else, you might crank out a couple interesting new tunes or make you rethink how you write to get it done.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Starting sunday at midnight.. you can doo eet!</p>

<blockquote><p>This is The Challenge &#8211; Record an album in 28 days, just because you can.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>That’s 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February. Go ahead… put it to tape.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Don&#8217;t wait for inspiration &#8211; taking action puts you in a position to get inspired. You&#8217;ll stumble across ideas you would have never come up with otherwise, and maybe only because you were trying to meet a day’s quota of (song)writing. Show up and get something done, and invest in yourself and each other.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Anyone can come up with an excuse to say “no,” so don’t!</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.rpmchallenge.com/">http://www.rpmchallenge.com/</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I decided that I would do this challenge.  I&#8217;m not going to use any material that I&#8217;ve made for the next album.  I&#8217;m going to do something completely new in the month of Feb and only use Renoise.  I thought I would blog and podcast what I do, and if I make it, we&#8217;ll all have some free hunz music released.<br />&nbsp;<br />
Please stay tuned and watch me either &#8220;win&#8221; or &#8220;fail&#8221;<br />&nbsp;<br />
