It was written for the Monthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos July 2023 “Mother Earth” episode. I haven’t decided yet if the song will be released as a single or as part of a future album, but I shared it below for you to take a listen.

The Story

An astronaut for a private company was talked into going to space for a short stint that’d make him rich. They never told him how many corners they cut. The song takes place as he and his crew realize there is no way to stop the ship from travelling further from home. As they lose more hope they joke about suicide and “One last walk”. Moral of the story: Much like suckers, there is an astronaut born every day.

About the song:

In September of 2022, BlowUp Radio announced their 15th Songwriter’s Challenge to write and record a song in 2 weeks inspired from an audio prompt. The prompt was audio released by NASA of a Black Hole. Check out these eerie sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioR5np1fmEc

]]> Mike Five Vs JPeck “Avoid and Evade” (Remix) http://jpeckmusic.com/2023/08/04/mike-five-vs-jpeck-avoid-and-evade-remix/ Fri, 04 Aug 2023 16:05:27 +0000 http://jpeckmusic.com/?p=98 This past July, Mike Five from Light and Lines records, asked people to remix his new single “Avoid and Evade”. I’ve never done a remix but thought it’d be fun challenge. I ended up going for a Beck “Odelay” influenced remix.

On Friday he released the single along with 10 remixes by indie artists including mine.

]]> New Single – Lift http://jpeckmusic.com/2023/06/11/new-single-lift/ Sun, 11 Jun 2023 00:57:42 +0000 http://jpeckmusic.com/?p=90 In September of 2022, BlowUp Radio announced their 15th Songwriter’s Challenge to write and record a song in 2 weeks inspired from an audio prompt.

“Lift” was my submission for the challenge. This might be the first instrumental track that I’ve written. It gave me a chance to experiment with samples, midi, and some effects that I am reluctant to use.

It’s taken me a couple months to get around to releasing the song, but today I decided to just release it and see what happens. The song is currently available on Bandcamp

Back in September of 2022, BlowUp Radio announced their 15th Songwriter’s Challenge to write and record a song in 2 weeks inspired from an audio prompt. The prompt was audio released by NASA of a Black Hole. Check out these eerie sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioR5np1fmEc

The video was made with old public domain footage from the 50’s and 60’s. Lazlo from BlowUp Radio said that the song made him think of a spacewalk. So he gets the credit for the video idea. I just through the clips together.

]]> Come What May” EP released http://jpeckmusic.com/2022/09/07/come-what-may-ep-released/ http://jpeckmusic.com/2022/09/07/come-what-may-ep-released/#respond Wed, 07 Sep 2022 09:42:00 +0000 http://jpeckmusic.com/?p=50 In May of 2022 Lights and Lines Records announced that they’d be hosting the “Album Writing Club” a songwriting challenge/contest. The idea was simple. Can you write and record an Album, or an EP, in a month?

“Come What May” was my entry for this challenge. Not only was this the first time that I’ve put together an album in 30 days but it is also my first solo album. I started eagerly on May 1st. Almost gave up on the 14th with only 1 song completed. Recorded vocals in my car in a Target parking lot at 1 am. Misplaced the takes for the final song. Turned in the album at 11:55 pm on May 31st with 5 minutes to spare. And ended up with a “One To Watch” award from the contest.
