RPM Challenge 2016: Impossible Universe Continues

It's that time of year again; February. And February, besides being Valentines month, is the RPM Challenge month.

You've probably noticed a plethora of posts about last year's challenge, which I meant to publish throughout the year last year. Well I will admit that after the effort of getting those 5 tracks done in 28 days, I was just lazy and didn't get them finished and published until now.

And, I wanted to post them so you could see the motivations and inspiration for those first 5 tracks. Because, I've decided to do two things: 1) participate in the RPM Challenge for this year, and 2) continue with the theme of Impossible Universe.

There are an infinite number of amazing things in our universe, and I've found inspiration in five more of them:
  • Track 6: The Eridanus Void
  • Track 7: The Fountains of Enceladus
  • Track 8: Barnard's Loop
  • Track 9: Supermassive Black Hole
  • Track 10: V838
I've been doing some initial prep work and research for a couple of months now, and I think I'm ready to buckle down during the 29 days of February and get 5 more tracks done. 

Here are the images I've been using as inspiration for these tracks.

Stay tuned -- I'm going to post throughout the month with updates and so forth. And, I'll have a surprise announcement at the end of all this!
