The kit includes the following: A main ‘theme song’ An alternative, shorter edit of the main theme that can be used for transitions. Two background loops of the isolated guitar part (good for talking over) The…

Hug Me, I’m Twee

This track is real energetic and real emotional. I had no idea when I recorded that there was a genre of music referred to as “twee”. After a good friend heard it she asked, “Whoa are you in a twee band now?” and I had no idea what that meant. Now I know that the…

Best Laid Plans

Here’s a fun jaunty acoustic tune. My favourite aspect of this track is the mandolin melody in the chorus (starts around 22 seconds in). This song sounds a bit like Tom Waits and a Traditional Slavic band had a baby. Things turn a little extra darker near the outro. I’d love to hear what sort…

Home Cookin’

Here’s the soundtrack to a big ol’ raucous family dinner. This track was originally recorded as the soundtrack to a podcast episode I produced about home cooking. I want to create something upbeat & full of life. That started with the harmonica part you’ll hear throughout and grew into the mandolin + piano melodies. About…

Tiny Maniacs

This track is a wild one. It was originally recorded as the soundtrack to a podcast episode about having kids. In that spirit, it’s upbeat one second, elusive the next and absolutely bonkers a few seconds later. The track modules between major and minor keys, changes instrumentation often and is a mix of intensity, fun…

Take Me Home

This was the first of the tracks I recorded for a podcast series I produced titled “The Homestead”. You’ll find a number of other songs from this series available on the site – they are all very folk/country sounding, full of banjos, mandolins & acoustic guitars. This initial track was actually used as the finale…

A Bubble Off Center

I have a weird personal relationship to this song. I original wrote and recorded it while on a little getaway to a small cabin with a friend who is no longer with us. There’s something melancholy and haunting about it, but knowing she was in the background, trying not to make too much noise while…

Family

This track starts slow – it’s intro lasts to a little over the 1:00 mark until the other instruments join in. That intro sets the tone however, for a thoughtful, nostalgic mellow tribute to family. I recorded this track as part of a podcast project I produced called “The Homestead”. This piece was for a…

Grit

I have a really soft spot for this track – I think it might be one of my all time favourites on the music supply. It was originally recorded for a podcast series I created called “The Homestead”. The episode it was used in was all about true grit – what it means to have…

Epic Millennial Whistle

What can I say? I hopped on the millennial feel-good folk train… Stomps, claps, whistling, big epic sounding soundscapes – this track has all of that. It’s a short clip that I recorded with the intention of it being an intro theme song – but if you have a use case where you need it…

Pride

This song was recorded as part of a “Seven Deadly Sins” podcast series I hosted back in 2015 or so. As part of the project, I set out to create a custom piece of music for each of the seven deadly sins. This one builds very slowly, and then keeps on building. About halfway through…
