This track is dedicated to my good friend Mira. Here’s a quick little number I recorded on my banjo for a dear friend. We used to go to chain restaurants and vent all of our troubles to each other and it was the best/cheapest therapy :). This little folksy jig has that hint of getting…
When It All Falls Apart
I’ve been working hard to create more ‘underscores’ on the music supply – tracks that are well suited to being put in the background of your project. This music kit is a great fit if you are working on anything apocalyptic or emotionally heavy. I plugged in a big, reverb-y electric guitar and just let…
With Your Sunglasses On
I got really excited about summer this morning and remastered this track. It’s got that vibe of a good day spent with good friends, jumping in a lake with your sunglasses still on (because you’re just having too good a time to even give a care). I think this tune could work great as a…
Nostalgic At The Laundromat
This track is something I recorded a little while back, early one morning. I was reminiscing about killing time in laundromats and feeling a bit nostalgic for the life I had in the city (before I moved out to the sticks where I live now). This song was originally inspired by another Canadian artist named…
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…
The Community Jug Band
This is a fun one. This was another track I recorded as part of a podcast series I produced called “The Homestead”. The episode this track was created for was all about community – how you find your community, how odd community glue themselves together, etc. The entire song began with me recreating that grade…
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…
Calm Morning
I make a lot of my music early in the morning. It’s when I get some downtime to myself to explore and be creative. After a cup of coffee, it’s when my brain works best as well. This track was recorded on a very mellow fall morning as the sun rose outside my studio window….
Whistle While You Pod
Here’s an older song I recorded when I first started chatting with a lot of podcasters. It’s just an upbeat little whistle. Sprinkle on some banjo, a back beat and you’ve got a fun intro for your podcast. I hope this freebie can be of use to you!
