I found an old hard drive that had master recordings of some music I created for my own podcast back in 2014/2015. I was doing a series that had this sort of analog machines sound. It featured lots of samples of tape decks and old machines used as percussion. The series was about change and…

This track came very naturally to me. Oftentimes these days, my music making time is relegated to the early morning or late at night and these small, understated synth compositions are some of the most instinctive things I make lately. This one came out of the idea of watching a tiny world of miniatures go…

This is an ambient track I originally created for a short film about a girl in a row boat searching the ocean for her friends. Now, I’m sharing it with you to use in your projects. The instrumentation s largely focussed on the horn section, giving this an epic feel. If you need to establish…

I guess it’s Halloween being on it’s way, but everything I’ve been recording has had a sort of creepy vibe to it lately. This free track is short but I dare you not to bob you head once the beat drops. Just having some fun with this one, I hope it can find a place…

Here’s another ‘fantasy’ flavoured tune for you. A good friend of mine in Scotland worked on a fantasy fiction podcast with me years ago called “Gorbauuch”. This was a track I recorded for an episode about (maybe slightly evil) faeries that trapped an adventurer. The episode never aired, but I always loved the mix of…

I went full on fantasy nerd with this one. I love fantasy books, I love fantasy movies, I really like making fantasy music. This tracks was inspired by faerys, it’s full of harps, strings and even some female vocals off in the distance. While the key stays major for the majority of the composition (it…

This track was recorded as part of our “Sleep Music Against Abuse” fundraiser in 2017. That project was able to raise over $700 in donations to a local women’s shelter. Thank you to everyone who took part! Now that Sounds Like An Earful is supported by Patreon, I’m really excited to be able to release…

This week I got this little diddy inspired by kids and their messy, toy-covered rooms. If you’ve got anything that needs fun, child-like theme song – give this track a go.

I recently held a survey of folks who use the music supply and one of the resounding results was that people needed more ‘backgrounds’. So I’ll be posting a few more of these ambient sound beds that you can loop underneath your projects to establish a mood. This one was a bright, calm vibe. Two…

I love this tune. I have been keeping it in my back pocket for at least a year now, opening it up to tinker with it every week or two. Something about the character of that dirty guitar and that haunting piano melody in the chorus – it’s like Tom Waits on Halloween. Pleeeease let…

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. Sloth was easy for me to compose for. I very often (almost exclusively)…
