My friends! It’s my birthday tomorrow so I had a little extra fun with this week’s tune. I took a few cues from modern hip-hop, went MASSIVE with the kick drum and created one of the most fun tracks on the site so far. It’s a big old hiphop beat, full of energy, full of…
Here Comes The Rain
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…
Dance On All The Cellphones
“Dance On All The Cellphones” is just that, a song that’ll make you move your feet. Ever been fed up with your cellphone and wanted to dance on it? Here’s your soundtrack (or, you know, use it for a fun creative project… your call really). This music kit includes the following: A main ‘theme song’…
Carnivale Big Beat
Big beats are fun to bob your head to. They’re also a whole lot of fun to produce. While it’s not what I spend a lot of time listening to normally, I’m a big fan of both the vibe & the production on these big trap beats. Here’s one of my attempts at producing a…
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…
