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…
Swan Song
This is an older track I made back when I was podcasting more frequently. I found it while going through some old hard drives and liked something about the subtle string melody that repeats for two bars and then reverses itself. This track is a very subtle one, so I wouldn’t recommend putting it front…
Moog Moves
This one is for my Patreon members! A little while ago I did a poll on my Patreon page asking what sort of music my patrons wanted most for my next upload. Somewhat to my surprise, they picked “dancey synthesizers”! So, here is my effort! Inspired by good old classic analog synthesizers, here’s a dancey…
Lemon Drop
Sometimes to get myself to start recording when I’m having a little writers’ block, I cut loose and try something I would never normally do… That’s how this track started. I played the ridiculous four-on-the-floor beat that the song starts with and then I couldn’t stop myself. Layer after layer of weird synths and risers…
Morning Ms. DeeDee
This is a fun intro I created as a dedication to my neighbour. Her real name is not Ms. Deedee, but that’s what I call her every morning when I say good morning to her in my head. This one is upbeat, a little quirky and has a big beat drop right around the 0:20…
Making Mixtapes
If you’ve been around the music supply for a while, you’ll know that I have a soft spot for old tape warble (like when a VHS tape has been played too many times and the audio starts to drift in and out of tune). This track was born out of that. There’s a really great…
Slomo
Here’s a laid back indie tune I made for you. It was all built around that initial detuned string loop that opens the song – the rest just fell into place. This track was actually recorded in 2018, but I dug it back out recently and liked something about the laid back feel of the…
Euro Club
I’m going to be honest here, this one is just ridiculous. I’ve never been into the club/rave/dance party scene, I know next to nothing about the culture. However, sometimes it helps with writers block to try out a genre you are completely unfamiliar with. I usually just keep these little exercises to myself, but I…
One Tiny Speck
This download includes 2 separate WAV files – the one you hear a preview of here, and an additional version with the percussion removed. Sometimes I sit down and just try to make a nice soundscape to listen to on loop – while I work or read or sleep. This track came out of one…
Curio Cabinet
I’m really happy to add this one to the library. I’ve recorded this song a few years ago but wasn’t able to upload it here for a number of reasons. But now, it’s all yours! The mix of sort of goofy fun and ominous weirdness is the charm of this one for me – I…
Digital Daydreams
Here’s a track that I recorded in January of 2020. It was born out the synth that you first hear, I was playing with matching that sound of older retro digital synths I’d been hearing in indie videogames. Once I stumbled onto the guitar melody that comes into support, I knew there was a bit…
Commuters
This track is something I’ve been sitting on for a while. I wasn’t going to upload it to Sounds Like An Earful as I thought it might be too weird for other people’s projects (and I liked it so much that I wanted to record a whole album like this). In the end, a filmmaker…
