I tried to channel what little inner-hippie I have with this one. In the midst of what is going on in the world outside right now, I wanted to sit down and record something that helped me  feel calm. This is what I came up with. This tune leans pretty heavily into it’s 1960s influences,…

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…

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…

I’ve got a real soft spot for fun, knowingly-cheesy horror – especially the music that accompanies it. Horror punk & psychobilly get played a lot around here. With that in mind, I sat down on this rainy Sunday and made a sad lament, something Dracula might listen to while he ponders the meaning of the…

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…

Yea I get the feelies sometimes, what! Spring is arriving, the sun feels so much warmer and I woke up this Sunday morning and recorded a poppy, uplifting track. That’s all I can say, enjoy this, feel good, spring is here!

I am reeeally stoked about this track. This one was one of those times you sit down, hit record and something kinda cool just comes out. I named it “Fake News” because the loop in the intro of the song reminded me of one of those old fashioned 5 O’Clock News stinger sounds that they…

I was inspired by the Golden Record that was shot into outer space on one of the Voyager missions when I sat down to record this track. I asked myself, “What if you had to write a song in an extra-terrestrial language?” The main melody that you hear is my own voice, altered to sound…

I watched one of the Halloween movies recently and just couldn’t get over how iconic that theme song by John Carpenter is. It’s incredible how simple, catchy and perfect it is for that movie. In the spirit of that, I wanted to pay homage to John Carpenter by recording this music kits that was inspired…

Continuing with my “lofi” series, here is a very relaxed composition with a solid backbeat running throughout. The song has a transition about halfway through which ushers in a really nice electric guitar melody and then fades into it’s outro. If you are looking for something lofi and chill for your project, this tune might…

Soooo, true crime is all the rage these days and I have to admit that I’m addicted to a lot of these podcasts too. After binge listening to a plethora of true crime shows, I sat down to try my hand at creating a theme song of my own inspired by the genre. I’m really…

Once in a while I like to plug in and make some good old rock tunes. This song came out of one of those jams and I just liked something about the vibe it built – with the wandering lead guitars and the big outbursts in the chorus. To me, it’s got a real futuristic…
