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…

After The Surf

I’m really proud of this tune. It is one of those tracks where every part I added just seemed to fit perfectly in the mix. In case you haven’t already noticed, I’m a sucker for trying to capture specific moments of feeling in the music I make, and this one takes me right to a…

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…

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 Last Thing

I ain’t gonna lie… this track was originally recorded as a break up song. I’ve replaced the vocals with a gentle harp, but I think it’s still a break up song 🙂 Wait for the end when to hear my heart-wrenching theremin solo! If you need something mellow, and let’s face it, really bloody sad…

Hustle

I originally recorded this track as the ‘intermission’ music for a project I was working on. It’s short, but it has a good vibe to it – forward moving while cool, calm & collected. Primarily driven by drum & bass, it’d make a great interstitial for a podcast, or something good to read your credits…

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…

When It Rains Warm Water

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…
