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 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 is a track I’ve had around for a while. I had been listening to Damon Albarn a lot when I first wrote this and loved something about the idea of a slowly de-tuned staccato synth as the main melody in a song. You’ll hear what I mean during the intro of this piece –…

I got really excited about summer this morning and remastered this track. It’s got that vibe of a good day spent with good friends, jumping in a lake with your sunglasses still on (because you’re just having too good a time to even give a care). I think this tune could work great as a…

Here’s the soundtrack to a big ol’ raucous family dinner. This track was originally recorded as the soundtrack to a podcast episode I produced about home cooking. I want to create something upbeat & full of life. That started with the harmonica part you’ll hear throughout and grew into the mandolin + piano melodies. About…

This track starts slow – it’s intro lasts to a little over the 1:00 mark until the other instruments join in. That intro sets the tone however, for a thoughtful, nostalgic mellow tribute to family. I recorded this track as part of a podcast project I produced called “The Homestead”. This piece was for a…

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…

This one is from my ‘archives’ (I have waaaay too many old hard drives filled with musical ideas). If I remember correctly, it was one of the first things I recorded after buying a banjo. I was still adapting what I knew from playing guitar to the banjo, so I played over this straight hip-hop…

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. Don’t ask me why, but this has always been one of the more…

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. For Gluttony, I went with big, beefy sounding organs and saxophone trudging slowly…
