Bittersweet

Ok, I might be crying a little bit. But it is understandable… I went to a party store, and I saw all the colorful balloons with happy sayings on them like “Get Well” and “Feel Better” and “A Hug for You”… I just started thinking how the helium will all be gone one day. Just gone… we won’t get it back, and it took millions of years of radioactive decay to get the helium we have now… and… *sniff* we just don’t have millions more years to wait for more. They’re wasting helium in balloons… how can I possibly “Feel Better”!?

Mystery Bazaar

Well met, traveller! Come warm by my brazier… Is that a Djinn in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Hah! I have a joke with you! …unless it is a djinn – then you must leave immediately! …unless that would offend the djinn – then you must stay! …unless the djinn is going to kill me – then you must leave immediately! …unless it will save me from a fate worse than death – then you must stay! Oh good… it was an erection. Uncompressed download comes with a faster version.

Dewdrop Fantasy

The smell of a garden hose, that muted crack when you start up a glowstick, watching the sunrise with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice… all so calming… This piece of music is like that. Simple, bleeping, and slowly changing. Can you think of something else that is simple, bleeping, and changing? “an old PC speaker?” well, that’s simple and bleeping. “EDM?” that’s… bleeping and changing. “Hippie fashion?” that’s… Hippie fashion? I don’t know what that is. Well, it is long hair and paisley bell-bottoms and far too many beads… You just found the outside of the Venn Diagram.

Mega Hyper Ultrastorm

Player One Up! Ready! Go! Health 100%. Weasel Gun Equipped. This is sort of how I imagined 80s electronic music people tried to copy the distorted guitars of the day, but with 8bit sound sources. It doesn’t sound like guitars at all, but it does sound like people trying to sound like guitars… and that’s a thing now.

Special Spotlight

So you’re producing an interview segment! Problem is most people suck at being interviewed. Like… almost everyone. What do you do? You could send the non-media professional to an improv class, you could do 5 pre-interview coachings, or you could schedule a 3-day “pre-interview” at an all-inclusive beach resort in hopes that you will “share a moment” and uncover some goddamn humanity in your interview subject.
Or. You could just put some interesting music behind the segment. If your crap interview is longer than this piece Do NOT loop this music – fire your editor.

Too Cool

You know when you watch a vampire movie and then you walk out into the real world, but you’re still sort of in the fictional world because it looked like the real world… and that’s where you are now. I call this Persistence of Fiction, and it feels awesome! Capture some fiction by playing this track while walking to the bus… er the Vampire Bus! or waiting in line at the Vampire DMV or sorting Vampire Direct Mail Ads or doing some Vampire Macrame.

Ascending the Vale

We’ve all been there… wandering through an impenetrable forest, half dead with 2 arrows sticking out of your leg. And yet we continue – because it is probably good for the narrative. Then hope! Oh thank the old gods and the new!! An unmapped settlement of woodland inhabitants takes you in and brings you back from the brink of certain death. You don’t even care that it is a scurry of giant squirrels that came to the rescue, or that the healing soup they give you is largely acorn-based, and vomit-inducing.
Pastoral and beautiful. The download comes with a loop for if you never want the feeling to end.

River of Io

I would like to state, for the record, that this is the worst river cruise I’ve ever taken. The zombie crocodiles were bad enough, but the chase for the stolen artifact statue that was taken by the Ice Monkey Lord was really quite too much. And now I’m missing my left shoe. So why are we up sneaking around UFO landing sites? NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
You got some clandestine stuff going on? This track will probably work for any sneakiness anywhere.

Shenyang

When I do music based on folk traditions, I tend to name them after cities. Like this one: Shenyang. It is a little village of 8 million people that I’ve somehow never heard of. Oh sure, I’ve heard the name, but I don’t associate it with anything specific. Chicago: Hot Dogs. Amsterdam: Offensively tall Dutch. Moscow: “Stop a Douchebag”. Shenyang: No clue. How did I miss this city??
You already know if you need this piece, it has a more satisfying low-end than actual real Chinese music, and it should fit in with your modern productions well.
