Starts small, gets big… then smaller, then REALLY big… then small again. Kind of like a turtle. Actually, it is entirely possible that I just kept seeing different turtles. I mean, they all sort of look like turtles; I wasn’t tagging them or marking them with chalk or anything. Chalk will probably just wash off in the pond anyway. Oh! Kind of like a puffer fish! Like a musical puffer fish! Perfect. You can download this in uncompressed format here. Download comes with individual tracks so you can make your own mixes.

Well, this is interesting… Smooth sine bass contrasted with a lovely excited drum machine and then… the magic! Genre bending magic! You’re a cool kid right? This is for you. You’re welcome.

Five! Five full minutes of battle fighting action bits with a bit of an Egyptian flair! For some reason I associate English horn with desert nomads. There must have been some cultural reference in my youth to that effect. Super crazy awesome brass is super crazy awesome… wait for it… you’ll be glad you did!

Very moody little piece with some melodic interest. Tension could be high grade or low grade depending on your context. Waiting for a drug deal to go through in Belize? This’ll work. Concerned about the health of your hyacinth macaw while waiting at the vet office? This’ll work. Waiting for the OSHA all-clear at your box factory? This’ll work. It is mainly about waiting for things. Probably not good things. You can download this in uncompressed format here. Download comes with individual tracks so you can make your own mixes.

Okay, the tuning on the bass is a bit off here and there, but the heart is in the right place. Throw a filter on this and use it an your waiting area jam. Or on-hold music. Or pre-show music for your militia function. I’m sure the calming aspects would be very welcome in all the situations! Oh, you can also use this in your dance routines. Because bossa novas rock! … or they Bossa… not sure. You can download this in uncompressed format here. Download comes with individual tracks so you can make your own mixes.
