A short, rustic, folk song-like tune I wrote for commercial purposes. I had the appalachians in mind, but it works for any sort of relaxing mountain music your looking for. I suppose the tin whistle I threw in gives it little celtic flavor, but it also includes hammered dulcimer, mandolin, bass, folk percussion, violin, and mallets. I'm submitting it for sale on Audio Jungle. Oh, by the way, AJ just accepted my "Comic Chase" song for sale, bringing my online total up to 192. Really hoping to get to 200 by the end of the summer - it being such a nice round number and all. Reviewing takes a lot longer than it used to - they're either swamped or maybe vacationing.

Another submission, this time in the rock category. Apple recently did an update to Logic that includes some pretty awesome horn articulations, and I've been listening to some old Phil Collins and Tower of Power recordings lately. Here's what came out. I'm submitting both 30 and 60 second versions to audio jungle for commercial use.

The working title was "String Quartet in D minor," but it didn't actually end up as a string quartet. It isn't actually a symphony either - I could possibly argue that it's a short sonata allegro. In any case, the final name I came up with is "Serreptitious Symphony," because I figure there is maybe one other person in the world who might be looking for a short bit of sneaking around audio that would use that word to describe it. When they do - I'll own the search term. I Actually recorded about 3 versions of this: one without the major section, and one that's just a loop of the first 16 measures. I also did a version with strings only that I didn't record because my daughter said she liked the variety of the woodwinds better. She has younger ears than I do, so I went with the version she liked.

A 60 second theme using arpeggiated synth and bass with drum machine percussion for use as a podcast or broadcast intro, theme, or talker audio. I had technology in mind.

Another short entry for in the branding category for use with podcasts or broadcasts. A little 12 second acoustic guitar theme with soft synth background and light, folk percussion.

Here a a few short "Idents" for branding purposes. Quick, short little things to lead in podcasts or broadcasts. "Twinkle Ident" for use in children's broadcasts, and "Pizzi Ident" for - pretty much anything else.

Finally up and running for the summer after a few weeks off for vacation and some home improvement projects. The first song of the summer that came out is a little tune I am uncreatively naming "Comic Chase". It will be my first official submission of the summer - so here's hoping they think it's worth listing.

Here's a quick bit of audio I just submitted for branding purposes for projects related to children. Nothing fancy, but cute & happy. It's already been accepted, and is up for sale on AJ.

I haven't posted to the blog or submitted a song to Audio Jungle since my yearlong recovery from gallbladder surgery. It's time I got back into the swing of things.

I sat down at the synth for a few minutes, and this came out. I'm going with the name "Pentatonic Future" because it's a sort of sci-fi-like take on a short & simple pentatonic melody. I haven't submitted anything for over a year, so we'll see how things go. Gotta start somewhere.

Update: Submission accepted. It's up for sale on Audio Jungle.

This is a short clip for branding purposes that features an acoustic guitar, light synth pad, piano, and pizzicato strings. Smooth, mellow, and relaxing.
