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.

I've turned my focus to short recordings right now, either because my output has been so low over the summer, or because there is very little of it left. I still have a few longer recordings in progress, but don't want to rush them.



This is a short, simple and comical recording for branding purposes. I had projects for children in mind. It's actually about 5 seconds with two seconds for the audio tail, and features bassoon, clarinet, xylophone , tuba, and glockenspiel. A lot of instruments in 5 seconds, but it's still simple. Call it a 5 second lesson in tone quality.



This is another short recording for branding purposes. Six seconds of relaxing strings and piano with a cymbal swell for a little understated drama. It's relaxing and settling, like coming back home at the end of a trip. A period for the end of your sentence.

Struck out on both counts. They rejected both "Small Island" and "On Target", leaving me with a summer score of 9/16. Last summer I got in 26/40. Huge drop in the number of submissions, but I could point out that the bulk of this summer's songs were much longer. I'm still going to end the summer with half the submissions of the year before. They'll sell for a lot more money, but only time will tell if it's the right approach.

A 40 second audio clip meant to bring to mind walking on a beach in the Caribbean. Personally, I liked St. John. It was a lot less commercial and more unspoiled.

This is a short track for a corporate motivation video. Just over a minute long including the fade out. Ukulele, bells, bass, claps, and strings.

Short and sweet. Only one submission last week due to a trip to Pgh. "Simple Children's Theme" was rejected, and the scorecard now stands at 9/14.
