This week on How I Make Music, we deconstruct a soundtrack called African Moon. It’s a fast, dark and vibrant piece heavily influenced by the production style of British band Bonobo. It includes an electronic beat, marimba, djembe drums and shaker. It gets used in a lot of videos by European and American aid organizations based in Africa. My suggested usage is for dance, tribal, travel and nightlife moments.

Hey, I'm John Bartmann. Each week, I write, record and release an original soundtrack on my own site https://johnbartmann.com/music. In this podcast, I deconstruct these original soundtracks one by one, sharing the separate musical parts, decisions and stories behind how each complete tune was made.
