Listen Later

This music track covered in this week's episode is called Jazzy Detective. It's a soundtrack inspired by the moody swing jazz of the 1940s. It was written as a character theme for a gorilla detective for the medieval comedy audio drama The Saga of the European King.

In this episode, we explore:

  • creating vintage swing jazz instrumentation in a modern era
  • hiding your limitations if you haven't got expensive equipment or instruments
  • re-purposing live recordings from your other projects

    • ABOUT THIS SHOW

      How I Make Music is a show for music producers, podcasters, audio drama creators and film-makers. Hey, I'm John Bartmann. I make music and offer advice on how to make it. My original music has been used in film, TV, radio and online. Each week, I write, record and release a new soundtrack. 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. Then, I offer understanding into that process to make your own productions shine!
