#037 90s Sitcom Joy
The soundtrack in this week's episode is called 90s Sitcom Joy. It’s a super quirky and silly parody of the theme music used in sitcoms like Full House in the 90s. It’s also currently my #1 most popular track by download on iTunes. The title, vocal harmonies and overall cheesy feel gives it a strong, easily identifiable mood. It’s suitable as a theme tune for introductions to geeky podcasts about casual topics like beer, film and TV, games and anything retro or 90s-themed.
IN THIS EPISODE
* The Saga of the European King medieval comedy audio fiction https://thesagaoftheeuropeanking.bandcamp.com/
* Tracks with any kind of vocals will always be more attention-grabbing
* Using drum loops instead of creating them with individual hits is more retro
* Stick to instrumentation from the period
* Double-tracked guitars and vocals provide a fuller sound

ABOUT THIS SHOW
How I Make Music is a show for music producers, podcasters and storytellers to better understand how digital-era composers make their music. Hey, I'm John Bartmann and I’m from Cape Town, South Africa. I write music and offer my own perspective on how to make it. My soundtracks, moods and themes have been used in commercial film, TV and radio, and also in plenty of non-commercial videos, podcasts and audio dramas. 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. Why? To help you better understand how to make, select and use production music that grips your audience.
