Follow as I write 100 short songs in 100 days. Each song is an experiment in some aspect of writing music, and is usually between 20-90 seconds long.... more

February 28, 2017Day 70 - FinaleDay 70. This didn't quite come out the way I wanted, I think all the chord hits might need more filling out with additional instruments. I had fun piecing together video effects to go along with the music though!...more1minPlay
February 27, 2017Day 69 - TimelessDay 69. Today's song is basically in no time signature, and features the electric cello again. It's a simple theme that I developed by flipping the notes and playing through it in a few different chords. There's a faint harp sound that helps provide context, and there's a soft droning soundscape under everything....more1minPlay
February 26, 2017Day 68 - BulletproofDay 68. I was determined to do something in under 30 minutes today. Decided to do something ethereal and mostly on the same tone to help make that easier. As weird as this is, I actually kind of like it....more1minPlay
February 25, 2017Day 67 - WhineDay 67. I'm not super thrilled with this, but I have a bunch of other things I need to do today so I need to be finished. I like the opening bit with the filter that opens up for 2 bars, but I was having a hard time figuring out what else to do with this today....more1minPlay
February 24, 2017Day 66 - SweepDay 66. Tried two new things today. First time attempting something in the "electro swing" style. I have a long ways to go to even approach sounding like Parov Stelar though. I also learned how to make the sweep sound that is in a bunch of this as well as other style music. The sweep sound is a white noise generator run through a filter whose cutoff frequency changing creates the sweep effect....more1minPlay
February 23, 2017Day 65 - DistanceDay 65. I decided to keep it simple with this one, only adding the little chimes on top of the piano and no other instruments. I used a strong wet reverb effect on the piano to give it a "distant" feeling....more1minPlay
February 22, 2017Day 64 - EsplanadeDay 64. There was a brief moment of sun today, so I took the opportunity to go on a bike ride up and down the esplanade! This song has nothing to do with the ride, though. This song started with the bells you hear at the beginning, and I built it up from there. I actually wasn't planning on adding the drums and synth sound until I got half way through building up the strings, but I thought it would be an interesting way of quickly escalating it....more1minPlay
February 21, 2017Day 63 - BuildDay 63. Got a late start on this again today. I was going for another super short "audio logo" style thing today. I made a totally different style video to accompany this to hint at the kind of thing I imagine this would be used for. Also had fun finding a few string samples like some major scale runs to use at the end....more1minPlay
February 20, 2017Day 62 - PipesDay 62. I spent most of the day on other projects, so wanted to do a simple song today. The video is my other project I worked on! I ran all the tubing for the pumps for BarBot today, and got to try out pouring a drink!...more1minPlay
February 19, 2017Day 61 - RushDay 61. I wanted to try writing something really short that was still a distinctive sound that makes you feel like you're in a new place. I got the idea from watching White Collar, where they have about 6 seconds of music at the beginning of the episode, just enough to set the stage without being a "theme song". This music isn't really anything like the White Collar music, but it's the same idea. I found a few timelapse video clips of cities that I thought felt appropriate for the music....more1minPlay
