Flight of the Blue Dove

Jamming on some synths while accompanied by an AI-generated backing track.

Christmas in Rockland

A red bobble next to a tiny evergreen tree in a field of snow

A laid-back but power rhythm leads a Vangelis-esque pulsing bass drone, accompanied by a choir synthetic and sampled voices from around the world. Add a little bit of regal horn and sparkling hand bells, and you’ve set the scene for Christmas in Rockland.

Alternative Epilogue

A happy little tune composed on a thrift store rescue, the Yamaha PSR-12 (with some modern strings at the end).

O Christmas Tree

Apple released a new drummers pack for the iOS version of Garageband, so I decided to give one a try with a Christmas classic.

Tinsel Time

Here’s a little something for the holidays, a relaxed winter holidays-styled tune of orchestral instruments atop a percolating percussion loop with hints of the traditional “Jingle Bells” melody.

Christmas Cookies

Here’s a Christmassy tune perfect for your holiday video projects. A moderate tempo modern rhythm under sparkling bell synths and sleigh bells, occasionally sprinkled with twinkling piano and steam pops.

Pan’s Cold Steel

An interesting drum loop laced with drippy-jingly foley followed by a spastic steel drum loop makes for a unique tune.

In The Now

Here’s a nice laid-back track incorporating some loops from Cymatics, featuring melodies performed on the Korg i3 and VK-1 Viking Synth VST.

Bird’s Eye View

At 150bpm, it’s not a slow song by any means, but a moderate beat wrapped in an acidy-arp that creates a sweet groove for the melody to play around.

Colonel Pop

This is a fairly laid-back tune with a pumpin’ bassline under piano layered with synth pads, wrapped in a percolating electronic marimba that elicits visions of a popcorn maker. Built upon a solid foundation drum loop by Looperman artist “abelouis”.
