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.

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.

White Christmas

This “transanitized” take on the Christmas Classic was built upon the 70’s Disco auto-accompaniment preset on the Yamaha PSR-225 from 1998. Then, with the exception of drums and sax, the accompaniment parts were remapped to other synths in the TranSan studio, including the Korg i3 and Yamaha TX-81Z. band-in-a-boxauto-accompanimentChristmasholidayyamaha psr-225

Shchedryk’s Choir of the Bells

Here’s another winter holiday-themed tune built upon a delightful bells loop by Looperman artist Minor2Go from Germany, and featuring drum loops from Marcco500 and Aplesos6.

Christmas in Alaska

Here’s a sleigh bells shakin’ dubstep with a simple melody of piano, chimes and strings. Featuring a wonderful holiday drum loop from Looperman artist alexisescalona and sounds from the Korg i3, Yamaha TX-81Z, Roland KR-500 and Yamaha TG33 synths, along with a smathering of VSTs.
