Zelda's Lullaby Reharmonized

Found this track I threw together one afternoon a few years back. Fixed up the mix & master a little and thought I'd post it.

Compositionally it's not the deepest (it's fairly predictable), but the instrumentation & arrangement is sorta fun. A friend said it sort of felt like an alternate special stage song.

Anyway, enjoy.

Sonic Mania-inspired song I threw together one afternoon

Just messing around. Track sampled is Steven Campbell's / The Road to Ringusson / The Bag of Beer by Solas.

Celtic Hip Hop Thing

On a completely different note than the last one (no pun intended), this is the second update to my experimenting with my vintage synths. This uses a Roland D50 synth plugin, samples from a LinnDrum drum machine, and my good ol' DX7 now added in. Again, this may become something eventually. Just thought I'd share. :) 

Experimenting With Vintage Synths (updated)

Just another day of screwing around. Celtic hip hop? Sorta?

Sampling Celtic things again

is this hip hop

featuring my best friends Korg M1 and Yamaha DX7 plus some older drum machine emulators or something

Random Groove or something Idk

Just a little retro-styled upbeat track I threw together. Once again sneaked in some Roland D50 and Yamaha DX7 action because why not.

The art is a painting by Simon Stålenhag who is also a brilliant musician who has done some really cool retro/Genesis sounding stuff and did the music for Ripple Dot Zero (which you should play): https://soundcloud.com/simon-st-lenhag

Launchpad, 1987

Fat groove I threw together using a great guitar loop sample from https://soundcloud.com/simon-st-lenhag: https://soundcloud.com/simon-st-lenhag/tuesday-guitar-loop

Fantasy

I grew up hearing a lot of gospel music in Nashville

I also grew up hearing a lot of music from the Genesis

why not mix the two together

and then you get this monstrosity of a SoundCloud picture

enjoy

also this sounds kinda muddy on one of my speakers so i'm sorry if it sounds muddy on yours

i don't really care to mix this in some gorgeous way.

AMEN SOMEBODY

Just a simple little track I made meant as background music for my RTTTA show on YouTube. Decided to throw it on SoundCloud.

My YouTube channel this will pop up on: http://youtube.com/GarArtStudios

Edgy Jazzness - BGM for RTTTA

Simple little groove I threw together. Maybe this will eventually become something bigger. Happy 2016. 

2016

Just a lil track I threw together to serve mainly as background music for videos and shtuff. Hope you enjoy. :)

Forget It

Another track I threw together sampling a Celtic piece. :) This one was fun, the groove is based off Jeff Porcaro's "Rosanna" drum groove.

This isn't fully mixed; I'll probably go back and tweak this at some point when I have time, but I thought I'd just throw this online for now for y'all to enjoy. It sounds good enough for the time being. :)

Sampled piece is called "Snowball" by Lunasa.

Ireland x R&B

This was a voice memo I recorded of something I came up with to use in a comedic part of a series of mine called RTTTA. While I didn't use this arrangement in its entirety, snippets of this can still be found in the sequence near the end of the episode when playing back a flute cover of the Zelda theme I found on YouTube. The episode I'm referring to can be found here: https://youtu.be/l_0utYphENQ

"Done With Not Scary"

Fantastic, funky guitarist @corywong posted a guitar warmup groove recently and I couldn't help myself and added my flavor into the mix. You can see the video for it here: https://bit.ly/2GaA1Qf

Writer's Block (Cory Wong Guitar Sample)

Heard an incredible acoustic cover of "Walking on a Dream" by @gardiner-sisters and using their sample as a base, I came up with this. 

While I was in London recently, I wasn't so much musically inspired as I was experimentally inspired. When I got home I wanted to try experimenting with my tools in different ways than I had before to try and get a unique, large sonic palette, and this was the result.

Walking on a Dream

Become One

uh oh I'm at it again

Sample is "Pontivy" by Lunasa

I Used You Just As You Said

This was a pitch for a gig, but it didn't go through. So here, you guys have it!

Tokyo Clouds

Been loving Animal Crossing New Horizon's soundtrack, and I was inspired to make a song in the style of it!
