Here's a happy little pop tune that grew from a persistent melody I had running through my head one day. When I transcribed that melody, it found its muse in a whistle, and everything else just fell into place from there.

Strolling in the Glades

Strolling In The Glades

Here's a holiday weekend creation using a few different arpeggiators together to build the accompaniment to a melody you can whistle along to.

Victoria's Happy Dance

Victoria's Bouncy Dance

Here's a happy little tune put together whilst playing with the iOS Moog app Model D, based on the infamous Minimoog synthesizer from the 70s.

Bug-in-a-Box

Here's a sprightly tune built around a melodic bass line featuring the u-he TyrellN6 VST plugin preset "Oddy Wow". With a few other virtual instruments and drum loop sandwiched in, as always.

A Song Of Earth And Wind

Silver Spoons

The snow came to stay finally this week, so I was inspired to try my hand at the Xmas classic "Walking in a Winter Wonderland". Composed during a 90-minute live stream.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland - Transanitized

Walking In A Winter Wonderland - Transanitized

Like driving in a blinding blizzard, I decided to tackle a Christmas classic I'd never played before. Built in Garageband during a 90-minute live stream without referencing any other version of the song (or tab/sheet music).

Let It Snow - Transanitized

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

Alternative Epilogue

An up-tempo tune made from samples recorded from the Elka E-19 organ, with a little modern interlude sandwiched in.

Elkasampler E-19

Elkasampler E - 19

A decidedly 80's anthemic synth-rock blaster with a catchy melody and uplifting spirit.

Voyager 66

Voyager - 66

A nice laid-back tune composed of acoustic guitar loops and D50 "pan flute" chorus melodies, with verse melodies provided by english horn. It's like a kettle whistling to an easy-listening pop tune.

Kettle Pop

Here's a tune that sandwiches a Korg i3 workstation synth into the MIDI path of a Yamaha PortaTone keyboard's auto accompaniment function set to Disco. Throw in a bit of live piano and some melodies played on the i3 and an old Korg MS-10 analogue synth, and you end up with this happy, poppy song.

Auto at the Disco

Auto At The Disco

Here's a soft, soothing piece of swirling pads, cavernous marimba and a little light piano. Perfect soundtrack for flyover drone footage.
