Here's a short but fun little folk-blues ditty. Some slide dobro and knee-slap percussion give it a bit of a bluesy vibe. This one sounds a little bit country with a pleasant down-home feel. Features dobro slide guitar, knee-slaps, and a laid-back vibe. This might sound good in a Western or in a biography about someone's southern roots.

Here's one for stock videos that need a very sentimental sound. This is basic piano with some light backing strings to give it a bit of extra sugar. This one is slightly cheesy, but sometimes cheese hits the spot. Features major-key piano, strings, and a happy, emotional feel. This would sound great in a daytime TV series or as backing track for a biography interview.

This one is pretty much what it sounds like -- fingernails run across a bass guitar with some randomly tapped minor chords and other odd sounds. This one is slightly unsettling, but don't worry -- it can't get too far under your skin! Features bass guitar, SFX, and a creepy reverberant vibe. This would sound great in a horror movie or on a video that needs a touch of grit and mold.

Very quick little Mexican trumpet duet here. This one employs some chromatic harmony, but it still (hopefully) manages to sound authentic enough. I made this as part of a series for a biography about an elderly Mexican man who enjoyed a larger-than-life reputation in a small village.

This is a fun little snippet of fiesta music. This is straight-ahead mariachi party fare with short breaks for Mexican trumpet runs.

Here's a noble-sounding string symphony inspired by the songs of George Fenton, composer for BBC's various nature documentaries. Also reminiscent of Star Trek: A Next Generation, this piece has a gentle sense of flight with a good dose of adventure. Standard symphonic instruments here include strings, french horn, timpani, percussion, flute, and other breathy effects. This would sound great for a project related to flight or soundtrack that needs an avian vibe.

This quirky cello duet-triplet came about as an offshoot of some of my earlier chamber experiments. A happy, breathy song that takes on an allegro-presto pace, this one is designed to put a bewildered grin on your face. Inspired by the Goron Mine theme. There's even a touch of old Broadway show tunes here and there.

Here's a weird one that came outta who-knows-where -- staccato strings, stacked piano, and sitar join forces in this breathy, major chord east-west pattern. I suppose this is a sort of Philip Glass-style take on classical Indian music (or is it...?).

Here's my attempt at a 'vintage' Mexican love song. Unsteady strings and trumpets trade melodic phrases over a scratchy-sounding backing band. This was originally written for a biography about an elderly Mexican man with a larger-than-life reputation. Sweet and nostalgic, this one simply is what it is.

Here's a nice theme to celebrate bravery and heroism with a touch of sentimentality. One of my early attempts to squeeze the most out of Apple's Symphony Orchestra samples, this one has an epic and noble little heart.
