MUSIC
People who visit this page likely ask “WHY is there a MUSIC page for an AUTHOR?”. I often ask myself this same question. There really is no good answer.
Despite having little vocal talent and no training at all, I enjoy producing and recording music for my own amusement, then posting it online. All the singing has been autotuned beyond recognition. I use Cubase Studio 5 and a host of samples, synths and instruments to record and mix these. All of these songs were written by ear. Songs marked with a blue tab were inspired by Bran Hambric books.
POP TART HEART (August 2011)
Nyan Cat was one of the most popular internet memes in 2011. So of course, I had to make a song exposing the true story of a cat searching for love in space.
WIKILEAK IT
With all the Wikileaks hype in 2010, how could I NOT write a song about it? Featuring vocals from Ilana Zackon (youtube.com/IlanaZackon).
RUN BIEBER RUN
Two days ago, I saw this video of Justin Bieber running for his life from a mob of fangirls. The Beebz tweeted it and suddenly the video went from a few hundred to 800,000 views overnight. The horror I felt while viewing it inspired me to write a cautionary song to the teen hearthrob himself.
Luckily, the original girl who owned the video was nice and let me use clips in my music video. And so, exactly three months after my last song (Wannabe Gangsta, of equal oh-no-he-didn’t value) I’m pleased to present “Run Bieber Run”.
TUMBLIN
This song was inspired by the website Tumblr. If you don’t know what Tumblr is… I can’t tell you. It’s a rule.
WANNABE GANGSTA
This song was so much fun to do. I started off just playing around with the drums and working a new sound with an old beat I’d made when I was about 16. I kept playing around with the instruments, and the song just grew along with it.
OTHER SONGS
I have more of my older songs from the Bran Hambric soundtrack (and other things) in this playlist.
