This style is super cheesy, but you'd never guess how time consuming it is to orchestrate/arrange! It's also a HUGE pain in the butt trying to produce. Most instrument libraries are geared towards one thing or another (let's face it, mostly pop music or epic Hollywood orchestral) so getting the instruments to sound genre-correct takes a lot of aggravating work. It's also harmonically dense. Some of the voicings still sound a bit funky to my ears, but I'm done working on this. If you're a musician, I urge you to give it a go. You'll waste days or weeks of your life on it and when you finally release it to the public, people will tell you it reminds them of Ren & Stimpy or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They'll never understand. They'll. never. understand. If you're working on something and need custom music, please get in touch. I especially enjoy working on animation.

This is yet another exploration of the light kitschy music of the 1950's. It's been some time since I've updated this collection of tracks and I feel it's appropriate that I pick things back up in a similar place to where I left off. Since the last posting, I've done some deeper study into the orchestration and arrangement practices of the time period, and managed to come up with something I think is a bit closer to being era appropriate.

This track is available for scoring, and also acts as a demo of some of my stylistic capabilities. If you'd like to commission custom work, please get in touch. I'm always interested in new projects.

This is a bouncy light orchestral jazz/pop track stereotypically used for 40's and 50's advertisements. It's light, fun, and kitschy, and believe it or not, incredibly challenging to produce. I spent weeks steeping my ears in the work of Les Baxter, Heinz Kiessling, Leroy Anderson, and Laurie Johnson in order to learn the ins and outs of kitsch string arrangement/orchestration. It's pretty dense stuff for what ends up ultimately being a musical joke.

Some of the flourishes in the woodwinds might be a bit distracting depending on the context of your film/game, but they're so idiomatic I couldn't bring myself to render a version without them. If it ends up being a problem, contact me and we can work something out.

This track includes the basics. I've rendered out full versions of the track as well as split intro/loop formats, and included a stinger in case you need to edit an ending into the middle. As always, uncompressed .wav are included along with 320kbps .mp3 files.

As with all the things posted here, this is freely available for use in games and/or animation projects. It also works as a sort of demo of my style and abilities. I’m actively looking for new gigs, so if you enjoy anything here please get in touch to discuss some custom work.

I’ve provided separate intro/loop files for ease of editing. If you would like to use this free loop, please message me for attribution requirements.
