Themes, beds and backing tracks...
Here's a smattering of the music I've done for podcasts and small-scale radio projects...
2010
jamelopoeia - opening [0:38]
jamelopoeia - glistening.mp3 (748 KB MP3 @160 kbps)I was asked if I would like to create a suite of jingles for a podcast that will be running at the Girlguiding UK Centenary Camp which takes place at the end of July this year. I felt privileged to be asked and happily agreed. I've made the odd bit of music for podcasts before (see below) and some jingles / sweepers for presenters on community and internet radio stations, but this was my first 'proper' commission.
My brief was to create jingles which sounded (as the Guides running the station requested): "Vibrant, fun, humorous, memorable, youthful, adventurous, energy, global, variety, colourful, sparkling" and I wanted to make it sound contemporary. I hope I've managed to achieve this!
