Jingle-uary Day 8
Here's today's track, a little late in the day but here nonetheless! What can I say, I've been listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem lately and just wanted to see if I could kick out something at least vaguely reminiscent of those great grooves. Got some exciting tracks coming this week, stay tuned, and have a great sounding week! #jingleuary
Jingle-uary Day 7
Well we've reached the end of our first full week, so we're having a little fun. Grab your martini and a big plate of pasta and listen in. Here's today's track. Last night I watched Moonstruck with my wife, and besides being more enamored than expected with a young(er) Cher, I really enjoyed all that Italian culture and music. It was bouncing through my head all night and still when I woke up this morning. So why not bust out the accordian and have some fun, right? Any Italia
Jingle-uary Day 6
Here's today's track, which we're happy to share but won't force-feed into your iTunes, like *some* bands would. I've always loved a song that plays with tension, both the "slow burn to an exploding frenzy" and the "you think it's never going to end" version. We're trying to give you a little release here, with that slow start and a (hopefully) satisfying final set of changes where things really open up and shine. There's two influences at play here worth discussing. The firs
Jingle-uary Day 5
We cannot tell a lie (little early for that reference we know...), we were booked in the studio all morning recording podcasts with Treehouse Networkshop and thought about phoning this one in. We've got a pretty solid library of tracks we could drop on you at any given time. But that seemed like an inauspicious move for it only being Day 5, and sort of defeats the whole point of writing something new every day, right?!0 Luckily on the commute back to Hugmonster HQ a little in
Jingle-uary Day 4!
Ok, fine, you love library music, you love free music, and you just can't imagine putting something in your web video that DOESN'T have a glockenspiel. Luckily, we've got a glockenspiel! Just listen to this! We couldn't help but countrify this one a little bit, suitable for all your sunset shots and emotional mother-daughter reunions on the farm. Having fun yet? We sure are! Don't forget to retweet, follow, and share the Sonic Love! #jingleuary
Jingle-uary Jazz-uary!
Day Three of Jingle-uary brings this short little jazz number to you. Maybe it's all that Christmas music (why is everyone suddenly a jazz fan in December?), or the inspiration of the full moon, but this little melody popped into my head last night, so I jotted it down then, and bring it to you today! What good is such a short jazz clip? Well, think back to some of the classic jingles you remember from game shows and TV ads, and you'll realize that many of them have a solid f
Jingle-uary Day 2
Well the calendar says January 2nd, so even though the kids are still home from school it's time for another installment of Jingle-uary. Here's today's track! This is a work-in-progress for Treehouse Networkshop that we worked up today. We were given a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club song, The Black Keys, and a Bud Light ad as references, and this is the 3rd of 5 tracks we pitched. So far they love it and we'll be working up some iterations and versions next week. Treehouse Netwo
Happy Jingle-uary!
This month the team at Hugmonster Sound will be writing a new music track every weekday to share with our friends and followers. A little something to loosen those year-end cobwebs, get the new year rolling, and have a little fun. We're calling it Jingle-uary! You may think we're crazy, but there are two great reasons we're embarking on this little project. First, we've always loved seeing our visual artists friends participate in sketch-a-day projects like Inktober, and fran
