Hello again,
So I have finally posted a new song on the site. I've got a bunch more just hovering in my computer right now and I want to share them with you but because they are actually going to companies I have to wait and see and find out if I'm even aloud to post them. Crazy right?! Such a whole new world for me now. So as usual stay tuned. I hope to post them within the next several weeks.
The new one that's up is called The Olympian and I am extremely proud of this one. I worked with instruments that I had very little knowledge of up until now. So I got out my handy-dandy orchestration book and took a crash course on brass and wind instruments. Man are they more complicated then strings! Placement and range and what instruments go or don't go with what instruments were super important. I learned that for the most part they are more effective when they're not all playing at once. That was hard to do since I like a lot [...]

I just know that 10 years from now I'll be sitting on the big wrap around porch of my beachfront property in Carmel sipping ice tea thinking "how did I get so much done at once without completely losing my mind?" I paint a pretty picture don't I;)
But it's true (the thoughts part, can't guarantee the Carmel part) I honestly don't know how I'm doing all that I'm doing. Only by the grace of God....well that's a whole other story;) But I can say one thing for sure. I am having a blast being crazy!!
OK, onto my news.
I just uploaded 4 new tracks called Swirling, Other Worldly and Odyssey(with and without the vocal chant). They should be the top 4 songs on the flash player but you can also find them in the Orchestral and Quirky folders. I'm encouraging you to look through these folders cause there's a grip load of music on the site now. And it's free to you!!! So.... check em out:)
All 4 of those tracks as well [...]

Hi everybody,
Just wanted to stop by and show you some stuff that I've been working on. I uploaded 5 tracks for you to check out but I'm only going to keep them up until June 15th! Reason being, I'm selling them to "somewhere" so after I do that I'm hazy on whether or not I can post them anymore.
I have a couple of reasons that I've even posted them at all:
First off, I am SO proud of them that I just HAD to share them with you. "Countdown" and "Anxiously Awaiting" came at me at almost the exact same time and were finished within a week. I just love strings and I think that that is made very clear in these 2 pieces. "Mystic" incorporates my new favorite instrument, the hang drum, and is a kind of freestyle ambient. I bet that would work for meditation or something.... hmm. "Ghost Buster" and "Funky Bigtime" are funky and big-band style which is hilarious because I don't even really like these genres very much. But I know they're [...]

Just posted a new song on the flash player called Mysterious. You can also find it in the music tab in the Drama/Mystery folder.

Mysterious just got signed to an East Coast music library, my 3rd library (thank you TAXI for the forward)!
I was a little nervous at first because this library originally wanted Something's Out There (that one's in the Orchestral folder if you want to check it out) but that one already had found it's home in another library. Worried that I'd upset this new library with this information, I asked them what sound(s) they were looking for. I took notes and hammered out Mysterious' rough draft in an hour. Although I had to do several edits within the next several weeks (which in itself worried me seeing as this library had already mentioned that they don't like to go back and forth editing a track, they usually take it or pass) it was finally finished to their liking. The song was ok'd, uploaded [...]
Hello everyone,
So Kel and I have done it yet again! Our 3rd co-write Space Pop is now up for your listening enjoyment.
http://www.jeannamurphy.com ;. You can also find it in the music section on my site in the "quirky" folder. Our fastest colab yet. I think we only sent this one back and forth 3 times! That's ubber fast for me at least!
I'd love to hear what you guys think cause I don't know what to make of it...in a good way of course. It's definitely a new sound for us and it keeps totally getting stuck in my head. I love that I like my songs:)
Also, and I don't know why I didn't think to say this earlier, if you'd like to check out Kel's solo work you can find him at
http://www.kostar8.com/index.html His stuff is way more rock influenced which is probably why we're such a good mix. He's been working INSANELY hard lately. I mean my crazy busy is put to shame by his insanely crazy [...]
