Hi gang, after tonight's session I decided to share some of what I do. Here's what I'm calling my first five. I have about 50 songs in my arsenal. For sync, maybe 35...tops. I'm up to 15 on disco and am shooting for 20 before I start sending...(I will probably begin sooner). The first two songs are my newest. The next one you might have heard when I came into the group. Two more - from this year and 20 years ago respectively. Lastly, a tribute to my mom - featuring bgv's by my brothers, sons, nieces and nephews. And one more with a link to the video - you'll see that it just makes more sense with video. I know it's probably way different from most of yours. Anyway, this is what I do. Basically mushy, cute, sincere or pun-based. https://s.disco.ac/wastttvqgngr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXAZ-zpRq58 I'd really like to hear your stuff!

Hey SV fam - Just sharing some new work with you all. I welcome any feedback you'd like to give, but ultimately just want to contribute to our community and highlight some of the sounds and writing inspirations I'm feeling these days. This track originated from a short sample I snagged from a different song of mine, one I wrote in 2024. I took a passage I really liked from the end of that song and sped it up about 10BPM and then wrote a whole new piece around the sample. I had so much fun with this one and definitely recommend trying this kind of thing as a production exercise. The original song was titled "Is That Betsy?" Fun fact: The title of the original song came from a circus I went to when I was a kid, and my Aunt Betsy was one of the professional dancers in it. She wore a really sparkly costume and a huge headdress, and I barely watched the rest of the show, because every time I saw one of the lady circus dancers, I yelled out, "Is that Betsy!!?" I named this newer 'remake' "Carnival Crown" as a nod to the original title. Apparently, that's one of the official terms they used for that type of headdress. https://s.disco.ac/yaevhyhxltwx

Hey gang, I'm back again with a couple pop songs that I'm trying to finish up this week and could use a little feedback! Both tracks have been sitting on my hard drive because I could never get vocal takes that I liked, so I had two different vocalists come in to help me out with them. https://s.disco.ac/egpgqgiisbbs BENJAMIN -I'm definitely going to re-title this one. After listening to it, what is a title that you would give this song? -Originally produced this one in my classic dark pop/Tate McRae/Nessa Barrett style, but after sitting with it for awhile and not totally loving it, I was thinking of remixing in into a more electronic pop song to match some of my other more "Boss Pop" songs in my catalog. Worth a shot? Keep it as is? Have both in my catalog? LA LA LA -A song I wrote years ago, but ended up recording after seeing a TAXI brief wanting music similar to Obsessed by Olivia Rodrigo, so I used that song as a reference. I'll link that song below too. This style is a little out of my comfort zone, so I'm completely unsure if this instrumentation works? What else does it need/not need? -The vocalist is a dark pop singer like myself, should I add more dark pop elements to suit her voice or will it work as is?

Hi all, I am considering pitching my Emotional Piano playlist as I continnue to work on my Trap cinema playlist. I am sure if this is pitch ready in terms of arrangements and mixdown. Do I need to soften the tracks a little more? Are the tracks editor friendly? https://s.disco.ac/tqkbhkteyzgw Many thanks

Sync Vault: I'm still struggling to find the best way to describe my overall style of cinematic electronica when writing pitch emails, etc. (That old saying is true, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.") Last night I heard a song on the Apple TV show "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed" that feels stylistically adjacent to some of the things I compose. I would love for some SV peeps to listen to this track, "My Head is Empty" by the band This Will Destroy Me, and give me some ideas about words that reflect both the genre of this sound and the mood terms that would make sense in the metadata for a song like this. What do you think? https://youtu.be/HM6RBgYA3k8?si=GGplsH6YYRAtCJvt
