Variations on the AcoustiMedia Theme 

Each of these compositions is based on the AcoustiMedia Theme, a five note idea clearly stated at the beginning of the AcoustiMedia Fanfare.  The other variations are intended to demonstrate our ability to work with a theme within a wide array of styles and instrumentations.  Please download each file by right clicking on the appropriate title below.

AcoustiMedia Fanfare
A brassy and heroic fanfare setting of our five note theme.

Soothing Strings
An emotional and semi-romantic rendering for string orchestra.

Classical Piano
A playful, Mozart-like piano solo that runs the five note theme through a swift series of variations.

Funky Groove Cat
Here’s a propulsive funk twist on our theme featuring organ and flugel horn.

Introspective Guitar
This is a thoughtful and peaceful variation for acoustic guitar with light percussion accompaniment.

AcoustiToon
A cross-eyed homage to Carl Stalling and Ray Scott.  If Bugs Bunny worked for us, this is what it would sound like.

 

Driving Urban Groove
Music for a mean city.

Acous-TV!
It’s the AcoustiMedia theme done up 1950s sitcom style… with a slight dose of enthusiastic insanity.

Moog Me
Several banks of Moog effects contributed to this decadent throw back to the early age of synths.  It doesn’t get much funkier than this.

Action
In the proper cinematic tradition, here’s a take on pulse-pounding, action scoring, full of odd angles and orchestral cries. 

Dressed Breakfast
Three courses served simultaneously: Placidly disturbing strings, a disembodied sax solo, and raw fragments of our omnipresent theme.  A disturbing concoction.  (Extra points to those of you who get the reference in the title.)

Jazz Ballad
Written while the smooth jazz album was in production, and utilizing many of the same flavors.  Something to take the edge off a hectic day.
