Mystical Mouse Music
by Darin Münch
My latest creepy-techy-stringy commission is again featured in a new Microsoft Designer Bluetooth video! Again, this delightful project was the result of another collaboration with Brother Eric (a.k.a. Mix Master Munch!) and RUN Studios. Have a look and a listen!
If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you

Here's some fun news -- my latest commission is showcased is this spiffy new Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Keyboard video. This extra fun project was the result of yet another collaboration with Brother Eric (a.k.a. Mix Master Munch!) and RUN Studios. Have a look and a listen!
Pianocross
by Darin Münch
I quite nearly abandoned this grimy experiment before my mix was expertly salvaged by Eric over at Heartwise Records. This dark, brooding rock-groove features live single-mic'd drums and a gritty bass & organ duo toiling under a rickety upright piano. Part Led Zeppelin and part Nine Inch Nails, this slow-moving, atmospheric funk ended up unexpectedly colossal-sounding.
Meet Tuffy the Greyhound!
by Darin Münch
Formerly known on the Florida race tracks as NoMistakeAboutit, Tuffy the Greyhound is now a retired rescue and the official primo doggo of Syd Scotch Music! With profound thanks to Greyhound Pets Inc., today Tuffy is safe & sound with Syd right here in Seattle.
Orchestra TechEd!
by Darin Münch
Our super-secret symphony project is finally live! Watch a 25-piece orchestra bow-sync to my music at Benaroya's Nordstrom Hall in this cheerful Microsoft TechEd Europe ad. This spot debuted at the TechEd Europe show in Barcelona late last year. This delightful project was (once again) made possible by a collaboration with RUN Studios and Brother Eric (a.k.a. Mix Master Munch). Have a look and a listen!
Fuzzy Dog Music
by Darin Münch
Here's something fun & fuzzy -- one of my cheerful tech tunes has made it into a Purina dog food commercial! Once again I must thank Brother Eric at Heartwise Records for this canine connection. Watch the video on Amazon here!
Mouse Tech Spiffy Pop
by Darin Münch
One of my poppy syDthetic tech tunes has made it into this new Designer Bluetooth Keyboard video! This 17-second bit of fun is thanks to another collaboration with Brother Eric (a.k.a. Mix Master Munch) and RUN Studios. Watch the video on Amazon or take a peek below (courtesy of Microsoft Me Polska):
Gortimer Gibbon
by Darin Münch
A medley of whimsical tunes from my library have been featured in this 'behind the scenes' trailer for TV series Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street! This super charming video was put together by Brother Eric for Amazon Video’s now-beloved series. Check out the full video right here.
Azimuth Pilgrim
by Darin Münch
This dark, tense, synth-tinged orchestral epic is actually a minor-key draft of an upcoming client project [not for sale] that has since been brightened up with sunnier elements. A "director's cut" of sorts, this gloomier version is replete with influences ranging from Super Metroid's dramatic title theme to John Paul Jones's moody piano meanderings in Led Zeppelin's classic "No Quarter." Onward and upward!
