Farewell Finley, Fàilte Fibi

Poor Finley has finally met his end! Months of ailments & a nasty fall forced major disassembly...
Looney Orchestra
by Darin Münch
Here's one of my older personal favorites -- my take on Looney Tunes, replete with zany percussion, quirky tuba, woodwinds, and dangerously curious strings. This piece was actually inspired by BBC's Planet Earth, but it reminds me of the classic cat-and-mouse chase.
Three Little Elves
by Darin Münch
This curious, gentle, minor-key ditty sounds a lot like its title. Gentle pizzicato clusters and glass harmonica are guided through a magical forest by some very helpful percussion. Eventually, these 'elves' meet the Three Little Flutes, and together they all prance merrily toward an ambiguous finale. A personal favorite of mine from a few Christmas trees ago.

Four more of my tunes have made it into even more Microsoft Education videos! As usual, this cheerful batch was made possible by a collaboration with RUN Studios & Heartwise Records. These charming case studies examine the many ways technology can enhance today's classrooms. Have a look-hear at a few examples:
syDthetic is here :-)
by Darin Münch
Behold! My mini electro-album has arrived. This little bundle of synthesized joy emerged from the remnants of our Amazon Fire project. Sixteen quirky snippets of fun join forces to create syDthetic, a pocket record designed to augment smile radii. Enjoy!
Scoring the Modern Classroom
by Darin Münch
Wanna know what a 21st-century classroom sounds like? Check out my latest tune featured in a Microsoft Empowering Education video. This fun project was the result of yet another collaboration with RUN Studios and Brother Eric. This scholastic case study examines Leon County Schools of Tallahassee, FL and their new 1:1 digital initiative launched during the 2013-2014 school year. Have a look and a listen!
