NOLA Horn Band
by Darin Münch
This lively, goofy New Orleans brass came to life in about 8 minutes due to a last-minute client request. It was ultimately orphaned, so here it is for your aural delight! I never got around to trying horn scoops, but this still delivers a passable (if corny) early-NOLA street jazz vibe.
Atoppa Nimbus
by Darin Münch
Here's a dreamy, airy, relaxing orchestral number I did for a past client. A mysterious guitar drone (courtesy of Eric @ Heartwise Records) is followed by floating strings, celeste, and lots of reverberant percussion. Great pick to establish an ambient, lighter-than-air atmosphere. This one came out oddly reminiscent of Bittersweet Symphony.
A Lonely Cello
by Darin Münch
This sad orchestral lament is a half-decade old as I write this, but something about its dark timbre made me want to dust it off and post it this morning. A mournful cello calls out to some low strings and horns before a doleful harp takes the movement to a more optimistic closer. Cheer up!
Chainsaw's Voyage
by Darin Münch
This inviting techno-EDM number is actually a major-key version of another track I did for a client. This happy electro fantasy has an epic, moving sound with a grinning chainsaw ecstasy chorus. Peaceful but driving, this hybrid would do well in a cheery clip that ends with a big bang! The verse is a bit reminiscent of Never-Ending Story, isn't it?
AM Funk Junk 2

AM Funk Junk 1
by Darin Münch
Here's a fun, funny, funky snippet I recorded long ago using a junk kit, a tapped bass, and the internal mic on a Powerbook laptop. [Part 2 here.] This bit of nothing sounds like an annoying AM radio.
A Robot's Dream
by Darin Münch
This tech-fantasy track was originally orphaned by a client in need of something a bit less unnerving. An electro nightmare of sorts, this piece has a nice driving, sinister, wired sound with a wicked EDM chorus. A bit of a quantized mind trip, this number would do well in a thriller-drama scene or perhaps an unsettling animation.
Evolving Skies
by Darin Münch
I wrote this piece for a client looking to score an epic event. This warm, acoustic-electronic fantasy starts off with light, airy piano backed by some techy-string elements. After a symphonic buildup, a big inexplicable dubstep drop leads the way to a glorious finale.
April Nightmare Clowns
by Darin Münch
This special tune is not for sale, but in honor of April Fool's Day, here's a creepy rock experiment I put together many years ago for one of my favorite people.
