I like running.<br />
<br />
It's not often these two worlds collide in a job, but I was recently asked by <b><a href="http://www.soarrunning.com/" target="_blank">Soar Running</a>,</b> designers of high performance running wear, to provide film music and sound design for their recent online promotion campaign.<br />

For the first run in the pre-dawn cold. For getting in the miles. For running in the pouring rain. For the hard sessions. For being up when the city sleeps. For clearing the head. For the freedom.<br />Whatever you run for, wear something that pushes you through each step. Performance running wear that you can sweat, move, and breathe in.

The running gear is really good, and they're a forward-thinking, highly-motivated outfit. Running clothes "designed by runners".<br />

<blockquote>We're on a mission. This catchy tune will get us where we want to be, in a lively and upbeat fashion. A jumpy, motivational groove provides an optimistic soundtrack to a joyful, inspiring journey. Funky rhythm guitar driven by a fat but energetic beat provide the groove, while retro 80's synthesizers play delicious chord pads. This would suit energetic multimedia content of any kind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Imagine a long forgotten land, a mythical place of inherited memory, inhabited by an ancient race. This is how I think the music of these intelligent, contemplative people might have sounded.
Everyday sounds become mysterious and hypnotic when transported to a mystical place. This dreamy ambient space is perforated by dark and intense waves of primitive noise, adding tension and release for the listener.
This atmospheric music would suit documentary-type media wishing to convey a feeling of 'comfortable strangeness'.</blockquote>

This one's called <b>The Giddy Limit</b>, and is a catchy, energetic roller-coaster ride of a track.
<blockquote>This is a big, dynamic track that brings to mind the feeling you get on an extreme roller-coaster ride. Confident, energetic and joyful, it sets off at a strong driving pace, but before you realise, you're thrown head-first into an uplifting dramatic rise, that culminates in a powerful and upbeat groove with an emotional and deeply catchy string melody. This music can bring a powerful sense of energy and optimism to any media experience.</blockquote>

Called <b>Cotton</b>, it's a driving, aggressive pop tune. As described on AudioJungle:
<blockquote>A big, urban dance track powered by a driving hip-hop beat versus a seriously infectious bassline. It’s melodic and memorable, but remains aggressive and tough-edged. This music would fit perfectly in an energetic, powerful environment. If your content represents action, adventure, sport, or extreme activity, this would be the perfect soundtrack.</blockquote>

There's a new sound about on AudioJungle. My latest monster, <strong>Animus</strong> has just been unleashed to the public. It's a killah! As described on AudioJungle:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is a tense but melodic Dubstep track. Driven by old skool beats and an antisocial wobble bass, a ghostly piano blows through it like a forgotten wind from the distant past. A solitary beep is reminiscent of a life-support system, informing the listener about the state of their vital functions. This is a big track, and would suit any content that wishes to express a need followed by relief, or the transformation of tension into resolution.</blockquote>

My latest tune is up now on AudioJungle. <strong>Little Bit</strong> is a light and tender offering, compared to most of my previous uploads. From the description on AudioJungle:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This track conjures up a nostalgic feeling, like finding a long-lost favourite toy from your childhood, or an aroma that takes you straight back to somewhere nice you can’t quite remember. From this peaceful place, it unexpectedly pulls you right back to the present with a climactic melodic reverie, then gently carries you back, to a place you sense is… ‘home’.</blockquote>

My latest track, <strong>Touch</strong>, has just been approved at AudioJungle. It's quite a silly, happy dance track bolstered by the flabbiest, gusting bassline ever. From the description on AudioJungle:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is an upbeat and positive dance track, full of hooky synths, spacy beeps, melodic glitches, deep bass and the most ridiculous flatulent bassline heard this side of the Heinz beans factory! Youthful, happy and carefree, this track would be the perfect combination alongside all types of enthusiastic and energetic content - anything with a ‘get up and go’ feel.</blockquote>

My latest declaration of hostilities has arrived at AudioJungle. It's a cracking dubstep track called <strong>This Means War</strong>. The description speaks for itself:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
Tooled-up and ready for the battlefield, this Dubstep track enlists you with seductive military manoeuvres, then throws you, battle-ready, into total war. After a brief but brutal skirmish, it retreats only after extreme violence has been wreaked and the enemy are begging for mercy! This music would sit very well with any high-energy, fast-paced content, it increases adrenaline and prepares the listener for affirmative action.</blockquote>

My latest track for AudioJungle was approved last week. It's a head-nodding, body-rocking electronic rock monster called <strong>Machine</strong>. The description reads like this:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is a lively, fast-paced electronic rock tune, held together by a rhythm guitar riff and the most obese drums. Intersperced with a trance-inducing string riff, the track motors along until a manically funky wah-wah guitar solo unleashes itself on the listener. This music would perfectly suit ‘action-filled’, sport, or any high-octane media.</blockquote>

My latest piece, <strong>Burning</strong>, has been approved for sale at AudioJungle. Different to previous Slengtone uploads, this is a deeply experimental music collage, an evocative journey of sound. As it says on the AudioJungle page:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is an emotional and evocative musical collage. It conjures up feelings of deep nostalgia, like opening a long-forgotten box of dusty artefacts and faded snapshots from the past, or listening to a crackly old vinyl record from your youth. It would especially suit documentary-type media wishing to convey hindsight or regret.</blockquote>

There's a new Slengtone track up on AudioJungle. This song, <strong>Free Run</strong>, is a fast-paced energetic competitor, ferocious but friendly. The blurb describes it perfectly:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is an energetic, youthful piece of music. Bursting with positive tension, it explodes into a high-speed, action-filled groove, perfect for fast-moving affirmative content, such as extreme sports, fast driving or any media wanting to communicate a high level of excitement.</blockquote>

I've just uploaded my newest tune for AudioJungle. <strong>The Killer's DNA</strong> is a dark, twisted Dubstep groove. Short and powerful, like a hidden serial killer, it's ready to be incarcerated into any murderous media. As the description says:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This track is like a short, sharp shock. It’s a tense, wobble bass dubstep thriller. Starting with a bone-deep tension, it speedily resolves into an adrenaline-pumped twisted groove. It could be used for any high-speed, scary action-filled content, such as extreme sport or fast car sequences.</blockquote>

As of today, there's another Slengtone tune up on AudioJungle. This is <strong>Deep Urban Tribe</strong>, a percussion-driven piece with a dark, urban atmosphere. The description on AudioJungle:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is a dark and emotional piece of music, comprising of a driving rhythm (made by drums, bells, field recordings of a river and distorted breathing sounds), enhanced by an overdriven wah-wah guitar pattern and unusual textures. Whilst particularly suited to any media with a ‘serious’ or ‘threatening’ nature, this music would also empower any message aimed at the tech-savvy, urban individual with an awareness of the essential interplay between the world’s contemporary cultures and cutting-edge technology.</blockquote>

My plan is to release a new piece of music on AudioJungle about every week, for the coming few months. This tune, <strong>Daybreak</strong>, is the second of my current series. It's a sweet little piece: lightweight but full of texture, like a just-ripened peach. ;-) From the description on AudioJungle:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
This is a pretty piece of music delivering a good, lighthearted mood. The soundscape is occasionally augmented by incidental sounds or granular textures, giving a feeling of realism or authenticity alongside a sense of ‘otherworldliness’. This music would suit any media with a low-key but positive and enthusiastic message.</blockquote>

My first AudioJungle upload for a year has just been accepted, I'm glad to say. After <a href="http://hit-by-a-rock.com/" target="_blank" title="A new LP by Hit By A Rock">working</a> on other <a href="http://www.23skidoo.co/" target="_blank" title="Playing guitar live for 23 Skidoo">projects</a>, it's good to be able to get back to this.<br />
The song is called <strong>Be Nice</strong>, and it's the result of playing around with some old 1980s music gear that I've got, including an Oberheim <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberheim_DMX" target="_blank" title="DMX drum machine on Wikipedia">DMX</a> drum machine, a Casio <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_CZ_synthesizers#VZ_series_synthesizers" target="_blank" title="Casio VZ-10M on Wikipedia">VZ-10M</a> synthesizer and, of course, my old Casio <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ-101#CZ-101" target="_blank" title="Casio CZ-101 on Wikipedia">CZ-101</a>.<br />
The description of the track on AudioJungle says it all:<br />
<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
An enthusiastic and uplifting dance track, inspired by and partly created with a variety of authentic 80s electronic music gear. The music is a bit cheeky, and downright naughty at moments, but it reveals within itself a strong will and passion as it powers through to the end. While it is fun and friendly, it is also a tough, stomping track that will lend itself to many multimedia or web-based uses.</blockquote>

This is a positive, uplifting track, based around a playful, melodic core. The poppy, bouncy feel of the melody is pleasantly augmented by a head-nodding Hip-Hop beat. This music would be well-suited to any media featuring uplifting or motivational content.</blockquote>
You can license this music to use in your own media for a mere $14! Listen to it <a href="http://audiojungle.net/item/early-riser/296279" target="_blank" title="Slengtone's "Early Riser" on AudioJungle">here</a>!

<blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote">
A melodic and strangely fulfilling piece of electronic music written in a contemporary Dubstep style. It will complement any fast-moving, suspense-filled content. Well-suited to film, video or multimedia, this speaker-pumping production conveys feelings of both tension and resolution to the listener.</blockquote>
