I make music:  Awesome jingle for an abandoned screencast series.

This particular jingle was created when I was thinking about making a series of screencasts to show my students how to use search engines more effectively.  But after some basic research on my end, I decided that particular screencast market was a bit over-saturated.

Still, I like it, and I have put it on the Understanding Prezi screencasts that I feel are for more “advanced” topics.

I Make Music:  ”Understanding Prezi” Iterative Jingle

To make this jingle, I used the Otomata iterative music creator.  Then I took that file and put it in Garage Band to add the percussion.

I wanted something spacey with a bit of a driving undertone.  I think it was a pretty good result.

It’s used on some (but not all) of my “Understanding Prezi” screencasts.

I make music:  ”K-Cast” Chiptune Jingle Extravaganza

I have been creating a series of screencasts for a variety of educational purposes lately.  Given that I have some small understanding of production values, I figure that intro jingles will go a long way toward some sort of cohesive branding of the videos.  Plus, I like to screw around with electronic music and such, so it gives me an excuse.  

I’ve run up a few of them at this point, so I thought I might start posting them, in the order in which they were created.  Here’s the first one.  

It was made on the (free) aviary roc music creator, and I was trying to make it as “chip-tuney” as possible for a retro feel.  Like if you fired up an NES and this came out of the speakers on your CRT TV.
