Some of you may know that we’ve been messing around with music for flash animations for a while now. The usual reasons – clients wanted some form of musical track added to their flash opus, can’t just rip off a techno-beat sample from the latest Paul Oakenfold album, and most ‘out of the can’ flash music samples aren’t worth spit. Always a bit of a frustrated musician, I went about setting up a small recording studio (needed for our upcoming podcast series anyway) and putting whatever little musical prowess I had to work. Became sort of a pet project of mine (and the Mrs. did tell me I needed a hobby). Even ‘branded’ the idea with a name and a logo (hey, we’re The Logo Factory after all). Finally got around to mixing a track this weekend, using a score that I had laid down last year. It’s a little on the raucous side (probably better to turn the sound system down a bit). Originally put together a few years ago, just recently got around to mixing it into a more playable format. Contains samples, drum computers, live keyboards and guitar. Now, while I’m certainly no Jean Michelle Jarre, I think it sounds pretty good for an amateur hacker such as myself. If you like, you can click on the music icon or download the track here. Four-and-a-half minute MP3 file size weighs in at about 4.1 MB so you’ll need a healthy set of pipes if you don’t want to wait all day. Music critics need not apply.
