Psychedemia Podcast Jingle: “happyMorning”

2012-07-27: Android Jones is one of the primary visual artists for Psychedemia. He’s known for his spiritual/techno/futuristic creations, and I was focusing on his work when I created this bubbly “ancient tribal funk” jingle for the Psychedemia Podcast. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychedemia-Podcast/121569081316731 2012-06-19: Daniel said they LOVE it, so it’s a wrap!

The Music I’m Listening To…

I joined Last.fm last month, and it’s pretty cool seeing my listening habits all collated on the web. Of course, iTunes does it all itself, but i can only see its stats from my own computer. Last.fm lets anybody see it, and lets me see it from anywhere on the internet. Plus, it lets me […]

Music?
