Roland was apparently making a short photo film with the theme Red, and it was to be exactly 1 minute and 3. He asked if I had any music that would fit, so I decided to write something exactly that length, which is Less Red Than Red. Now, 1 3. I made a longer mix of the same composition with some extra instrumentation most notably piano, which is 2 4. More Red Than Red. On May 5, 2. Leo Laporte started using More Red Than Red as the theme music for his information policy special podcasts at This Week in Tech. Although the two versions here come from the same source recording, I think the emotional result is a bit different, especially with the piano coda on More Red, which was mastered as usual by Les Thorn in New York City. Less Red I mastered myself, not quite as well, but its fine. Anyway, both tracks are also available via i. Tunes and on the Podsafe Music Network. Both are  2. 00. Derek K. Miller SOCAN.

Back to the top. Well ring in the new year on the Penmachine Podcast with my second tune in a row where I actually sing, a month after my last one. It has been some time since an update, but there was Christmas and the new year and a bunch of gigs with my band, plus there was that CD album I released and that you should buy. But now Im back. This latest song has quite a story. Back in early December, my work set up a charity auction to take place at our Christmas party, where staff members paid money which went to a good cause and then got fake virtual money to bid on services by other staff members, such as free tech support, Japanese lessons, and so on. I offered a custom composed and recorded song. My co worker Carl won. He and his wife Cathy had an adorable son Kai last spring, so he asked me to write a song they could sing to him. I mulled that over for some time, and then one day it came, just like the clich in the shower. I had been thinking of an amazing song that my bandmate Mark Olexson had written and which I hope to convince him to release as podsafe one of these days for his wife Mandy for their wedding. Its first line is Theres a blue sky. I began singing a different melody in the shower, but with those words. When I had dried off I rushed downstairs and tried out some chords.

I wrote them for my two daughters, thinking that writing a song to be sung to someones child, it would be best to think of what I would sing to my own. So the song is for all three of them. The next day I recorded the acoustic guitar track and the basic vocals. It took ten days before I could finish the rest of the instruments, in dribs and drabs over nine different mixes of various complexity. The finished recording has 1. Hammond organ. It was complicated enough that Garage. Band was starting to choke on it, so I had to bounce the acoustic, drum, and percussion tracks into separate stereo mixes and then build the rest on top. Im very happy with the result, and so is Carl, my high bidder. Youre the Big Sky 4.
