Craze Music - Shaolin Funk - 3 Min

Craze Music - Shaolin Funk - 3 Min

Of course we have to end this week's batch of new tracks with an uber cool "Shaolin Funk" track! A bit feeling of nostalgia to the old Martial Arts games on the Amiga 500 and C64:
Chambers of Shaolin, IK+, Full Contact. Listen to this cool track, be happy and remember the good ol' times! :-D
To get the right feeling, I use a collection of authentic ethnic instruments! This song evokes feelings of Asian atmospheric style with a driving cool rhythm using ethnic instruments such as bawu flute, guzheng, gong and Chinese cymbals. A pretty bright feeling and cool background beat, great for oriental adventures. Feel the power of Ancient Kung Fu! Gather your Karate heroes and awesome Shaolin Monks.
Now, get out of that chair and show off some cool Kung Fu moves! I know you have the power! (Just very well hidden... ;-)

Great American Song Contest Finalist - Go for Gold and Glory!

"Outstanding songs were discovered all categories of the 17th Annual Great American Song Contest. GASC Judges reviewed songs by nearly 1800 songwriters around the world. The impressive quality of songwriting made the task of choosing winners enjoyable, but also challenging. [...] All scored near the top of their respective categories."



The track Go for Gold and Glory has just been announced as finalist in the Great American Song Contest! Here is an image snapshot of the INSTRUMENTAL category results from their site.
Sometimes, not every year, I submit that year's best track(s) to one or two competitions. Had some really good years 2010-2011 where I even won 3rd prize in the International Songwriting Competition, but now it was a while ago that I got some good positions. It's always nice to get recognition from industry professionals that I do stuff that reach top notch quality while measured against other artists. If you prefer listening with visuals, you can check the YouTube version here.

Want to check out its variants (intro, stinger, 30 sec, loop, etc) and/or license the track for private or commercial use?As simple as always: just get it here on site [Go for Gold and Glory], and pay a small fee to use it in your product/clip/whatever!

Cheers!

Broadcast Placement on Travel Channel in Ghost Adventures

Got a broadcast placement on one of the BIG channels - Travel Channel!
The Show: Ghost Adventures!
Placed track: Quirky Little Tale - 2 Min Loop

Not my first guess that it would end up in a TV Show about ghost adventures, I must say... but of course, each episode has a variety of moods. Will try to get my hands on that episode. Would be cool to know how the track was used. :-)
Anyway, if you're intrested in Fun and Playful tracks or Ghost Tracks, have a peek in these genres:

Fun and Playful
Mystery / Spooky / Horror

Peace, Love and all that. :-)
