Music for Video: Stay Inside with the Electronic Devices
Cozy up next to your space heater's comforting humm, rest a warm laptop over your thighs, and use your headphones as earmuffs as you enjoy a collection of instrumentals made by machines. For our latest Music for Video selection, a mix of beeps, buzzes, clicks and whirrs. Few of these sounds come from an instrument you learned in band class. They are perfect for your sexy robot love stories, hackday montages, and lonely urban sunrises.

1. Asthmatic Astronaut (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - The chill dance party that must go on inside our computer towers. These colorful wires have moves you've never seen before. 3. Leggysalad (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - This track has the amazing ability to infuse sentimental feelings the present moment. It's a flashback of your happiest moments spliced together into an sonic Facebook album. 4. Bleak House (website, BY-NC-SA) - Music for wondering if something's the matter, perfect for your most gentle and thoughtful moments. 5. C. Scott (website, CC BY) - In this magical dreamscape, all your beats will come true. 6. Johnny_Ripper (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - An innocent journey back to a simpler time that soon becomes exponentially more dynamic. A good match for an animation project. |
7. Johnny Haway (website, CC BY-NC) - The soundtrack to forward momentum. The title of this track is "My Gun Do Error." Once your ears identify phrase in the notes of the song, it will either ruin it for you or make you love it more.
8. Blue Ducks (website, BY-NC-SA) - Music for strutting down a dirt road at the start of your hero's journey. Distorted voices get mixed in around 1:30, and are swept away after at 2:00. Watch out DJs, after the track ends a clip plays that uses the F word.
9. Springtide (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Begins with a great bass riff, and then climbs high in giant climbing spirals. Optimistic, crashing sounds.
10. Miro Belle (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - A perfect track for rolling credits. Put on headphones to get the stereo effects, and interesting touch of record crackle.
11. Mincemeat or Tenspeed (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - This is what it would sound like if a rusting robot army made dance music. A exploration of complex sonic textures that can be used in so many ways, even a DIY Vitamin water lesson.
12. Salto Koji (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - More sound collage than song. Minimal and sculptural based in infinite loops.
13. Pariah Carey (website, CC BY-SA) - A soundtrack for post-apocalyptic raves held in the cloud.
