Picture yourself wake-boarding in the asteroid belt in the 60’s and you’ll see the mood I was going for. The song is called Space Surfer.

It’s Creative Commons as well.

All are free to use under the Creative Commons licence (Attribution, Non-Commercial). All are meant as background music for video, podcasts, etc.

Around the Corner is a sort of generic pop sounding one, but with a slightly different chord progression than you’d normally expect in this kind of thing.

Strolling Through Scarborough is a little jazz ditty written originally for Mark Blevis for use in the Rock Stars of Reading video project for Just One More Book, and also since featured from time to time in Scarborough Dude’s extremely fine DicksnJane podcast.

The last piece Lullaby is a work in progress; the guitar part is done (and is what you get here, so it works as a three verse loop), and I have words written, but have yet to lay down a vocal track that I’m happy with. Someday soon, I hope.
