Raw, unfinished, and minimally produced instrumental tracks from the Pacific Northwest — real music, played by real players. No sampling robots 'round here.
Flawed perfection, freshly pressed and often updated.
These raw, unfinished and minimally produced tracks bring a distinctive air to your project — the kind that only comes from real music performed by real players. No sampling robots 'round here.
Tracks have been used for big-box advertisers, independent films, bumpers, games, and idea starters for other musicians. Whatever the musical cause, it works here. Need a track with a little more shine? That can be arranged too.
Most of the tracks are all instruments by one hand. Friends, family, and global virtual collaborators jump in when the moment calls for it.
Inspired by hikes, climbs, ferry rides, and coffee shop wisdom in the quirky Pacific Northwest neighborhood that's home. Rich with inspiration eight days a week.
The days of shredding tracks brimming over the top are mostly a memory. These are open and airy tracks captured in a slow-hand style. Every now and then a flourish sneaks in for a quick energy burst. Naps are okay here.
Cherry-picked sample tracks from the full-on Demolition Crew sessions. John, Jerry, Dave, DY and Danny.
The AI era is reshaping every creative industry, and nowhere more dramatically than in music production. Digging into what it all means and how to thrive in the disruptions.
