TRACK OF THE MONTH / july 2021*
SummerFest
This month…Opening with playful piano notes, firecracker beats, and a sprightly horn melody is a perfect way to usher in the summertime. But the aptly titled "SummerFest" heats things up to another level once the uplifting and soulful vocals join the party. "SummerFest" has more flavorful layers than your favorite casserole at a backyard summer potluck.

TRACK OF THE MONTH / june 2021: El Caribe /
El Caribe: TRACK OF THE MONTH / june 2021*
This month…If you haven't traveled for a while, it's easy to fantasize about unwinding beneath the palm trees of a tropical paradise with "El Caribe" playing in the background. Bouncing on mid-tempo beats and a grooving bass line, this one is somehow both chill and energetic. The soothing instrumental melody and the slightly robotic vocals create an otherworldly ambience, while synth textures bubble up with the effervescence of a cold carbonated beverage.

Things We Like: Zupiter Online Modular Synthesizer /
Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert has created a free/donationware online modular synth called Zupiter that sounds great and is a lot of fun to mess around with. It includes all the basics you’d expect and can be controlled via your computer keyboard, the app’s programmable step sequencers, or externally via MIDI. You can even map your external controller’s knobs to the app’s virtual ones. While the site’s About page say, “Its interface is designed to be minimalistic and simple, so as not to put off beginners”, there is a bit of learning curve. Luckily, users can (and do) post their patches for others to load and play. It’s a great way to get your head around the interface or to hear what it can do. Check it out!
TRACK OF THE MONTH / may 2021: Dreambox /
Dreambox: TRACK OF THE MONTH / may 2021*
This month…"Dreambox" is a perfect song title for this hazy, ethereal track. It opens sounding like a dusty tape loop of a lo-fi recorded piano set to simple beats under a whistled melody. But this soon unfurls into a clear soundscape of sunny, uplifting notes and chords - an optimistic instrumental built on negative space.

TRACK OF THE MONTH / april 2021: No Going Back /
No Going Back: TRACK OF THE MONTH / april 2021*
This month…The opening organ notes bounce playfully, sounding like vintage vinyl before the beats strut into the mix with more modernized aplomb. But it's the subsequent layering of spirited sounds that give "No Going Back" its deeper dimensionality. An uplifting horn section, ethereal synthesizer tones, and cheerful backing vocals all do their part to turn a simple song into a radiant anthem.

TRACK OF THE MONTH / march 2021: The Art of Paper Cutting /
The Art of Paper Cutting: TRACK OF THE MONTH / march 2021*
This month…You'd be hard pressed to find another song that perfectly approximates the coming of spring. "The Art of Paper Cutting" opens with lilting piano notes that flutter around like butterfly wings as a sunny melody gradually emerges. The cello's deep timbre seeps into the song like tea before pitter patter rhythms give the tune its feet. But when a boomy kick drum joins the accompaniment, this all begins to feel like you're inside the soundtrack of a Wes Anderson film.

Check It Out: Spongebob, "Agua", and Music Orange /
Who says playing the penny whistle doesn’t pay off? One of Music Orange’s founders, Blaise Smith, just received an ASCAP award for the use of his SpongeBob Squarepants penny whistle sample in one of the year’s most played latin tracks, J. Balvin and Tainy’s “Agua.” Cue the penny whistle and turn up the volume.
In the Studio: New Philips Philicorda Organ (1967) /
Our new Philips Philicorda GM751 Organ arrived yesterday. Needed some light repairs due to shipping damage, but it’s working perfectly now and ready to record. This one was produced for the German market in 1967. Sounds (and looks) great!
TRACK OF THE MONTH / february 2021: Say 'Si' /
Say 'Si': TRACK OF THE MONTH / february 2021*
This month…Equal parts exotica and space age bachelor pad music, "Say 'Si'" saunters and sways with vintage vibes and tropical tiki tones. This handsome ditty dances on the coolness of Bossa Nova, the zaniness of Juan Garcia Esquivel, the martini shaker rhythms of Martin Denny, and the Cubano piano styles of Perez Prado

The Compound Effect: TRACK OF THE MONTH / january 2021*
This month…What’s immediately alluring about "The Compound Effect" is its cheerful vibe. The perky intro sets an enthusiastic tone with bubbling electro effervescence. Then the beats drop like balloons on New Year’s Eve and suddenly we’re surrounded by chirpy synthesizers, catchy rhythms, and uplifting melodies that all come together and radiate beams of good energy to carry us confidently into 2021.

TRACK OF THE MONTH / december 2020: Silent Night 2 /
Silent Night 2: TRACK OF THE MONTH / december 2020*
This month…This gorgeous instrumental rendition of "Silent Night" is a welcome respite from those familiar versions we grew up with. The bells, chimes, horns, and strings all swirl together to create an grandiose arrangement of gossamer beauty. But when the choir vocals chime in, this Holiday carol becomes even more ethereal.

Music Orange -> Expertly created original music for commercials and other advertising.
TRACK OF THE MONTH / november 2020*
Creepin'
This month…Creepin' is the perfect title for a tune with tiptoe rhythms, muted fingersnaps, and woodwinds being looped on a slightly warped strip of analog tape. With some endearingly dusty textures and a nostalgic nod to '90s hip-hop production, it's easy to imagine Digable Planets or A Tribe Called Quest rapping over these hushed beats.

Our Work: The Lincoln Project "Fairytale" /
Usually, Music Orange doesn't do politics. But when The Lincoln Project asked us to compose the music for this Ad, we decided there's no better time to change that.

TRACK OF THE MONTH / october 2020: Skyscraper /
Skyscraper: TRACK OF THE MONTH / october 2020*
This month…The opening bars of "Skyscraper" come out of nowhere, playing punchy riffs on an electric guitar. It's as energetic as 1990s pop punk - especially when the drums and bass join the party, with those stop-start dynamics that are indicative of the genre. But the melody here is more playful and bouncy than many of yesteryear's post grunge darlings. Add in a new wave synthesizer, some handclaps, and you've got a hit jingle that sounds like a hit single.
