Instrumental Mind Control
In music, having a jaunty rhythm. The feeling is usually lively, happy and can make you feel good.
It’s been a while since I told my mom how much I appreciate her. I’ll be giving her a call on Sunday.
I made this song for Mother’s Day. Write a song for your mom this year.
Tempo: 95 bpm
A bright electric guitar and piano instrumental I call Umbrella.
There is a flanger effect on the hi-hats.
Thanks for listening and have fun!
Tempo: 89.30 bpm
So this time the acoustic guitar was provided by the band Rise Against.
Rise Against – Swing Life Away
I added a few things to it and this is what I came up with.
Hope you like!
Tempo: 85.25 bpm
I was messing around with filters again. Acoustic guitar by John Mayer.

I tried to turn it into hip hop. Synth lead in the hook.
Hope you like.

Here’s a little bit of old school noise for you. Well, not completely old school but that’s the feeling I get when I hear these pianos.
A slightly ambient synth chord and lead in the hook along with a smooth synth bass layered over a deep bass guitar.
3 different snares, 2 hihats, 1 kick.

Hope you enjoy!

Here’s a few old school good vibes for you. This is an instrumental with a good feeling. It’s brighter and a little faster.
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for listening

From The 90-95′s tape.
A very upbeat, lively piano instrumental. There are DJ scratches in the intro and hook. Congas throughout for some flavor.
There’s a very simple bass line that comes in when it’s ready.
Enjoy.
Tempo: 92 bpm
Happy Holidays!
Here’s an instrumental that feels happier than usual. You know how certain notes and that certain way of playing them can give a specific feeling? Well this one has a brighter, more optimistic feel to it!
I figured it’s that time of year again, so why not try to smile a little?
This is yet another piano beat with more strings and some hard hitting drums. There are a few synth instruments in there – one pad and one lead there in the back at various sections.
Instead of there being an intro in the beginning, the song comes right in starting with the first verse.
Enjoy!

Happy Cyber Monday 2012! Here’s my deal for you.
This is a piano beat with powerful strings that come in during the verse sections. The hook has a catchy synth lead backed up by the strings and a synth pad. There are chimes in the beginning and end of the song. I will admit, I’m not sure I’m feelin’ the snare drum too much, but the overall feel of the drums fits the melody I think. I could have layered the snare with another, but I decided not to!
The intro is quite similar to the Bonita instrumental, as the strings and a few chimes bring the song in.
I hope you find this useful. Enjoy.
P.S. The video is rather strange. You’ve been warned.
Tempo: 91 bpm
This beat is colorful, hence the name – Crayons.
Pianos, a guitar, a synth lead and a hyper snare drum. Enjoy.
Tempo: 145 bpm
This beat has a chopped up guitar sample as the main melody. The hook is simple and has a single string instrument in the back. There is not much to this beat other than the chops. There is a flute in there to spice things up. The drums change up throughout the beat, but mainly the kick drum and the hats. Watch the bass, the tone hits very low and may be a little heavy on your end. Enjoy.
Tempo: 86 bpm
From The Acoustics Compilation (Volume 1).
This beat is cool and chill. More acoustic guitars but this time the main guitar has been filtered. The drums may sound familiar as the break that was used is a very popular one. The drums were chopped and rearranged to fit this instrumental. You may hear another instrumental here that used the same break, just in a different way. Here’s version two!
Although the video is made from images of George Orwell‘s novel “Nineteen Eighty Four,” this instrumental and the title has nothing to do with the novel. It’s just a coincidence and I decided to use some images from the book.
Tempo: 100 bpm
