Two pieces I wrote for the TV show Dead Like Me. The YouTube is how they were cut into the show. The SoundCloud links are the actual tracks.

Guitars are Telecasters.
Bass is my Dano Longhorn 6SB.

Recorded and mixed in one night my home studio in Encino CA. Sent the tracks to Canada the next day to be cut in.

Good stuff Chris. I used to like that show but it was canceled after a couple of seasons.

I'm curious. What sort of direction do you receive when you get a commission like that? Do they give you a blank canvas or do they say they want a "driving rock guitar" or whatever?

The producer called me and asked if I had any Who sounding stuff. But ruff, not polished. I lied and said yeah. Then I went home and banged three tracks out. They used two of them.

Great stuff, love the tracks.

This is the one they didn't use. FWIW it's my favorite of the three. Go figure. LoL

I really like this one too. Maybe they felt it didn't sit in the background enough for the particular scenes. Whooo knows, lol.

My producer friend said it was more Lover Of The Bayou Byrds than the Who. Which it kinda is...

Whatever. I got paid. LoL

That's awesome, Chris! Congrats!

Most of the things I had placed were to sub for songs from a temp dub. In Outer Limits I replaced a Moby track that was too expensive to clear. In Stargate SG-1, it was Jimmie Vaughan instrumentals.
