Jingle Video Blog #99: Fiddle Jam 2010

Yesterday was a HUGE day at Jingle Punks. First off we got new shirts. Yes. They are rad and everyone is bugging us for one. If you need or want one, just blog something nice about us and send proof… we’ll make sure a shirt finds you.

After the shirts arrived we had a real actual girl in our offices. This was so exciting that it was like the equivalent of putting a female ape in the cage at the zoo with the all male primates. As you can see by the devilish grins on our faces this was exciting indeed. It worked out great because Sarah, the girl who came by to drop off music, just so happened to be a world class violin player and was cool enough to jump in on a project for us that needed fiddle skills. Watch below to see the madness unfold.

Jingle Punks likes to get involved in a good cause every now and then. If this cause involves forming a rad drum circle and jamming like we are at a Dead show in 1975…even better.

To learn about why we did this…go here.

Get your crunchy groove on the video below. We assure you, this was for a good reason.

Its a Mad Mad Mad House

Over the holidays, Jingle Punks did music for a new History Channel show called Madhouse. We were asked to make a new master of “One Piece at a Time” by Johnny Cash and because we were all on vacation when the request came in we used several studios, locations and artists to make this happen.

Here is a breakdown of how the process for this worked.

Step 1: I produced the basic track for the network to approve. For this I used my portable logic studio using Logic and the Apogee One. During this round I played all the instruments and put in temp vocals.

Step 2: Revisions to the instrumentation and vocals were requested and the track tempo was adjusted to fit the picture.

Step 3: Reach out to one of our Jingle Punks Artists to step in as vocals on this track.

When all was said and done the final track production was as follows. I played acoustic and bass guitar and drums, Matt Chambless played electric guitar, Jeff Peters played the washboard and James Mason was the star of this on vocals.
