Tim's podcast

I recorded an announcement at the Munich train station. I have no idea what the guy is saying; I'm sure it is something about a train from somewhere is arriving or a train to somewhere is departing. Anyway, I decided to put the thing to music.
Enjoy!

Built this podcast off of a live presentation that I did back in March.

My third podcast for the Technology Integration in Education website. This episode is about the 4 C's of 21st Century Learning: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

Found this song I started a long time ago in my old data files and gave it a listen... Then I decided it was actually ready to go. Enjoy!

This one rocks even more than the first long Latin jam. More pianos and guitars over the rhythm section. Enjoy!

This is an extra extended jam from one of the evenings in the village. The peace of the place infected the work. Enjoy!

Second in the funk trilogy that came out of my nights of fish, raki, and love in Boz Koy. Once the house is built in the village, there will be thousands of jam sessions from that place. Enjoy!

Another in the series of musical explorations that came out of my days in Boz Koy, Karaburun, Turkey. The village is so peaceful and quiet, you can hear yourself think and the music flows to you in dreams. Enjoy!

During the second night in Boz Koy we got into some Reggae jamming and here is the first in that series. Enjoy!

Second in the jams that came out of the holiday adventure in Turkey.

We went to Boz Koy, Karaburun, Turkey for part of our summer holiday and several jam sessions came out of the trip. This is the first in the Boz Koy Jams. Enjoy!

Our vacation to Cairo. Created with iMovie and GarageBand. Enjoy!

A little movie I threw together about my duty at school during lunch time. Created with iMovie and GarageBand. Enjoy!

This is a jazz tune that I composed and performed "live" with GarageBand. It was a long time since the last tune was released, so this is an attempt to get back in the groove. Enjoy!

This time in GarageBand I played with ducking to make tracks lead or be in the background. I used some of the World Jam Pack for the Africa and Latin drums and bass. Enjoy!

This is a podcast based off a presentation I did at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong, 2011.
Enjoy!

Karaburun is a small village near Izmir, Turkey. We own a small piece of land there and hope to build a house in the future. This song is about that place.
Enjoy1

A recent trip to Singapore spawned this tune. It carries the ethnic flavors of the city state with in. Enjoy!

Raki is a hard alcohol drank in Turkey and Izmir is the best city in the world. Put them together and you have an unstoppable force.
Enjoy!

Final version of the series. I hope you enjoy!

The third in the Dream Team Theme series. Each one has its own unique taste, but which do you prefer?
Enjoy!

This is the second version of the Dream Team Theme. Please refer to the previous episode for the background story on this series of four songs.
Enjoy!

A friend (@intrepidteacher) referred to the Korea International School Tech Team as the Dream Team once in a blog post. Later @stevekatz (member of the team) came up with an idea for a promo video for the tech team, but he needed some theme music for the video. I came up with four versions and this is number 1.
Enjoy!

p.s. I'm @tsbray on Twitter.

We had a Spanish festival at our school the other day that included a professional Tango show. The music inspired me! I took the tango piano in GarageBand and put a beat-box bass to it. Enjoy!

Some funk for your soul straight out of Seoul. Enjoy!

The title explains the tune perfectly. I used the World Music jam pack to mix African drums with Brazilian guitars. Enjoy!

This song was a remix of a previous song that was popular and I added some new loops from the Remix and Rhythm Section Jam Packs. Enjoy!

I experimented with the Apple Jam Pack: Rhythm Section & Remix Tools to come up with this tune. Enjoy!

I've been playing around with Reggae music and different ethnic music from various cultures. This on focuses on Turkish music with normal Reggae. Enjoy!

Used the World Music Jam pack to make an authentic sounding Turkish folk song. Enjoy!

Some reggae rhythm with a Japanese instrument thrown in over the top. Sounds eerie and mellow. Enjoy!

I blended the music of several cultures to end up with this one -- Chinese, Jamaican, Egyptian, and Indian. Enjoy!

Back to the usual playing around with reggae music. Enjoy!

Usually I don't play with country music, but last summer my Grandma died and it reminded me of my roots, so in honor of my Grandpa & Grandma, who are both now gone, here is a country tune with some rockabilly vibes. Enjoy!

Techno tune with heavy synth and dark moods to get your weekend started early. Enjoy!

An island style jam session. Enjoy!

I went simple on this one, only two instruments, but the bongo is so darn cool it more than makes up for the limited number of elements. Enjoy!

It has been a while since the last post and life is just a little crazy these days, but I threw together a little rock number with a mandolin and a slide guitar for an usual sound. Enjoy!

Tune from my GarageBand playing around. Enjoy!

Little reggae tune that I threw together with GarageBand. Enjoy!

Playing with the new Jam Packs I received. This one features a trance/techno beat with a pan flute, piano, and tango style guitar. Weird, but I think it worked.

A jazz tune with sax, piano, guitar, bass, and a drum kit. Smooth and simple. Enjoy!

New funk tune! The job is really cutting in to my creative time, but I hope to get some more new tunes up during the vacation. Enjoy the funk!

It has been difficult to upload lately due to job problems, but I promise the tunes will become more regular now. Thanks for your support and here is a techno tune. Enjoy!

I'm back! It was a long summer in Peru without my Mac, but now I'm back. Work was smoking for the first weeks of school, but I've finally had a chance to do some music. This is the first song with '09 GarageBand, so let me know what you think. Thanks for the support! Enjoy!

Another jazz tune with clips from Malcolm X speeches in the song. Enjoy!

A long reggae jam session. Enjoy!

Some good old fashion funk to get your booty shaking on the weekend! Enjoy!

Reggae tune with a blues style lyrics and singing. Enjoy!

I used some clips of Malcolm's speeches to have a jam session with him. I hope Rush Limbaugh, the turd smoker, somehow ends up hearing this song and it causes his head to explode.

Another tune thrown together with passion for funk. Enjoy!

One of the first experiments with voices and reggae that I finally got around to posting up. Enjoy!

Here is a drum circle inspired by the good old fashioned drum circles that used to exist outside of Grateful Dead and Phish concerts. Enjoy!

Odd vocals in the background and odd sounding piano and organ effects played over a driving beat.

another techno tune to keep you moving. Enjoy!

The name says it all!

Miles Davis started Dobop Jazz (the combination of Jazz, Rap, and Hip Hop) just before his death; in that tradition, I made Beatbox Jazz. It includes a beatbox rhythm section with traditional Jazz instruments. Enjoy!

Indian music mixed with reggae bass. Curry flavored reggae!

A techno tune with a female voice track. Enjoy!

I finally got a copy of Jam Packs: Vocals, so this song is my first reggae tune with a singer. Enjoy!

The Latin rhythm section meets the haunting sounds of a Hawaii style pedal guitar.

More cross genre experiments, this one is a Latin rhythm section and a blues harmonica lead.

Funk horn section mixed in with a Reggae bass section.

Another reggae tune but with a sitar for a odd and mysterious sounding twist.

A little deep, nasty, ripping blues for you.

Poem written on a trip to Saipan.

This is a little tune I whipped up while waiting for the plane to Korea.

Poem I recently wrote. It was inspired by a movie I watched, or a book I read, or something.

Just another little tune I constructed with GarageBand.

More of my island inspired music.

Odd sounds from the sitar with a soul piano.

Something heavy from your head.

Latin song I made.

One of the first songs I made, but I still find the sound interesting.

After making this one, I couldn't help but think of the band Blues Traveler.

More mellow jams from me.

I've been making my own music and I wanted to share it.

This is story in the oral tradition about how I killed a deer with my bare hands in my home state of Montana.

This is a poetry reading I did of some original pieces that I wrote.
