Terry Burkes Music


Sound Design - Background Loops (websites) These music and soundscape loops, were created to fit the personality of specific websites. Most contain at least 10 highly customized tracks utilizing copyright free sound clips. For warmth and grounding, I chose a lot of traditional sounding instruments from around the world, and old school jazz & funk riffs, jungle and weather sounds, as well as subtle syth textures. Genres are gleefully toyed with. I have often changed or created melodies. . Terry Burkes © 2006 - 2007
Sound Design - Narrative (story line) Appropriate for movies, TV and interactive gaming. These crime/drama background music samples were created to elicit different moods, yet share a common theme. The primary melodies and compositions are my creation. The percussion and electric guitar riffs and some sound effects, were stock library items that I heavily modified. All samples contain at least 10 highly customized tracks. Terry Burkes © 2006 - 2007
Sound Design - Classical Composition (original scores) These section is a digital testing ground for my large original scores, where I write every single note. Digital instruments are used for testing, but this music is meant to eventually be played by live instruments. I have no plans to put a lot of work into making these tests sound good. I'm just sharing my vision thang. The first piece is a Spanish influenced number using digital guitars, pianos and orchestral strings (in progress) . Terry Burkes © 2006 - 2007
