Tom Rupolo and the Background Music System

This is a happy little mid-tempo instrumental chill-out tune

Jazzy Beats

This is one of my more uptempo tracks featuring lots of wah-wah guitar, electric pianos, and analog synth melodies. It borrows heavily from Herbie Hancock's version but sounds a bit like Beck in his Mellow Gold days.

Cover Songs

This song starts with an well known sample but soon develops into a funky little tune with a groovy bass line, some slinky electric piano and a tasty Hammond organ riff and solo.

Funk

A soothing slow-tempo song with a Latin beat.

Reggaeton

This slightly uptempo song - at least for me - has a prominent acoustic guitar track, a bouncy bass line and spacey keyboards.

Trip Hop

This groovy song opens with a prominent bass line, then introduces numerous mellow analog synth textures.

Pop

This is what you get when you combine a funky breakbeat, four chunky chords and an old exercise record.

Breakbeat

Anchored by a solid bass line, a sunny acoustic guitar and a groovy drum track, this happy tune is one my more commercial tunes.

Pop

This is an evocative piece that features a subdued hip-hop drum track along with layers of spacey synth pads.

Beats General

Analog synths are heard in abundance, and paired with a hip-hop breakbeat in this upbeat piece.

Pop

This moody piano-based song evokes the melancholy atmosphere that Autumn always brings.

Jazzy Beats

A repetitive analog synth melody combined with a legato bass line provides a harmonic counterpoint.

Beats with Hooks

This was an experiment initially. I wanted to compare the piano sounds on a variety of keyboards I had at the time. There has to be at least a half dozen different piano parts on this.

Beats with Hooks

A funky beakbeat opens this short song and is soon joined by a repeated groovy Hammond organ riff.

Pop

A lone acoustic guitar track opens this song and each go-around adds more instruments, building into a happy and catchy little ditty.
