FAQ
Why would I need a license?
A license is needed if you want to use the music for anything else than just listening for your pleasure. Typical uses are
- freestyling over a beat
- licensing music for use in TV or for a movie
- remixing or use audio samples
What are the license options and what are the differences between those?
We offer up to 5 license templates (Basic, Premium, Track Out, Unlimited, Exclusive) and it's up to the artist which ones he/she wants to make available. Each license comes with different perks. In general, the higher the price, the better the perks.
You can click on each feature on the left side of the comparison chart above to learn more about each one.

When will I get the track I purchased?
You can download all related files immediately after your purchase. We also email you a one-time download link for a download later.
How can I remove the audio tag from the track?
A "tagged beat" is a demonstration version of an instrumental that contains distinct audio watermarks that typically play throughout the entire track. The purpose of a producer tagging his/her instrumental is to prevent piracy and to encourage serious recording artists to purchase a license.
To get a tag-free audio please make sure you purchase a license which features "untagged audio".

I purchased a $1 download, why is the beat still tagged?

To license a beat without audio tag and to use in a professional manner please buy a license from this page. Usually those are $25 and up.

What is a stem / trackout file?
A Stem file is an audio file that contains a track split into several musical elements: A drums stem, a bassline stem, a harmony stem, and a lead stem for example.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
Why would I need a stem / trackout file?
A trackout file gives you much better control. Imagine you rap over a beat and you realize the percussions take the focus away from your vocals. With a trackout file
you can simply tone down the percussion and the focus is now on the vocals. With a trackout file you have much more flexibility and a whole different level of control.
The time has come to say no to twelve tone equal. Ask Ivor Darreg. He knows.
This project is, among other things, an argument for the further exploration of microtonal/xenharmonic tunings by more musicians. If you find this argument compelling or completely repulsive, please let me know.
This project is also a response to the recognized need for more examples available on the internet, for the curious. The curious will never hope to get anywhere without trying out their ears.
Band/artist history
I was born on April 8, 1985. I began composing around '90, discovered The Rite of Spring around '99, and discovered the modern microtonal movement around '03. I graduated from Rice in '07 and will attend School for Designing Society in the fall, connecting microtones with radical social change etc.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
This is a recording-based project: most of the pieces exist more as recordings than as performances. It is a creative sandbox of sorts, and the quantity varies. When I get some recordings I'm really proud of, I'll probably put them somewhere else. When I finally get around to becoming a competent performer, I'll probably start a different page.
Your musical influences
Microtonalists I enjoy: Hayden Chisholm, Catler Bros, Gerard Grisey, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Harry Partch, Bill Sethares, Prent Rodgers, Mats Öljare. Normal people: Stravinsky, György Ligeti, Olivier Messiaen, Poulenc, Lutoslowski, Rzewski, Nancarrow, Lois V Vierk,
What equipment do you use?
iMac. Alesis QS8, E-mu Proteus augmented by the power of Scala. VoiceTweaker microtonalable autotuner. Otonal organ. 31-tone bassoon after Johnny Reinhard. Udderbot. Kalimba. Autoharp. Harp. Musical saw.

Mr. J. Bart-
We meet again.
I'm going to write some stuff for Udderbot and Guitar and I expect you to do the same. So next time we meet we can put some music together (if not we just assemble it online!)
Also, I followed your lead and now I have a band page on hear: Castillo Trigueros... not very creative.
Anyways, if you're still in Houston next monday give me a call.
I dig your stuff man! Keep it up!
Great songs, nice polished sound. The musicianship is outstanding. You should rate me too. Check out my new track,"So what domestic".
Would I rather punch out George W. or Osama? (the ads around here...)
Don't expect too much of yourself. Because you know it isn't going to happen.
great job!
