I’ve added some Original Music Tracks to the website well…because it seemed like a good idea at the time.   Time will tell if that idea holds up.

Lorem


Welcome to the world of The Swingin’ Capybaras. It’s an unusual place with an unusual point of view. The Gift Shop? It’s great. The Food Court? Not so much. But  Parking is free… so there’s that.


A little background might be in order. For years now, creating original music has been a source of great enjoyment and a thorn  in my side. Sometimes…all at the same time. Is the music any good? That’s for ears greater than mine to decide.



These tracks are by The Swingin’ Capybaras. The Capybaras are a snappy little combo that primarily   consists of yours truly. It’s a party of one.


 In fact, since the start, the band has always consisted of yours truly. I’ve been in bands before -  and loved it . But   at the end of the day, this lineup moves things along a little faster. There’s also a lot less grumbling.


Sure, it’s a bit solitary but it does come with some upsides. There’s not as many “creative differences”, you don’t have to keep firing bass players and you never, ever have to wait around for everyone to show up on time for rehearsal.



It’s like a Win-Win for everyone on every count.



In any event, what we have here is a bunch of Swingin’ Capybaras instrumentals that give you a sense of what 

the band is about. And just what IS it about?


It’s about ideas, creativity, freedom, integrity and any other high falutin’ adjective you care to throw in there. The only one we didn’t add in was: ‘making money’.



You’re here. We’re here. Give us a shot. The tracks are pretty unique, pretty much ‘out there’ and pretty hard to classify. More importantly, they’re pretty short.



We like to get to the point and then get out before the trouble starts. Depending on your musical tastes and tolerances, you might just thank us for our brevity.

As you listen, just keep telling that to yourself it’s not the destination that counts…it’s the journey. Not sure what it means but it’ll give you something to think about as you navigate this musical adventure.



Now sit back. Relax. Clear your head. And enjoy the fact that this is provided at no extra cost - so you have nothing to lose.  And just maybe… something to gain.

And just remember, no matter what you think of the music, you can rest easy knowing that no singers were harmed in the making of these tracks. Not every band can say that.



 It’s time to click ‘play'….if you dare.

In my spare time, I dabble in Animated Abstract Art. It’s a curious hobby, but it gives one something quiet to do at 3am. When you have neighbors, that’s a  very good thing.


Here are a few samples of what you can do when your brain is working  overtime and  sleep is just a dream.

“SkullDuggery”

I included this page as means to offer other examples of my work outside of the television promo and production worlds. 


Admittedly, this is not everyone’s cup of tea. However,  it is something a little different. I enjoyed creating them and I hope you enjoyed taking them out for a spin.

“What’s A Little Dispersion… Among Friends?”

All of these pieces were created under my Abstract Artist Nom de Plume - Monte Burke.  They were designed and animated using Amberlight Software. Each was then composited in Apple Motion.

“Discombobulexity”

The soundtracks were written and performed by my musical side project ‘The Swingin’ Capybaras’.

“It’s Art. Until The Electricity Runs Out”.

 It’s very much 3am music. This was the portion of the project the neighbors were a little less excited about.  That’s not really a good time to introduce folks to new and annoying soundtracks at loud volumes.

You can  never be sure how these things are going to turn out once you start them.  However, from time to time, it’s a pleasant surprise when the rendered results pop out at the end.   And…as they say somewhere in France “Vive la Happy Accident!”.
