Recent Tracks by Jake Hartnell

These are some things I've been composing and working on in my spare time using just my guitar, my MacBook (and the pathetic microphone that comes with it [thank God for compressors]), and a midi-keyboard. I've preformed and engineered everything on these tracks and I think they sound pretty damn good considering my limited equipment. I'm looking to start producing bands soon, or perhaps doing sound editing in films.

The first is about my time in the Amazon Rain Forest. The second is about two lovers dancing in a zero gravity ballroom; one about to be crushed, the other about to do the crushing. Or that's the gist of it.

Did I ever mention I had a website? Probably because I've been neglecting this blog while building it! www.JakeHartnell.com. Yes! I am the only one!

We come in at about 1:23.30. (I say "we" but I actually 3,000 miles away).
