🎸Advanced Funkification🎸 Out Today!

The Portly Politico2 Comments

Hi Readers,

My latest album, Advanced Funkification, a collection of funk and funk-adjacent tunes, is out today. It’s my grooviest release yet, and it explores the boundaries of funk in intriguing and cool ways.

Pick it up for just $5, and you’ll not only get eight funky tracks, but full scores of each piece; MP4 videos; and original artwork. You can find it here: https://tjcookmusic.bandcamp.com/album/advanced-funkification

Time to enroll in Advanced Funkification!

The album is also out on Apple Music and YouTube, as well as other streaming services (except for Spotify).  I’ll post direct links in the comments as soon as I get them.

I have had a blast releasing tons of instrumental music this year, but I think this release is my best this year.  Let me know what you think!

Funkily Yours,

TPP

Open Mic Adventures LXXXII: “Brown Friar”

The Portly PoliticoLeave a comment

Well, just like with Lazy Sunday, I was off on my Roman numeral numbering for Open Mic Adventures.  Fortunately, it’s just by one, but I made the mistake somewhere around the fortieth-odd post, so, like with Lazy Sunday, I’m just going to start the correct numbering back with this post.  As such, there’ll be two posts with “LXXXII” in their titles, but the list of “Other Editions of Open Mic Adventures” below has been corrected.  Goodness!

Regardless, today’s track is from my seventeenth album, Four Mages—the last one I have yet to feature here.  It is a collection of ten electronic tracks, all but one of which (“The Blind Prophet“) is color-coded. Each piece explores some facet of fantasy archetypes, weaving and casting a musical spell upon listeners.

Here are some platforms where you can listen:

I really enjoy this album, and I hope you will, too.  It’s about fourteen minutes in length, so it’s perfect listening for doing a short errand or for a quick drive.

Today is Bandcamp Friday!  That means Bandcamp waives their share of any purchases made on my Bandcamp page today (Friday, 3 May 2024), so it’s the best possible time to buy my music if you want to support yours portly.

Yesterday I released my seventeenth Bandcamp album, Four Mages.  It is a collection of ten electronic tracks, all but one of which (“The Blind Prophet“) is color-coded. Each piece explores some facet of fantasy archetypes, weaving and casting a musical spell upon listeners.

Here are some platforms where you can listen:

Four Mages is just $5 on Bandcamp, and most of that goes to me today.

For those looking for the cheapest, easy way to listen, here’s a YouTube playlist:
