I’m excited to partner with Brian Funk’s Music Production Club for the October 2024 edition of their “Monthly Music Mission”!
For this month’s challenge, songwriters will use the 7 of Hearts from the Troubadeck for inspiration:
This card is especially special for Brian: it’s inspired by his late, great dog Vera (hence the name “PerseVERAnce”). I thought it would be fun to illustrate Vera and include her in the deck, as a thank you to Brian for helping spread the word about the Troubadeck on his podcast.
MIDI & Tracks
If you’d like a starting point for your music, I’ve prepared 10 different styles of backing tracks that you’re free to sample and remix, as well as simple block-chord MIDI files:
It will ask for your email address, so you can be notified about the next Troubadeck Kickstarter, a reprint of the chords deck and a lyrics inspiration deck! You can unsubscribe any time, of course.
I would also love to hear how you might use the Troubadeck and expansions in this quick survey.
Share your songs
I can’t wait to hear what you come up with! Tag @troubadeck if you post your creation on Instagram.
Thanks again to Brian Funk for incorporating the Troubadeck into the Monthly Music Mission!
