Christopher Tallon the Music Maker

Christopher Tallon

I’ve been playing music since the 1900s. Started on the cello when I was in the fifth grade. The next year I switched to percussion. Soon after, I started playing drums in bands all through middle school and into high school. Towards the end of my teen years I picked up guitar. Now, many years later, I can play a handful instruments. I use these skills to help people with their creative pursuits.

The Music

Here are a few projects I’ve done for other people, followed by some of the stuff I use for my podcast.

Theme Music

I made the song for TRBM, which stands for The Reluctant Book Marketer, a podcast for authors who are trying to get their books into more readers hands. This fun little song is the theme music for the show:

I made the song for the upcoming web series Black Don’t Crack. I was asked to make “something that has a Mr. Rogers theme song meets Will Smith. This was the result:

“Trippy Slow” is one I made by request for an episode of A Talk In The Attic in which people do drugs and go to a music festival. This song marks the moment when the acid kicks in:

This song is for The Gig Economy Podcast. They asked for a little over a minute long that really rocked. The first demo I sent them didn’t rock enough, so I sent them this:

Original Music (A Podcast for Creative People)

A Podcast for Creative People Soundtrack

The current intro music. It’s called “Garage Song” because it was the first song I made in my garage office space.

Theme/Intro Song from when the show was called Creative Ops. That’s my voice, I swear. I adjusted the sound of it.

“Break” is a song I made for my wife and promised not to sell to anyone, haha. So I use it on my show. It’s a nice relaxing song, don’t you think?

“Lo-Fi Childhood” is an old guitar riff that I decided to turn into a lofi song:

“Fun Song” is exactly that. I made it in a very short amount of time:

“Wibblie” has a weird guitar solo:

“Easy Step Down” is a fun one to play. Takes some pinky strength, believe it or not.

“Hoopty” is a fun guitar laced hip hop beat.

“Little Jazz Number” is the most aptly named song on this page.

“Oddly Normal” makes me want to dance weird in the kitchen.

“Off to a Shaky Start” has something like 4 guitar tracks all going at once.

“Something Or Other” sounds like it came from a horror video game soundtrack.

“Thick Gravy” is a weird song. I made it very very quickly.

“Whozeewhatsit” sounds like something you might hear between programs on NPR on the weekend when they’re trying to sound cool. (“Coming up on the next MOTH Story Hour…”)
