Christopher Tallon, Podcast Musician

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.

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 and I was pretty happy with it, considering I don’t play piano and had to individually chart each piano note by hand:

---

“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 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 and they loved it:

Original Music (Creative Ops)

CREATIVE OPS Soundtrack

Theme/Intro Song for 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” sounds to me like it could be a Chris Stapleton riff. Whatcha think?

---

“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 on NPR on the weekend in between programming.
