Colonel Wieler,

I’m a huge fan of your music, especially the production quality and layers in your soundtracks. One Night of Roc was alright but I found the fake guitars a little fake (not that I could do better). I’ve recently wondered if you’ve ever tried other genres like dubstep, minimal tech/house, country, rap, or pop music? Soundtracks are great but it would be nice to hear what else you can do.

– Pop Rock

Firstly, I see what you did there with your signature.

Secondly, thanks for being a fan. I enjoy composing music. I enjoy it even more when someone else appreciates it.

I enjoy soundtracks primarily because creating emotionally evocative music that allows the listener to envision their own story is a powerful thing to me. Everyone should be their own hero. I think that is why most “pop songs” are about relationships – we’ve all had them and they’ve all gone good and bad. Having a common connection with your audience is marketable.

Let me quickly consult my pop music checklist here …

• basic 4/4 beat
• repetitive lyrics akin to children’s nursery rhymes
• fully voiced woman for the chorus
• very few chords employed so as to not confuse the performing musicians

Ok, I got it. I spent a few hours last night/this morning and have this for you. Listen for it on your local station hub channel.
