Songlets in Music Composition

Many times during my songwriting process, I come up with catchy 15-30 second songs. They can be as meaningful as the telling of a short story and as simple as a one line phrase.


Sometimes when I record these phrases, I get stuck and the song does not grow any further. I attribute this to writer's block, laziness and honestly sometimes I can get my musical point across pretty quickly. Ever since I started recording these mini-songs, I started collecting a library of catchy little soundbites... Hence my creation of the... *drumroll please*


Songlets


These mini songs are great for licensing opportunities for commercial spots, sizzle reels, motion graphics, and samples for other artists.


At first I thought this was a crazy idea, but I think it makes sense! What do you think???


Do you ever get your point across in 30 seconds or less???
