Composer/Producer T.C. Crosser is the gregarious creator of many instrumental works (some you know and most you don't), a rock band producer (of some you know and most you don't). Welcome! Enjoy! Shenanigans will ensue!
Yeah. This is just a ramble ramble. I was having a hell of a day and so this was my therapy and now I impart this to you as well. Enjoy! twitter / instagram / soundcloud: tccrosser www.charlieinfinite.com
I recorded at Bunker Studios earlier this week and I'm still trucking through Episode 3. I realize my last podcast was a bit too stonerific so I try and clarify a couple of things in finishing Episode 3 and what I'll do with Episodes 1 - 3 into one Penultimate Episode! twitter / instagram / soundcloud: tccrosser www.charlieinfinite.com
I'm so stoned in this one. Not gonna lie. This is more for me than it is you. But the critiques were real and insightful! twitter / instagram / soundcloud: tccrosser www.charlieinfinite.com

I talk about the process of getting through my first live reading of Episode 1 for www.charlieinfinite.com, what's in store for Episode 2 and 3, and just some ramblings because why not?

It's been awhile but I'm back, I'm vaccinated, and I'm ready to discover me! Rambly but I discuss my latest project: www.charlieinfinite.com Yee haw!
I'm BAAAAACK! Not sure for how long. But here I be. In this episode I talk about the new DOULBE album (two for one, yo!) and I break down one of the songs from start to finish!
Oh get ready for a real rambler of an episode! I dive into a bit of a creative hole / depression episode I had and how I got out of it. AND I'm on the piano while I try talking. Man. I'm so out of practice. Enjoy!
In this one I share a couple of new template tracks for the upcoming album. I talk about my overall workflow and what the journey to the now. And I discuss having a couple of manic / nervous breakdowns along the way and how I got out of them. Enjoy!
It's been awhile! Let's get meta-physical! I talk about the post mortem on "The Book of Arius - Act I". I talk about what I'm presently working on. And I talk about what the future has in store for us. It's a bit of a free-form stream of consciousness episode so buckle up and enjoy the ride!
We take a look back at what "The Book of Arius" was and we look ahead to what it will be. Plus storytelling and sailor talk!
In this episode I breakout and breakthrough what "The Book of Arius" is all about. I promise I calm down about the recording session from hell. And I talk about a mature true mid life crisis and what it means to be a creative at 35.
It will go down as the worst recording session in history. I breakout my harrowing experiencing at a recording studio in Buschwick. Learn from my mistakes people! But at the very least you can listen and have a good laugh with me!
In this incredibly special TWO PART episode I interview my Music Supervisor, Caleigh Drane. She's an amazing cellist (Ra Ra Riot, Imogen Heap, T.C. Crosser hehe), composer, music contractor, music supervisor... What doesn't this captivating human do? In this Part Two (of two) we dig more into the ten years of friendship leading up to her title as Music Supervisor.

In this Part One (of two) we dig more into the ten years of friendship leading up to her title as Music Supervisor.
In this special first (of hopefully many) episodes I break out a typical day behind the scenes of a composition. We pull some segments apart. We fiddle with some melody lines. And finally we share how it progressed. Plus breaks. Lots of breaks!
Let's see how confusing I can make this! I talk about setting up for my String Quartet recording sesh, drafting ideas for the score of Segment 02 to The Book of Arius, SoundCloud woes, and how to get a side bitch.
Okay. Let's back up the train just a minute. There's been 17 previous episodes of audio bliss and in this episode I take a moment while procrastinating to talk about how we got here, where we're heading, and probably not why.
It's the super technical how to episode I KNOW you were all waiting for. I start off with not so boring discussions about steps and the evolution of "The Book of Arius". And then for the remaining HOUR, lol, I get into how I make my finale notation software communicate with my Logic Pro X session and my East West Symphonic Strings Audio Units. Yeah. Lots of fun!
It's the soundtrack to our lives, baby! I revamp the format and in this episode have a nice show and tell session of what goes in and constitutes a "first pass" of music before presenting to my Music Supervisor!
I talk about almost becoming (or maybe I already am) an internet troll; the motivations behind The Book of Arius' darkest moments; and the current production workflow for the project as a whole. Oh it's a shorter episode too so you'll probably prefer that!
And I've come back from my depression, my writer's block, and a very racist West Virginia vacation! I start to break out my latest project, what it means for all other projects, and (as always) what the big ole process is. From work management to emotional narrative development to non-boring stuff (I promise) to lots of me taking breaks....
Another day of writer's block means another new episode of the Making Sparkles podcast! In this episode I loop back around with the Triology Ultimate, I share some story time about being in my twenties, and I share a little pilot snipit I created.
I'm back from my hiatus! In this episode I get down with "And The INFINITE", I pull about all the various iterations of a single song and how I got to where I am with it, and I ramble. But I always ramble and you love me for that! Right?
I'm baaaaack! In this episode we talk about holding auditions, saying goodbye to talent, and some new work to hear!
In this podcast episode we discuss racist grandmothers, writing track 2 for "Sparkle Pony Bear", and a bunch of ramblings that I still need to unpack in my own head. Maybe you can tell me what it means to you?
You've crafted with meticulous labor your child to a point where you go "what's next?". Whelp. In this episode I use my own examples and experiences to help break out the process of submitting your work, what's expected, and who you should be submitting to in the first place. As always... Crispy Crispy Taco!
Hold up, Whoopi Goldberg! T.C. is in da house! On this episode I release the final draft of "Thanks For Everything", I map out some of the tricks and ways re-created this track, and I plow through life events like a drunken Irishman designing San Francisco's city streets. As always. Crispy crispy taco!
Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! In this episode we discuss the opening number "Thanks For Everything" and the ability to let your work go. I also bitch about actors and singers. So there's that fun time!
It's an all talkie podcast episode! I just got back from a week-long Hawaiian vacation and fully charged to talk about creating your demo/producer's package for what you have so far! You'll also hear me hashing out aspects of "Sparkle Pony Bear" as well as a couple of anecdotes from my checkered past. Enjoy!
In this very special Rock Out With Your Cock Out episode I completely overhaul and show you what I did to "Thanks for Everything". I also ramble about hot dogs, instagram's new snapchat, and a whole lotta swearing!
On this joyous episode T.C. Crosser breaks out how he edits and produces the very first demo takes of songs using the opening song "Thanks for Everything" sung by the amazing Devin Ilaw!
I decided to make an episode that is just a reading of everything I have for Sparkle Pony Bear so far. Think of it as an apology for how boring Episode 2 was/is (like If/Then only makes more sense!).
It's a shorter episode. It's a spring cleaning episode. It's EPISODE PART DEUX! T.C. Crosser explains the wonderfully boring tasks of getting organized and getting started before you make all that musical magic!
Welcome to my inaugural episode of "Making Sparkles: Making The Musical Sparkle Pony Bear". In this episode I give a crash course introduction of how the podcast is going to "flow" (like Salt N' Peppa flow, y'all!) and share a couple of the tracks and what nots of my new and yet to be written musical "Sparkle Pony Bear"!
