The 20,000-Hour Ear: Where Musical History Meets Modern Synthesis.
I am a musical archivist and producer dedicated to the "lost" sounds of the human experience. My work is built on a foundation of over 20 years of daily, obsessive study. I’ve spent four years meticulously analyzing and rating almost 15,000 archival recordings from 1890 to 1939, before that I spent fifteen years building out playlists by year and by genre and learned as much as I could about the music of the mid 1950's to the late 1990's.
This is Expert-Led Curation.
I use cutting-edge generative technology as a surgical tool, not a shortcut.
Every track on this channel is a product of Human Intent. I personally oversee every concept, lyric, genre-blend, and sonic texture to ensure that the "warmth" of the past isn't lost in the digital transition.

Genre-Bending Experiments
New sounds built from a mental library of 30,000+ songs.

Hey, what's up everybody?
Just giving you a heads up that I created a new playlist of my Klezmer tracks in case you were into them when I released them. More Klezmer instrumentals will be coming soon.

My song recommendation this week is a Piedmont Blues song from 1927 that I discovered while rating my way through the 1920's. The artist is Barbecue Bob, and the song is called Honey You Don't Know My Mind. I like a lot of his songs and I'm glad I came across his music. I really like the lines, "I got a handful of nickels, pocket full of dimes, house full of children ain't nair-one mine." I rated the song a 4 out of 5.

I'm going to start doing a Creeky Recommends post every Sunday. I'm not sure if anyone will interact with them but Youtube wants proof that I'm not just throwing up mass produced slop, so this is a way of letting them know that there is a person with tastes and discernment behind the channel. I've been back at it again on Rateyourmusic.com and have been rating my way through the genre of Digital Dancehall (Digital dancehall is a form of Dancehall music that emerged in the mid-1980s with the King Jammy-produced "Under Me Sleng Teng" by Wayne Smith. The main characteristic that makes it different from the first forms of dancehall is the rhythms are digital rather than having the traditional backing band. After the Sleng Teng hit digital dancehall became the standard style in dancehall, up until the early 1990s where the more hardcore style of Ragga took over.) and will be sharing a song that I rated a 4.5 out of 5, the aforementioned Under My Sleng Teng by Wayne Smith from 1985. I love the electronic riddim underneath the vocals, this is a top-notch example of the genre. I'm hoping this deep dive into the genre will tighten up my future Digital Dancehall and other Reggae genre projects.

This week's showcase was my attempt to make an authentic sounding early 1960's British Invasion Mod Rock song. I was just starting to figure out how to use Udio and rewrite Chat-GPT lyrics back when I made this in June of 2024. What do you think? Did I nail the sound and the style?

Alright folks, I give up and I'm going to post less often, it's not worth getting 10 views on some of my best work. I'm going to post 3 times a week from now on. The Udio instrumentals are kind of evergreen so I will be posting one of those a week. Let me know which day of the week I should post my showcase Suno song in the comments, I'm thinking Friday but I'm open to suggestions.

📢 Community Post: The Evolution of the Archive
A New Chapter: Introducing CreekyJarls Productions.
For a long time, I’ve shared my music here under a simple username that was my old gamertag. But as this channel grows, it’s time for the name to match the mission.
Most of you know me for the sounds I create, but few know the "why" behind them. This isn't just a hobby; it’s the result of a 20-year obsession with the history of recorded sound.
The Foundation:
Before I ever touched modern synthesis tools, I spent fifteen years deep diving into the evolution of music from the mid 1950's to the late 1990's, cataloging everything from the global hits to the most obscure, forgotten gems. I followed that by spending four years submerged in the past—rating and analyzing almost 15,000 archival recordings from 1890 to 1939.
The Mission:
CreekyJarls Productions is about using 21st-century technology as a surgical tool. I’m using my "20,000-hour ear" to synthesize that lifetime of research into new sounds—recreating the "un-recreatable" textures of the past and blending them with the possibilities of the future.
This isn't "AI slop." It’s Expert-Led Synthesis. Every note, every lyric, and every genre-defying blend is a deliberate choice made by a human who has lived and breathed music for two decades.

In case you missed it last year or are new to my channel since then I have a pretty good Christmas playlist of the classics with a Creeky remix and some new Holiday beats as well.

I'm dealing with some laptop issues; my laptop freezes when I type too much. It seems like a bad connection under my keyboard. If I don't type a long response to your comment or on your song that is why. When it rains it pours. I might not be creating anything new for a while because of the Udio and Suno situation but I have a large stockpile of instrumentals and songs to upload as long as my laptop holds out.

I had to have my say on Youtube and its horrible algorithm, Udio and the crap it pulled with its user's music and UMG and record labels in general. Please help me out by giving it a listen, like and comment.
