Description
After a colleague found and shared a song that a former USPS EAP employee created, I suggested creating a
jingle for our program. During this time we were working fully remotely. I coordinated with colleagues who play
music or sing, to organize several meetings and subsequent virtual jam sessions during our lunch breaks to
attempt to create a song. I wrote and played the bass line for the song.
We encountered ongoing technical issues with latency, but recorded a rough cut, which we collaboratively
authored. The project was later abandoned due to lack of ongoing time availability from core members and
increase in our regular client workload.
However I later sampled some of the bass line in an unrelated audio project of creating ambient background
music.
Recording of a practice session (on Zoom), of a very early version of the Jingle, in September 2020. We shared it with several managers from the EAP.
"Jamming on a Jingle". 2020.
A song I recorded that built from the bass line and melody of the EAP Jingle.
