todd.jpgSo many beautiful projects lately. So beautiful and so overwhelming. I'm having one of the greatest artistic times of my life lately.
I've never had such a spectacular writing partner. Yes, it's true, I have begun a band with an amazing artist and amazing human being. An artist that I'm quite certain many of you know and love. I can't wait to share it with all of you. We're working away on our first glorious, epic album and have already started bouncing around ideas for the follow up. I'll have more on all that very soon.
In the meantime, I just had to populate this space with some more brand new audio joy of my own.

Here's a brand new, happy, fun tune we're working on.
See if you can figure it out before I do.
"Their stare - ee oh
Is odd - ee oh..."
We just got some new gear in the video production studio so check back soon for some brand new adventures including a little thing we're working on called "Todd McHatton's Champy Ones" and a whole lot more!

And... we're back! So many new fun projects in the works and on the way. I can't wait to share them all with you! That doesn't mean that I'm going to stop doing what I've always done here though. There's lots and lots of new music on the way including this brand new tune! It's So Nice To Meetcha!

Check out the awesome Galactic Champions of Joy review from Jeff Giles at Dadnabbit!
Todd McHatton's Galactic Champions of Joy is a wickedly addictive bouillabaisse of family-friendly kindie 'tude and old-school pop geekery, rolled into fine layers and stacked into infinity.
Galactic Champions of Joy is your must-own album of the fall
Thank You Jeff!

Today Two Friends (rough demo).mp3

The Green Thing Fish Bus.jpgThought I'd share a rough demo from the concept album I've been working on for some time now. I love this project so much - it's like I never want it to end so I just keep doing little tiny bits at a time. We've got stacks of sketch and water color pads piled around here with concept art, a complete set of story boards, a rough (some of it finished) large format picture book, various flash animations, and of course... loads of music. Eventually I'll assemble it into it's final glorious production. I'd love to have the assistance of some brilliant animator out there in bringing this story to life. If you know someone please pass this along.
In the meantime...
You know what...? It's time for a brand new record!
Stay tuned - I'll post the big announcement video right here - very soon.

For Tea Birds In The Vast Nest

For Tea Birds In The Vast Nest.mp3

for tea birds in the vast nest.jpgFor Tea Birds In The Vast Nest
Mrs Tasket unwraps the basket she packed for tea birds in the vast nest - Shining silver, silken lace - And porcelain pots - And seeded cakes - Some things she borrows - Some things she bakes - Some things she asks for - Some things she takes - For tea birds in the vast nest - Good things will fall upon those who wait as Mrs Tasket will kindly state - For tea birds in the vast nest - On winding ladders up she takes her box of saucers, cups, and plates - Her set may chip but never break - She's always early - Never late - For tea birds in the vast nest - Oh fortune smiles for ten aisles of four birds each in forty styles - In Forties styles - In different styles - When the day is done each wing she shakes - Giving all the birdies a heart felt thanks - Call it destiny or fate - Just make a place to celebrate for tea birds in the vastness

It's a brand new song! Sit back with a nice cup of tea, your favorite birdies, and enjoy.
