The Robot Repair Connection:
Kael is also a composer at Robot Repair – a dedicated music house that produces completely original music intended for film, commercials, and art. They have crafted music for Audi, Acura, Lexus, Cadillac, etc.
Robot Repair has a huge demo library full of tons of little gems. The only downside is that most of the songs really are only 30 seconds.
