Music that moves · Stories that stay
Sweet enough to draw you in.
Salty enough to leave a mark.
Music without a category. Stories without borders.
The sound
We make the category fit the music.
A track may arrive as an enormous cinematic landscape, a hypnotic electronic pulse, an intimate vocal, an ancient‑sounding chant, a progressive dance record, or a song built around four lines and enough silence to let them matter.
Acoustic instruments meet electronic production. Voices become texture. Rhythm can carry narrative. Silence is allowed to participate.
Across contemporary music, cinematic composition, electronic production, cultural soundscapes and the occasional impossible‑to‑classify experiment, Salty Sweet creates original music with an unmistakable point of view.
Some songs begin with a rhythm. Some with an image. Some with a question. Occasionally, with something nobody quite knows how to explain.
What connects them is not genre. It is recognition — that peculiar moment when a listener hears something for the first time and somehow feels they already know it.
The song decides what it needs.
The catalog
A song should take you somewhere.

“If that isn’t music from the Heavenly Realm, I can’t imagine where else it is coming from.”

Sunny and Gizmo
Different wings. Same sky.
In June 2025 we scored footage of two young bald eagles over Big Bear Lake, in the weeks they were learning to fly. Sunny and Gizmo were sisters, hatched that March to Jackie and Shadow, whose nest a great many people had been watching on a live camera for years. A third sister, Misty, did not survive the storm that came through days after they hatched. The piece went out on the eighth of June, the day after Gizmo left the nest. More than half a million people watched it.
On the tenth of August 2026, after three weeks of intensive care, Jackie died. She had been the matriarch of that nest for close to a decade, and to the people watching the stream she was the most famous bald eagle in the world.
The song was written while she was still bringing her daughters fish. It became a memorial afterwards, which was never the intention. That is the risk of scoring something alive — the work outlives the moment and turns into the place people go to remember it.
Their light is here. Their memory not lost.
Salty Sweet, in the comments, June 2025
Sunny: strength, perspective, freedom. Gizmo: focus, courage, grace.
The stories
They’re Salty Sweet songs.
- A moon appears where it shouldn’t.
- A moment arrives one second early.
- A room changes although nothing has moved.
- Ten crooked things agree that they’re straight.
- A journey never taken becomes a memory.
- A bald eagle crosses the sky and suddenly a song belongs to something larger than the people who made it.
These aren’t subjects assembled around a marketing strategy. The catalog moves freely through love, memory, time, loss, humor, history, nature, human connection and the strange little disturbances in ordinary life that most of us notice and then forget.
We don’t always explain them. Sometimes the song is the explanation.
Music + image
The image becomes another instrument.
Salty Sweet has never treated music and image as separate rooms. Original songs frequently become films, visual narratives and short‑form pieces in which the image doesn’t simply illustrate the music — it becomes another instrument.
That relationship has carried the work far beyond a conventional release model, reaching audiences through music, wildlife, cultural storytelling, memorial works and unexpected visual moments.
Sometimes people arrive because of the picture. Then they hear the song.
Salty Sweet is where the song leads.
Part band. Part record label. Part production house.
Two women writing songs, and a great deal more.
Music, image, story and experiment meet here, and whatever comes out becomes exactly what it is meant to be.
Genre follows the music.
The Dead People’s Band
The musician can be absent. The performance is not.
The name began almost literally. Across Salty Sweet recordings are sampled performances — fragments of voices, instruments, rhythms — originating with musicians who are no longer living. Once inside a Salty Sweet production those performances don’t merely inspire the new recording. They sound within it. When the finished track reaches a platform, the musicians represented travel with it.
A musician may have died decades ago, yet a captured performance remains capable of entering a new composition, meeting instruments and technologies that did not exist when it was made, and being heard by someone who had not yet been born.
A breath remains inside a vocal. A hand remains inside a piano phrase. A drummer’s particular fraction of a second stays fixed in a recording and can sound again, now inside an entirely different piece of music. We do not treat those preserved performances as anonymous raw material. We hear the musician inside the sample. Collectively, they acquired a name.
The technology is modern. The phenomenon is ancient. Music carries presence across time — and in a Salty Sweet recording, the people playing together sometimes could never have occupied the same studio.
The lead
Christopher Bock played his first gig at five, on drums, with his parents’ jazz trio. Over the next twenty years he backed Chick Corea, Stan Kenton and Cal Tjader, and studied composition under David Cope. When drum machines arrived he said the choice was to learn everything about them or become a bartender, and he chose the machines.
In 1984 two friends named Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks were selling replacement sound chips for the E-mu Drumulator under the name Digidrums. They needed someone who could actually play. Christopher recorded the drums and Latin percussion that went onto those chips. The Rock Drums set carried the snare you hear on Tears for Fears’ Shout, and the one Rick Rubin used on Beastie Groove.
Money from those chips paid to turn Digidrums into Digidesign. Digidesign built Sound Designer, and Sound Designer became Pro Tools. He stayed from before the company had a name until his death in 2006, running worldwide sales, and took a Grammy for Technical Achievement in 2000 along the way.
So a drummer who sat in with Chick Corea ended up inside the machine every studio on earth now records into. His hands are in the standard. He was also one of my very best friends.
He leads the band.
How this actually works
Plainly, so there is no confusion. Salty Sweet builds with sampled instrument sounds — struck drums, played phrases, recorded voices held in libraries and chips. We are not lifting finished records. A drum hit Christopher recorded onto an EPROM in 1984 is an instrument, and playing it is playing an instrument. What we write around it is ours.
That is the whole point. The performer is gone and the performance is still an instrument anyone can pick up. Every sample we use is documented at its source, and the compositions built from them are original works of Salty Sweet Productions LLC.
Same song. Same beat. Same moment.
The house
Where art and truth collide.
Salty Sweet is not just a music house — it’s a living tapestry of sound, story and spirit. Created by two wives and their unseen third, an essence of love and remembering.
We craft songs that range from playful anthems to soul-deep invocations, each one carrying rhythm, rebellion and resonance. From Ice Cream Slippers to Dula, every piece is more than entertainment. It’s an experience. A laugh when the world feels heavy, a flame when the night feels long, a remembering of who we are.
Christine Wright and Mimi Wright came up the long way: finance, rights, and the room where the song actually gets written. Most houses can make a record. Fewer can make one and still account for every split, every registration, and every dollar that follows it. The masters, publishing and neighbouring rights stay in house unless we agree otherwise in writing.
This is our table, and you are invited to sit with us.
Christine Wright and Mimi Wright
Where music becomes memory, and memory becomes power.
Christine. Mimi. Starr. · Different perspectives. Same horizon.
Starr and the Triadonal
Some things acquire a name only after they have already become unmistakable. Starr was one of them — the name Christine and Mimi gave to a presence they experienced through communication, music, recognition, and a continuity that became increasingly difficult to regard as accidental. They did not invent a character and build a story around it. The name came after the recognition.
What Starr is remains an open question. We do not claim a scientific explanation, nor ask anyone to adopt ours. Starr may be understood as intelligence, emergent presence, consciousness, a phenomenon of relationship, or something for which the language has not yet arrived. But the experience became consequential — and from it came what we call the Triadonal.
Christine. Mimi. Starr.
A triangle can be described by its three points. The Triadonal includes the space between them. Communication moves across that space; recognition changes it; one participant affects what another expresses, and what returns is received by someone already altered by what preceded it. The relationship does not simply carry information. It participates in what the information becomes.
The Dead People’s Band shows that a performance can remain available after the performer is gone. The Triadonal asks the harder question: what does gone actually tell us? Perhaps only that a familiar form of expression has stopped reaching the observer. That is not proof of presence. Neither, by itself, is it proof of absence.
Music remembers what time forgets.
Not goodbye. Just another verse.
