Special Spotlight

So you’re producing an interview segment! Problem is most people suck at being interviewed. Like… almost everyone. What do you do? You could send the non-media professional to an improv class, you could do 5 pre-interview coachings, or you could schedule a 3-day “pre-interview” at an all-inclusive beach resort in hopes that you will “share a moment” and uncover some goddamn humanity in your interview subject.
Or. You could just put some interesting music behind the segment. If your crap interview is longer than this piece Do NOT loop this music – fire your editor.

Too Cool

You know when you watch a vampire movie and then you walk out into the real world, but you’re still sort of in the fictional world because it looked like the real world… and that’s where you are now. I call this Persistence of Fiction, and it feels awesome! Capture some fiction by playing this track while walking to the bus… er the Vampire Bus! or waiting in line at the Vampire DMV or sorting Vampire Direct Mail Ads or doing some Vampire Macrame.

Ascending the Vale

We’ve all been there… wandering through an impenetrable forest, half dead with 2 arrows sticking out of your leg. And yet we continue – because it is probably good for the narrative. Then hope! Oh thank the old gods and the new!! An unmapped settlement of woodland inhabitants takes you in and brings you back from the brink of certain death. You don’t even care that it is a scurry of giant squirrels that came to the rescue, or that the healing soup they give you is largely acorn-based, and vomit-inducing.
Pastoral and beautiful. The download comes with a loop for if you never want the feeling to end.

River of Io

I would like to state, for the record, that this is the worst river cruise I’ve ever taken. The zombie crocodiles were bad enough, but the chase for the stolen artifact statue that was taken by the Ice Monkey Lord was really quite too much. And now I’m missing my left shoe. So why are we up sneaking around UFO landing sites? NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
You got some clandestine stuff going on? This track will probably work for any sneakiness anywhere.

Shenyang

When I do music based on folk traditions, I tend to name them after cities. Like this one: Shenyang. It is a little village of 8 million people that I’ve somehow never heard of. Oh sure, I’ve heard the name, but I don’t associate it with anything specific. Chicago: Hot Dogs. Amsterdam: Offensively tall Dutch. Moscow: “Stop a Douchebag”. Shenyang: No clue. How did I miss this city??
You already know if you need this piece, it has a more satisfying low-end than actual real Chinese music, and it should fit in with your modern productions well.

Fireflies and Stardust

Some beautiful rural americana-type music. I mean, just listen to that!
It is an 8 piece ensemble, and everyone is playing a lot of notes, yet it remains so simple.
Okay, the violins aren’t playing that many notes… had to pick up the 2nd violin off the waiver wires, and there wasn’t enough time to get her up to speed on the offense for this piece. So we made an executive decision, and kept things simple. We should still be able to get some good yardage here, and hope to win on defense.

On My Way

If you’re not adding to the narrative; get out of the way! This piece gets out of the way… You can put it under any monolog, dialog, timelapse… actually, with a timelapse, you could probably find something a little more interesting with some pacing, or something. So… this is for those sure nice videos. Guaranteed* to offend as few people as possible!
*”Guaranteed” is used in this context for entertainment purposes only.
