TV and Film Composer Kevin Packard covers all the bases of emotion from magical and fantastical, to creepy and spooky to dramatic underscoring to chase scenes. Some of his tracks sound perfect for replacing a Danny Elfman cue, others sound destined for use in a television 30 second spot for Home Depot or something.

All of these tracks are available for instant download and have been pre-cleared and royalty free for your use.

Check out all of Kevin’s eclectic and exciting catalog.

Here’s a few of my favorites off the top.

Chaser – Hard edged and driving, but with elements of beauty, this pulsating contemporary electronic instrumental is perfect for Xtreme Sports, Ski Movie, X Games, Fashion, Racing, or Crime Drama, Getaway, Chase Scene, Movie Theme, Trailer, Credits

Alice’s Dream – Danny Elfman ish eerie waltz. Starts off with vocalese and harmonium and gradually adds orchestral and electronic elements as it builds in intensity. Great for Christmas scene with elves or any magical Tim burton ish type of scene.

Lawn Jockey 30 - quirky instrumental with acoustic guitar and accordion as the featured voices adding bass and a good drumbeat. Would make a great companion to a quirky, humorous spot. Anything from Lawn Doctor to kid’s energy bars to vacation fun

Onward – Ethereal beginning with acoustic guitar and piano gives this reaffirming instrumental track a feeling of beginning, like the start of a new day or beginning of a journey. Great for show intro, family drama, youth drama, self awareness. historical exploration documentary, biography .

This guy is responsible for some indelible images in my head (oh and of course the sound was pure delight) – it’s the image of the swinging lamps and Kurt Cobain snarling, sneering and screaming “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

And now, the 48 year old director, Samuel Bayer, has his Hollywood moment with…Freddy Krueger. Read more.

Crowdsourcing music for commercials

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:18:18 +0000

Technology just keeps changing the ways we do things! And now it’s crowdsourcing music for commercials.

This is cool. Musikpitch is a new site where advertisers can launch a contest and composers/songwriters/bands can then submit custom music for the project. The budget is clearly listed and MusikPitch keeps the publishing and administers the licensing.

Almost completely gone are the days when ad agencies would actually select a handful of music companies to exclusively work with on a project, award them demo fees and then final fees in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
