Our first releases for 2013 are out. So far we’ve released 6 albums (over 100 tracks). Styles focus on cinematic, big Hollywood action-adventure tracks as well as upbeat, happy moods targeted towards corporate, advertising and industrial projects. See the brief write-ups below.

Hollywood Action Hero, Vol. 1 Hollywood Action Hero, Vol. 1 brings you the soundtrack style of the giant Hollywood mega-blockbuster movie. Thundering orchestral hits and bone-crushing sound effects power these majestic tracks. These tracks have been designed for use in feature length movies but also work well with pro sports, corporate branding and breaking news headlines. This is the sound of action adventure, of the Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman/Dark Knight, 007, Fast & Furious movie franchises.
Retro Hollywood Movie Soundtracks Hollywood Action Hero, Vol. 2 continues the powerful, thunderous soundtrack style featured in Volume One. The music is written in the big studio, Hollywood action adventure style. It’s loud, aggressive and supports suspense and thriller type subject matter. This volume is slanted slightly more toward the spy and detective film genres than the previous volume one.
Media, Broadcast & Advertising Inspiring, uplifting, and grand, majestic soundtracks are found on UniqueTracks’ Media, Broadcast & Advertising album. The album’s focus is broadcast news, advertising, sports programming, industrial film, product infomercials, really anywhere where a celebratory, exhilarating mood is needed. This collection is great for underscoring achievement, success, bold vision, and motivation. Great for TV production, CEO presentations, management strategy, new product releases and news segments.
Smooth Dreams Relaxing smooth jazz and upbeat new age textures create the sound of Smooth Dreams. From floating piano dreamscapes to mellow chill out grooves, the music here will give your production a modern, casual, carefree quality.
Action, Suspense, Horror, War Movie Soundtrack Kit The 48 themes included in the Action, Suspense, Horror, War Movie Soundtrack Kit will add a stream of rugged, forceful energy into your production. The full gamut of the action adventure/thriller genre is covered. There’s Hero music underscoring bravery and courage; there’s also brutal, chilling, eerie music emphasizing the evil of the villain The music creates tension and pulse and will give your production a strong, dramatic impact.

We call it a movie kit because complete main themes with fully orchestrated melodies are paired with shorter transition music that is good for bridging between scenes.

Dramatic, Modern Textures The 37 themes in the Dramatic Modern Textures collection provide you with a select kit of contemporary soundtracks and underscores. The music is emotional and dramatic conveying feelings of sadness, optimism, calm, wonder, fear, happiness, loneliness. Unique to this collection is a series of brief Interludes or bridges, each written in a different emotion, that you can use for introductions, scene transitions or outros.

e-media promo shoot for Bedslide yields great results

Eric Wyatt and the video production creatives at e-media, in Ft. Myers Florida, recently produced a promo spot for Bedslide which featured some tracks from the UniqueTracks Production Music Library.

Bedslide makes a unique sliding ultility for loading and unloading trucks. Basically, it turns your truck bed into a sliding drawer.

Eric told me recently

The marketing department [at Bedslide] wanted
to use something with a hard rock sound for music.
Thankfully we had your Speed Demons CD.

Here is the spot, shot for under $3000. Neat product.

Wikipedia leverages user-generated content for its own politics

Information wants to be free… (so the Web gospel reads)

Wikipedia apparently has entered the political arena, closing the site for one day to protest the SOPA bill.

What’s interesting to me is the notion that the knowledge collected by Wikipedia, freely given by volunteers spending untold hours contributing to the site, can be leveraged by the site’s owners to support their own politics.

I don’t know that that meets the approval of the many, varied, unpaid writers that contribute freely to Wikipedia or so-called crowdsource or “open source” platforms.

In an article titled The importance of Wikipedia published Nov 30, 2011 on opensource.com, Susan Hewitt, a 63-year old contributor to Wikipedia says

“Wikipedia is self-organizing and self-correcting,”. “There is no boss and police force, yet at this point in its development it’s perfectly clear that it works really well.” Wikipedia calls to the better angels of people’s nature, and those angels respond.

No police force, but apparently a higher power.

It’s the downside of the concept of a free web. The truth is there are powers behind the free web and they can use their power when it suits them. Now it’s free, now it’s not. Who decides? Well, we saw this week who decides.

Interestingly, a paid product, Encyclopedia Britannica, for instance, could not be so leveraged. Once you purchase it, it is yours. It can’t be removed from your home by the publishers because they don’t agree with your politics. Is that what we pay for? Ownership? Control? Privacy? Autonomy?

A little bit of Guitar Heaven
Royalty free music from UniqueTracks

Guitar Heaven, a new royalty free music collection from the UniqueTracks Production Music Library, features 28 full-length tracks written in rock, blues and country guitar styles. There is plenty of rock energy here, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal are all represented including a tongue-in-cheek homage to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody entitled Bohemian Blasphemy.

There is also a fine selection of electric blues tracks, something of a throwback to 1970s guitar god jam band playing. These tracks are a rare addition to the royalty free genre.

The country instrumentals feature plenty of dynamic guitar-picking and the Latin-influenced acoustic guitar tunes will help bring out the sun.

Guitar Heaven was composed and produced for UniqueTracks by Canadian composer Neil Cross.

Attention Game Producers: Retro 8-bit Game Soundtracks from UniqueTracks

New Product Release: UniqueTracks’ new Retro Gamer is a collection of electronic music based on the 8-bit chipset used in legacy video games like the Nintendo Game Boy. This music emulates the tunes found on famous games like the Mario Brothers series. The atmosphere is fun, light and kind of goofy. Songs have a bouncy, buzzy, quality with a touch of innocence.

There are 21 full-length themes here. Each song is presented with several edits including an alternate mix where the main melody is pulled out of the mix. This can be helpful if you are using the track in a game and need more of a pad or muted background. Most tracks are cut right at a loop point so they can easily be extended in your editor.

These songs are just fun. They fit non-game related productions too, from quirky commercial beds to wacky YouTube Cats videos.

Have a listen. You will recognize this sound…
