As an added feature on Sacred Spaces, we've included very striking vocal performances on three of the songs. Be sure to listen to Call the Rising Sun, Red July and Shadows. Each song has the usual full-length instrumental mix but we've also provided an alternate vocal mix. The vocalist is Jillian Goldin and she adds an alluring and stirring presence to the album.
It's easy with Soundtrack Builder The music on Sacred Spaces is arranged into what we call Soundtrack Builder Toolkits . Each kit consists of:
- Full Length Theme - The "primary" or full-length track is the major presentation of each music theme lasting several minutes in length.
- Broadcast Mixes - (commercial/advertising spot mix)
- Alternative Mixes - Alt Mixes are 1 to 3 minute variations based on the full-length mix. i.e., a new lead instrument may be used, instruments may be pulled out of the mix, or entirely new melodies may be added.
