A Note From The Producer:
Political/Election/Patriotic
music
A couple of months back we produced
a great disc of new music for political coverage (AA164).
Now, with the 2008 elections here in the USA quickly approaching,
I'm sure many of you will be putting together last minute spots,
promotions and show themes for local election coverage. I've
compiled a list of all the themes from Audio Architecture that
work best for these types of productions. Hopefully, it will
make your job a little bit easier. You can download the audio
CD reference list here. If you're using the library on hard
drive, download the hard
drive reference list here.
We are always working to make Audio
Architecture a library that covers all of your production needs.
The feedback and input from our clients is the most important
tool we have in planning and producing new material for the library.
It's kind of like voting in an election. The people who go out
and cast their ballet help determine the outcome. The people
who just talk about it but don't vote have no effect on the outcome.
Their voices basically go unheard. Please contact us anytime
with your comments about Audio Architecture. We are always eager
to listen.
Music for Halloween
I thought I'd throw out a couple
of disc numbers as a quick reminder of where to find some cool
music for Halloween productions. AA156
is dramatic, horror music. AA089
is a variety of musical styles with a definite Halloween vibe.
If you're using AA on hard drive look in the "Dramatic_Moods\Horror"
folder and the "Holiday_Occasions\Other_Holidays" folder.
Of course there are other tracks in the Dramatic_Moods and Specialty
categories but these should be enough to get you off to a good
start.
New Music
AA174 Country/Variety is the latest
addition to Audio Architecture. This disc features styles from
a wide range of country music. Everything from old-fashioned
honky tonk that would fit right in at any Gilley's-Wanna-Be-Roadside-Bar
to contemporary Nashville styles. The only things missing are
long-neck bottles of beer, cowboy hats and sawdust!

AA173 - Pop/Tween Power
Streaming
Preview
What the heck is a "tween"?
In case you don't know already, tweens are those older kids that
are not quite teens yet. Why name a disc of pop music after them?
If you've got kids you know it's a very popular genre of music.
Just turn on Disney or Nick. I read an article the other day
that said tweens influence about a bazillion dollars in purchases
every year. That means an advertiser might want music with that
vibe. And… since we make music for just that purpose, the
Tween Power disc was born! Youthful, positive pop music. Great
for a variety of ad copy or show themes.

AA171 - Drama/The Heroes II
Streaming
Preview
What would the summer be without
the premiere of an epic, big-budget sequel. The cleverly titled
"Heroes II" is the follow up to the hugely successful
soundtrack, AA145 - The Heroes. The theme titles describe the
story line:
- The New Kingdom
- Perilous Times
- Enemy Attack
- Warriors Lost
- March To War
- Bloody Battle
- Victorious Heroes
The good guys win in the end of course! The kingdom is safe and
all is right with the world, for now...
