One Way To Reduce Cost While Increasing Quality

I once had dreams that our movement away from an impulse buy based entertainment economy, over into one based on choice and commitment, would lead to greater demand and thus increased funding for diverse, ambitious work of quality. Sigh… It seems, though, that the planet I live on asks those of us who care about such things to do more for less. Unlike some, I think there is a surplus of immensely talented folk out there with great stories to tell in interesting ways. Unfortunately, it is really hard for most artists to do great work on their own. And that’s where producers come in. So it’s completely frustrating when we are trying to do more work, but there is far less funds available to work with. What are we supposed to do?

Fortunately, not only does the technology improve, but there are some people out there who keep coming up with good ideas for our benefit. Today, I have a new one of those for you, one that can help you produce good movies for less money: scoreAscore.

I am going to let xcoreAscore’s founder tell you all about it:

I’m Jordan Passman, founder and CEO of scoreAscore.com. I created scoreAscore to connect professional music composers and quality media producers.
Why scoreAscore? There are big project owners who can pick up the phone and call one of the top film composer agencies to find what they need. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are film producers scrounging through overwhelming music libraries looking for great music.

With our Name-Your-Price system, scoreAscore.com gives you original music in an easy-to-use, safe and efficient environment. Each composer is a professional who has been personally screened; some have even won Emmys and been nominated for Academy Awards.

We offer 24/7 access to composers and their music, with a mission to pair the next John Williams with the next Steven Spielberg. Our current clients include: Directors, Producers, Ad Agencies, Video Game Publishers, Trailer Houses, Music Supervisors and more! Check us out. Feel free to reach out to me directly at anytime.

Happy Scoring!

After graduating from Pitzer College, Jordan joined the Film/TV Membership Department of ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers) in New York.

Inspiration 101: “How I Wrote…”

I just stumbled across The Guardian’s live music series “How I Wrote…” where musicians tell of the inspiration behind their top songs — and then perform them live in the studio.  It’s quite a find and worthy of burning off  at least an hour today.  From Cee Lo Green, British Sea Power, Warpaint, Antony & The Johnsons, to Rufus Wainwright and Corinne Bailey Rae.  It’s quite a collection.

You can follow them on Twitter to get the latest updates of course..

Music Made By Birds

Some music is for the birds.  This is made by them.  Little wing indeed.

Making New Stuff Out Of Their Old Stuff: Upular

This music was composed using chords, bass notes, & vocal samples from one very excellent movie. Nothing like borrowing from a friend to make something new.

Bohemian Rhapsody

I guess this song became a “classic” because it is so silly. I never got it otherwise. It seems designed for Karoake but it came out BEFORE people did that. Go figure. Well this version totally captures the pure silliness inside.

And then afterwards your entire household can sing operatically all day — just sayin’…
