Because we were talking about the shelf life of music…. This is the latest commercial for “Dead Space” – using a remake of Phil Collins’ “In the Air tonight”!! 😉

(Starts at around 0:40 into the video)
Pretty bold move from the marketing ppl! I’m impressed!@Rob: I agree, very addictive! =)
That’s great Axiom! Hey maybe it was your track that I heard in that commercial! The thing with dubstep is that it mixes so well with so many other genres.
Interesting to hear about Big Beat still selling well, Mark! I always was a big fan of Crystal Method, Junkie XL (whos now writing a lot of video game soundtracks btw) and the like… but I kinda thought it had its car commercial peak around.. I dont know late 90ies early 2000s maybe? And yes, in Europe we called it “Big Beat”.
@Rob: I started an orchestral track and before I knew it, it had turned into a dubstep orchestral hybrid thing. It’s just too much fun!
I’m curious about the next big thing already. Now that things got rather tonal than melodic and the tempo dropped so drastically, what could the next step be? =)
Funny story Axiom! I keep hearing a lot of dubstep references in songs you wouldn’t expect it in. I even heard a christmas dubstep song in a commercial few weeks ago. It was hysterical! =)
Well dubstep is just gonna morph over time and mix with other genres. I think dubstep will be watered down so its more accessible for a broader audience. Maybe in 2 years the straight up dubstep won’t be so much in demand anymore, but you might hear some pop/rock song with an occasional wub wub in there. God help us…
I mean you still hear techno in commercials these days, in the 90ies everyone would tell me techno is just a fad. Well, it wasn’t. The production tools change of course and so does the sound, so you have to upgrade and get the new tools – but so does everybody else. I think as electronica producer you have a great basis for this business. Just try to write in a few different styles, the neighbouring genres and learn new tools!
Thanks Art, thats also what I thought. Maybe I get a surprise cheque in the mail next week! Hoping there were some reruns of some shows or some new placements… we’ll see! 😉
No report shows up at my BMI page, does this mean there are no royalties for me this quarter or are there delays sometimes in their system? (Please tell me delays are possible or I stick my fingers in my ears and start singing really loudly…)
Site looks great, Emmett!!
I think I got the same email! I told him he can use it for ipad apps/games. Basically he needs to read the licensing contract from the site he buys from to answer his question.
Is MichaelL around? 😉
Hi Cari, I’d say the fewer middlemen/middlewomen (?) the better! What service could an agent/manager provide to you? What is it that you think you need help with? Is it getting you in touch with libraries, is it going through all the legalese or filling out meta data? 😉
