We’re back in New Orleans for round three, recording two more albums of production music for Audio Network. 🎺

In a rare miracle, we started the writing process together in the same place (instead of on different continents!), recording voice memos whilst walking Jeff’s dogs round the block!

We then head to Esplanade Studios to bring the tracks to life, we talk about how the music evolved once our incredible musicians got their hands on it, moments of doubt, moments of trust…and how a mysterious washboard hanging on the wall turned out to be the key to marketing!

In this episode we welcome our first guest, Chad Birmingham, a two-time Golden Reel award-winning Music Editor! (Song Sung Blue, Materialists, The Penguin, Past Lives, Emily in Paris)

Chad joins us to break down what a music editor actually does, his journey into the music industry, and what composers need to know when working with music editors. We dig into the love-hate relationships with temp tracks, and where AI might (or might not!) fit into the future of film scoring.

It's now 2018 and we travelled back to New Orleans for a 2nd time to record a new collection of songs for Audio Network.

Part 2 of the series sees us creating 3 great new albums covering New Orleans songs and brass band material.

Find out how Jeff won a 10$ bet by writing a song about a sandwich, how we coaxed a bandful of musicians into singing one of our songs and how we cope with loud police officers in New York City.....

This episode we’re stepping into a time machine to the 1940s!

Join us as we dive into our Vintage Vocal Swing album, a collaboration with internationally renowned composer and vocalist Joanna Forbes L’Estrange.

We walk through the whole process, from getting the brief to recording at Abbey Road studios while dressed up in full vintage gear.

Stick around until the end to see the brilliant 40s-style music video for ‘You Are’, featuring our fabulous costumes and Jeff’s even more fabulous dancing!

The Year is 2012. We pitched 30 production music tracks to our publisher Audio Network, across 6 genres. We expected them to accept a few., then they said yes to everything!

Where to even start?

This is the first of our series documenting our adventures recording in New Orleans.

Part 1 takes us back to our first trip in 2012/2013 - looking at the writing, and recording process and the fun we had along the way! From Jazz through Blues and Cajun, to an explanation of how we wrote a piece in 10 minutes at the end of a session...
