Background:

Bobby Cole, also known as Catch 22 Music, composes fresh, exciting and new music specifically for the broadcast industry. Catch 22 Music has a range of royalty-free music that is perfect for video producers, computer game companies, ad agencies, YouTube videos, short films, indie films, student projects and much more. Catch 22 Music is constantly being used all over the world in a variety of projects.

Some Questions We Asked Bobby–

–High profile projects or clients you have worked for?

I have currently finished working on a project for a company called Slasherstudios.com. They produce great 80s style slasher films, so it was a wonderful project to be involved with. I’ve also done a lot of work with Media Juice studios, working on trailers for such companies as DC Comics, Fast and Furious, and much more.

–Primary instrument?

It’s a tricky one, but probably keyboards now. It has changed over the last 20 years, and I have really focused on ‘band’ instruments, and play drums, guitar, bass and keys.

–Favorite music-making piece of gear or software you currently use?

It’s got to be Cubase. I just know my way around it so quickly now, and try to stay up to date with each new product they release.

–Piece of gear or software you wish you owned?

My heart would say an original 1965 Hammond B3 Organ with matching Leslie, but then my brain would say something like Heavyocity Damage, or the evolve series. Those products sound amazing.

–Film score or song you admire? Why?

I love Hans Zimmer’s work on Inception. You can hear some of the elements from the 28 Days Later sound track, but on the whole it is a great score, and really captures the theme of the film.

–Music education background?

I’ve studied music and music technology all through school. I moved to London when I was 18 and studied Music Technology at the London College of Music and Media.

–Memorable “Aha!” moment during your musical education?

Probably when I realised how to use weird and wonderful chords in my playing like diminished 7ths and flatted 9ths. Really opened up my playing and composing.

–Most embarrassing music-related moment?

Hmm, that’s a tricky one! I did a gig once where there was a problem with sharing the previous bands drum kit. They took the cymbals and hi hats, so our drummer had to use a small metal bin as his hi hat!!!!

–If you had a time machine and could record or perform once with any artist, who would it be?

That’s a brilliant question. So many too choose from! I think it would have to be something like Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody…. That would be a fun one! Or something like Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

–Moment you first knew you would be a musician?

Probably when I was about 14 and realised that I wasn’t good at anything else, so I decided to make my ‘fun hobby’ into a professional money making career.

–Advice you would give to a younger family member interested in a music career?

Diversify. Try and do a few things rather than focus on one thing. I compose, perform, teach, produce, etc. It gives me different income sources so that I am not putting all my eggs in one basket.

–Five songs or albums you’d take with you to a desert island?

Fleetwood Mac– Rumours

Counting Crows– August and Everything After

Beach Boys– Pet Sounds

Earth Wind and Fire– I Am

Greenday– Dookie

–If you could master another instrument, what would it be?

Saxophone, definitely!

–Favorite time of day to work in your studio?

9am with a cup of tea.

In part I of this blog series I promised to document my experience writing,
producing and marketing a novelty song; with the ultimate goal being that I own
the publishing rights to a song that has permeated culture. I decided that song
would be “Poopy Diaper”.

I should be upfront and say that anyone who willingly puts their name on a song
called “Poopy Diaper” and spend weeks bringing that song to fruition has, in some
way, hit bottom. Who the hell would go to the trouble of documenting what adults
feel when they change their childrens’ diapers?

I’ll tell you who. It’s someone who doesn’t want to bother cultivating a unique
sound, much less an audience, and wants to fast forward straight to the part where
royalty checks arrive in the mail.

Anyone who’s raised young children remembers the period when very real things
happened on that diaper-changing table. They will also remember that by the time
potty-training became an option, their child ironically possessed the ability to
verbally express that potty-training was a stupid idea.

I want my song to throw gasoline on that very important family conversation. I
want baby boys to hate this song because their parents sing it to them. I want
sleep-deprived moms to plop her daughters in front of YouTube to learn what needs
to be sung when big things are happening in their pants.

I want older siblings to taunt their younger siblings with it, who will eventually
recount this experience on an expensive therapy couch…only to sing it to their
own children.

When I was a music major I learned an ugly German word for music that has been
created for a specific purpose…”Gebraunchsmusik”. In a 1921 academic
publication, musicologist Paul Nettl observed a clear distinction between music
that was intended mainly to be in the service of dancers, and that which was
mainly intended to service the ideals of art. He called the latter
“Vortragsmusik”. Basically, “Vortragsmusik” was the high-falutin’ music that
expanded our minds…”Gebraunchsmusik” was simple-minded music that, much like a
toaster oven, served a very specific purpose.

The purpose of my original composition is to serve parents of the upcoming 11
billion people that will be pooping in their pants.

In my next blog, I’ll talk about how I actually produced the song itself. Stay
tuned.

Background:

Michael Musco, also known as Musco Sound, is an award winning musician from theUnited States. He brings with him an impressive track record of success along with an ever growing library of new music in a wide variety of styles and genres. His creative outlook on production music has lead to his music being placed in television, film, documentary, video games, ads, and everything else in between.

Some Questions We Asked Michael–

–High profile projects or clients you have worked for?

Most of the music I have created I never really know where it ends up or how it’s used. When I do get the chance to work on music for a client it’s very awesome. I’ve worked with an award winning digital signage company, Blue Pony Digital. Also I have created music used by Holiday Inn Express, Sugarshack Animation, Seward Inc, and many more.

–Primary instrument? –Favorite music-making piece of gear or software you currently use?
The instrument that has really gotten me into the music world is the guitar, but I’d say for commercial music my primary instrument is the synthesizer, and I use Fl Studio 11 to produce all the music I create. 

–Piece of gear or software you wish you owned?
I wish I owned Native Instruments Komplete 9, which I soon will purchase as soon as my computer is upgraded.

–Film score or song you admire? Why?
I’ve always liked the music in Jaws. It’s one of those scores that will never be forgotten and even now you hear kids in pools going dhanna dhanna dhanna as they stalk one of their friends.

–Memorable “Aha!” moment during your musical education?
My aha moment was when I realized I was mixing my music to loud. I fell into the loudness war hard and didn’t even really know I was in it until it was to late.

–Most embarrassing music-related moment?
I think the most embarrassing music moment I’ve had was playing guitar on stage and completely forgetting how to play the song.

–If you had a time machine and could record or perform once with any artist, who would it be?
Jimi Hendrix for sure.

–Moment you first knew you would be a musician?
Probably the first time I picked up the guitar and started playing, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I have always loved music and going to see live music. Once I started playing myself it quickly turned not only into a passion but an obsession.

–Advice you would give to a younger family member interested in a music career?
Don’t listen to the negative people out there that will try and give you reasons why not to pursue a career in music. Follow your dreams, stay focused, work hard, and you can do it.

–Five songs or albums you’d take with you to a desert island?
That’s a tough question. I’ve been pretty digital with listening to music. I’d prefer to probably take my computer hard drive more then anything. I’d have to have some music from: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Black Keys, White Stripes, Nirvana, just to name a few. Haha since I was on an island maybe some Jimmy Buffet. 

–If you could master another instrument, what would it be?
Piano

–Favorite time of day to work in your studio?
In the mornings.

When mixing a music track, it’s always been a best practice to frequently alternate between sets of speakers. But  in our increasingly mobile world, you must now mix for a variety of mobile devices as well.

In an effort to make this easier for you, MusicRevolution.com has conducted a series of empirical listening tests and created this quick reference chart that summarizes the sonic differences between the world’s most popular mobile audio formats. Our study covers redbook audio CD, YouTube (played on a Galaxy IIs), iTunes MP3 (through both mini cable and Bluetooth) and Rhapsody:

During projects, your clients gleefully play your mix for their peers on whatever device is handy. This cheatsheet will help you defend your mix when clients experience differences between those devices. Some of the differences they’ll hear are drastic (YouTube…whoa). We think you’ll want to have this test data in front of you when they ask about this.

Happy mixing!

A US music library with whom we partner is releasing two upcoming CDs of dubstep tracks. They are looking for tracks to include on, in their exact words, “two albums of Dubstep, one ‘pop’ or commercial, such as it is, and the other oriented towards trailers and cinematic.” An upfront licensing fee (against future sync royalties) will be paid to musicians whose tracks are chosen. This particular library requires breakout stems for their tracks so it’s important that you can access the original session files for whatever tracks you submit.

If you wish to create or submit a new track for this project, please add “dubstep713” in the “Description” field of your track metadata and we’ll approve the change in less than 24 hours. You can do this to an existing track in our system or just add that tag to our newly submitted track.

To update the “Description” field in an existing track, do the following:

1) Log into your www.musicrevolution.com account
2) Click on “My Uploaded Tracks”
3) In the left navigation, click the “Status” of the track you want to tag (probably “Active”)
4) When you see your track in the list, click the “Edit” icon
5) Click on the “Tags/Metadata” section for that track
6) Enter “dubstep713” in the description box.
7) Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom.
8) Click the “Submit to Editor” button below the editing window.
9) You’re done!

At that point your track will be offline for just a few hours while our team approves the change and re-activates your tracks. The client has been issued a search link where they can view all tracks submitted for this project.

Thanks for letting us sell your music!
