Uses are as varied as the soundtracks themselves, from dance grooves like the "Frug" and the "Swim" to Tijuana-Brass influenced Mariachi, the music on this set will perk up and add a touch of tongue-in-cheek to any production. Get your swizzel stick ready, it's the Martini Sessions!
It's easy with Soundtrack Builder The music on The Martini Sessions is arranged into what we call Soundtrack Builder Toolkits . Each kit consists of:
- Full Length Theme - The "primary" or full-length track is the major presentation of each music theme lasting several minutes in length.
- Broadcast Mixes - (commercial/advertising spot mix)
- Alternative Mixes - Alt Mixes are 1 to 3 minute variations based on the full-length mix. i.e., a new lead instrument may be used, instruments may be pulled out of the mix, or entirely new melodies may be added.
- Transitions - Transition music is used to musically tie scenes together or to cap or end scenes with a hit or musical flourish.
Shag Party provides a great example of Soundtrack Builder Toolkit
Full Length Theme
Shag Baby! - like Austin Powers or Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon (if you're old enough to remember). Austin Powers notwithstanding, the word SHAG refers to a popular 60s dance, not something else ;) (3:01)
