New Season, New Beginnings

Sarah

Alas, Labor Day marks the end of the Summer.  No more beach excursions or ice cream truck melodies chiming down your street.  You can see it as an end of sorts, or you can see it as a fresh new beginning.  Let’s face it, September offers a lot of great stuff!  You can watch football of all denominations – college, NFL or even go to your local high school and support your local team.  Fall turns down Mother Nature’s thermostat allowing you to shut off the air conditioning.  We all love lower utility bills!  Plus you can bust out all of those amazing scarves from the closet!  And who doesn’t like apple pie?  I think there’s a law out there somewhere that states you can only bake an apple pie in the months of September through December.  Look it up!
 

 
We here at 5 Alarm Music are also changing.  Our beloved team member Maddie Madsen is pursuing her life-long dream to be a full time composer and producer.  Her ten years of service with us have been filled with many laughs and great memories!  We love you Maddie and wish you much success in your new endeavors!
 

 
Like the changing of the seasons, we are excited about all of the new beginnings around here!  Our very own JD Adams is now our Executive Director / Producer.  His extensive licensing background coupled with his musical education and performance chops (little known fact: JD is an amazing singer!) makes him a perfect fit.
 

 
Sarah Scarlata (hey, that’s me!) is now the East Coast Music Director and along with fulfilling various production duties, 5 Alarm Blogstress prowess and Digital Content responsibilities.  No music search is too daunting for this gal!  You should see my CD collection, it’s as diverse as a United Nations assembly.  I also play a mean train beat!
 

 
We are also anticipating the addition of a new West Coast Music Director.  We guarantee that this new team member is going to be the perfect combination of Winning Personality / Musical Genius / Super Hero.  We will make the announcement next week, stay tuned!
 

 

 
From all of us at 5 Alarm – Have a safe and joyous Labor Day!  Let’s celebrate the new season, shall we?

 

 

 

Made Up Music Makes Pandemonium At The 2012 Olympics

Sarah

The Olympic Games are never short on excitement and the 2012 London games are no different.  The sweet taste of victory coupled with the agony of defeat are present at every event.  I have never had the honor of meeting a member of the USA Olympic team, but it’s heartwarming to see all of that training pay off.  That’s OUR team, and we’re proud of every one of them!

 

 

Speaking of our team, we couldn’t be prouder of composers Ralph Salmins and Paul Clarvis from the Made Up Music library!  They assembled 1,000 drummers (!) for the aptly titled Pandemonium percussion group that performed in the Olympic opening ceremonies.

 

Paul Clarvis (far left), Ralph Salmins (right side by bass drum) and the Pandemonium percussion group

 

Ralph and Paul worked closely with Danny Boyle, the artistic director for the Opening Ceremonies, and Underworld star Rick Smith to create a rousing percussive soundscape for the Industrial Revolution portion of the show.  Were ear plugs invented during the Industrial Revolution?  Speaking as a fellow drummer, I hope Ralph and Paul protected their hearing among all of those thundering drums!  OK, motherly rant over.
 

 
Not only did they showcase their talents in the Opening Ceremonies, but they are also featured on the Olympic Soundtrack recorded at the famed Abby Road Studios in London.  It is currently topping the iTunes charts.  Not bad, guys!!
 
The powerful percussion duo of Ralph and Paul can be heard on Hollywood blockbusters like The Dark Knight, The Bourne Ultimatum, Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings.  Check out their Master Percussion series, both are available for licensing:
 
Master Percussion Series Volume 1 – MUM144
 
Master Percussion Series Volume 2 – MUM145
 
From all of us here at 5 Alarm Music – a hearty congratulations to Ralph Salmins and Paul Clarvis for keeping the Olympic spirit alive!

 

 

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Sarah

It’s time to bust out those Sousa Marches, the 4th of July is here! If Mr.Sousa magically rose from the dead, the first thing I would say to him would be this: “High School marching band almost ruined your music for me, but you’re still awesome!” Somehow being in the audience of a 4th of July parade is far better than wearing a thick wool band uniform while wielding heavy band instruments through the scorching July heat…..
 

 
But I digress! Here are some Americana ditties to get you in the mood for sparking up the good ol’ BBQ and lighting those rocket sized fireworks you bought at that roadside tent in Tennessee. Make sure the wick isn’t shorter than your legs can carry you!

The Magic Behind The Music: Sonic Ozault – 6/29/12

Sarah

Music is one of the most accessible and wide reaching art forms around. I mean, who doesn’t love listening to music? It molds our culture and our times on both a personal and societal level. There is also an alluring element of mystery about a piece of music. Where did the composer get the inspiration? How was it recorded? What is the instrumentation? You can drive yourself mad if you think too hard about it. These questions are also what keep the doors open at music schools!
 

 
The Sonic Ozault music library has done it again by releasing six powerhouse CDs so far in 2012! There’s a little something for everyone in their latest releases – shredding electric guitar rock, emotive film scores made for the big screen, infectious electronica club anthems and feel good lifestyle themes. Along with their new music are a couple of videos that take you behind the scenes with exciting studio footage! Take a listen:
 
SOZ044-045 Guitar Heroes Vol.4 (Disc 1 and 2)
 
Chris Wright doesn’t mess around. The musicianship displayed on SOZ044-045 Guitar Heroes Vol.4 is in a word….intimidating. With Chris’ mind-bending electric guitar work coupled with muscular grooves and a heavy bottom end, these CDs ROCK! Think of it as a celebration of the fact that ROCK. IS. NOT. DEAD. Check out this YouTube video to see some of the studio magic in action –
 

 
SOZ046-047 Hollywood Hitz Vol.2 (Disc 1 and 2)
 
It’s Summer and movie theaters are now showing off some of the best cinematic moments of the year! SOZ046-047 Hollywood Hitz Vol.2 rises to that challenge by delivering the perfect soundtracks suitable for all of your blockbuster favorites. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you want to fly…..that’s all the sweet rhymes I got. Check out some of this footage, yo:

Dust off those dancing shoes, it’s Friday night! The club magnetism in SOZ048 Dance Party Madness Vol.6 will infect your groove mood like never before regardless of if you dance like Paula Abdul or Pee Wee Herman. Don’t be shy, give it a try!

The Breakfast Of Champions: New Olympic Production Music – 6/15/12

Sarah

I don’t know about you, but I love the Olympics. It’s athletes like Michael Phelps and Serena Williams that give the rest of the world the impression that the United States is full of Herculean specimens. U-S-A! U-S-A! That will be my mantra from the comfort of my Barcalounger while feasting on chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. Represent!
 
This week’s new releases spark the pride and yearning for victory that goes along with the Olympic games. T minus 40 days until the opening ceremonies for The Games of the XXX Olympiad in London. May “Old Glory” ride high and central on the Olympic medal podium!
 
CTM004 Cinemasounds Trailer Music 4
 
The trumpet’s blare signals the arrival of the contenders! These tracks are bigger than the credit card bill of those actually in attendance at the Opening Ceremonies. Let the games begin!

What Do Hipsters And Air Conditioning Have In Common? New Sunny Tunes – 5/18/12

Sarah

Ahhhhh…..Spring is in the air. The sun stays around for happy hour and your air conditioner is called back to active duty. Although Memorial Day weekend is still a week away, it’s time to pull out that dusty barbeque out of the storage shed! I thought it only fitting to show off the new releases from the Abaco, Amygdala and Liftmusic libraries which kick off good party vibes. Soak it in!
 
AB211 I ♥ Hipsters
 
What would Summer be without the fun-to-people-watch Hipster kids? They are everywhere in LA – Dodger Stadium, The Hollywood Bowl, Elysian Park and of course the ultimate Hipster Paradise known as The Satellite (aka Spaceland for seasoned LA concert goers). Just look for bearded men and waif-y ladies donning skinny jeans, shades with colorful frames and can of PBR in their hand. I can say this for the breed of Silverlake/Echo Park/Brooklyn residents – they sure do love their Indie Rock. And I too love Indie Rock. Therefore, I ♥ Hipsters. Wait……I think I got that wrong on the SAT too.

AMY020 Classic Rock, Southern Twang
 
Keeping with the “Get Rid Of Cable” commercials humor, here’s another nod: When I think of Summer, I think of road trips. When I think of road trips, I think of the open American highway. When I think of the open American highway, I think of rootsy American music. And when I think of rootsy American music, I think of biker bars. Does Summer remind me of Biker Bars? No, but beer sure does. Somehow, all roads lead back to beer. Sit back, crack one open and enjoy the sounds from AMY022 Classic Rock, Southern Twang. And unlike Budweiser now owned by a company in Belgium, enjoy the music that is will always be a true American export!

LIFT067 Good Times
 
Good Times. Is there anything better? I’ll go ahead and answer no on your behalf. From all the way across The Pond comes LIFT067 Good Times, a shag-a-delic volume that Austin Powers can boogie down to. Yeah Baby!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed: New Remixed Production Music – 4/27/12

Sarah

“They just don’t make ’em like they used to!” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard an elder say that, I wouldn’t need that Social Security check that my generation probably won’t get anyway. Despite the old tired saying, there is some truth in it. There was a time when music had to actually be performed and not programmed. And if you made a mistake on tape, you had to record it again thus leaving no room for amateurs. Those were the days! This week’s new releases from the Cavendish, Poke and Deneb Records music libraries blend the sounds of yesterday with a fresh new twist. Think of it in the same vein as Dre and Snoop jamming with a hologram of Tupac, minus the whole rapping thing. Respect!
 
CAV317-319 Archive Remixed
 
The Archive Remixed series is a marriage of old Funk and Soul with the modern synthesizer. Unlike Kim Kardashian’s marriage, this one is built to last! These tracks are seething with confidence and all around bad-ass-ery. You may need to pull out your shades to even listen to it, you’ve been warned!

We ♥ You, NAB!

Sarah

Ah yes, it’s the Monday after the 2012 NAB Convention. Our annual trek to Las Vegas is a combination of meeting up with old friends and making new ones in the whirlwind of the busy convention floor. That slight exhaustion mixed with a fond nostalgia is always a sign of another wonderful NAB experience!
 

 
For those of you who have never been in attendance, the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Convention is an annual event held in Las Vegas devoted to everything associated with making a production come to life. The elaborate booths both informative and interactive are always a sight to see! 2012 marks 5 Alarm Music’s 10th anniversary and we were up to the task of strutting our stuff!
 

 
Who says you can’t mix business with pleasure? We here at 5 Alarm have earned the reputation for throwing a pretty amazing party and this year was no different! Our second annual shindig at The Society Cafe in the Wynn Encore Hotel was a smashing success. We now have blackmail party pics on all who attended. I kid, I kid!
 

 
We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth! Here is our 2011-2012 sizzle reel highlighting some of our hot new music placements.
 

 
We look forward to presenting more great music at next year’s show, see ya then!
 

Delving Into The Din Of Delirium: Quirky New Releases – 4/6/12

Sarah

Making music is much like creating a painting. Sometimes you’re not in the mood to paint that pretty sunrise or an expansive mountain vista. Sometimes you just wanna squeeze a dollop of paint in your palm and smear it all around in a nonsensical swirl for no other reason than the fact that you can. And because let’s face it, rarely does life move along in a straight line!
 
This week’s weird and wild new releases from the Octopus Records, Amygdala, Deneb Records and Liftmusic libraries have some pretty awesome song titles to go along with the fun. My personal favs are Back Seat Funk, Bloody Rusty Saw, Frikin’ Bastard, Quickie Rock, Cheeky Chappy and Donde Es El Aeropuerto. So buckle up buttercup, let your hair down and get ready to get a little crazy!
 
OTP611 Eaten Alive!
 
In case you were wondering, the movie Eaten Alive! which appears to be filled with all sorts of awesomeness, really does exist! The plot synopsis according to IMDB is as follows: “A young woman teams up with an adventurer to find her missing sister in the jungles of New Guinea and they stumble upon a religious cult led by a deranged preacher whom has located his commune in an area inhabited by cannibals.” Ummmm…..yes please! With every amazingly horror-ble movie is an equally amazing score. OTP611 Eaten Alive! is that score. Please Octopus Records, send me the movie poster!

AMY027 Sensual Encounters
 
It seems like the couple making out in horror movies is always the first to get it. Keeping with this tradition, AMY027 Sensual Encounters reminds us that it doesn’t pay to make out when there’s a killer on the loose! Blending cheesy 70’s funk with tongue-in-cheek retro horror themes, this CD is bound to please any horror buff with an appreciation for the all-too-cliche pairing of sex and death.

DNB730 Psychedelic Symbolism
 
DNB730 Psychedelic Symbolism sounds a lot like a flashback. For those of you who dabbled in the 70’s, this one’s for you! Combining avant garde analog keyboards and spaced out jazz drum set grooves, this is definitely a CD to listen to with a black light on and incense alight.

Library Of The Week: Octopus Records
 

 
I have been very vocal about my love for Horror movies on this blog over the years. When I was informed that the Primrose Music Library unveiled their new period Horror movie score label Octopus Records, well, I was ecstatic! Beyond the fact that the album covers are amazing (I’m not kidding when I say that I want those movie posters….EBay?), these film scores from the 1970’s and 1980’s are the real McCoy. Not retro remakes, but real scores. Talk about street cred!! These tracks will add instant cool to any production, get on it!

Hot Stuff With No Fluff! New 5 Alarm Music Releases – 3/23/12

Sarah

A lot goes into making a good record. I still use the word record even though music has gone the way of the MP3, call me old fashioned! When music hits you in all the right spots, it’s never an accident. The artistry behind the songs and production all come into play. Capturing sound and the best performance is an art in itself!
 
The 5 Alarm Music Library has two new and exciting additions to our catalog: 05A092 Soul Revival and CTM003 Cinemasounds Trailer Music 3! The continuous goal of going beyond what is expected from a music library is well realized on these releases. Our philosophy of quality over quantity ensures that our CDs are hot stuff with no fluff!
 
05A92 Soul Revival feels like a time machine taking you back to the Motown days of bee hive hairdos and all the way back home to 2012 where powerhouse singers like Adele and Florence + The Machine dominate the radio airwaves. This celebration of Soul blends positivity and emotional liberation all in one CD featuring a team of top notch composers – David Gross, Stephen Boyd, Christina Kaufman, Greta Matassa, Jim Rast, Bob Merrell, Keely Whitney and Paul Richardson. These powerful female vocal tracks pack some serious ‘tude and aren’t afraid to ruffle some feathers! It reminds us that sometimes she’s just not that into you either buddy, get over yourself! On the other hand, the gents sing their songs of seduction and a gratitude for our beautiful world. There’s a little something for every soul!
