Why Production Music Helps Your Project
Hello Everybody
I just had a few thoughts about production music and how it enhances you project.
Here at Creative Digital, we write and record audio tours for entertainment attractions like Titanic, Bodies, the Exhibition, The Edgar Allen Poe Museum, etc.
In the past, you would just go to these exhibits, and at stop 1, you would read a blurb about what you are seeing, them move on to the next….all this was fine, but it wasn’t very entertaining, and the guy behind you had to wait for you to finish before he or she could read the information.
Now, in this world where we are entertained most of the time with our Ipods and video games, these attractions use audio tours to create a complete experience for their customers.
These tours consist of a voice which becomes your tour guide, music, and sound effects to create an audio “scene” that puts you in the moment . The person taking the tour uses in many cases, an Ipod or mp3 player to go from stop to stop, with the advantage of going at his or her own pace, and even skipping stops of no interest. The voice tells the story, and the music helps set the mood for the different stops along the way. The voice and the production music can create a sad, happy, energetic, dramatic, or any other type mood. Also, period music, that is, music from the particular time associated with the stop, helps set the tone and takes you back in time to the particular era. If there is a horse and buggy scene, a little banjo music is good, along with some sound effects of horses and other things that might be in the scene.
Have a scene with computers? How about a little techno to portray the technological advances of today…Music libraries like Kwiksounds Music Library, provide many types of royalty free music that you can use in your projects, at an affordable price. You can order these right off the website and download them at your convienience.
That’s it for today…..
Yak soon
