library music

[thembuzz]

you'll all probably laugh at me, but i've kind of developed this obsession with library music, right? (it's from watching too much itv nightscreen over the years) and i wondered if any of you know of any good places to buy it from

i've done a perfunctory scan of the internet but i'm far too lazy to actually look. anyone help?

What, like jobfinder type music?

[bitch one]

anything by mandingo is worth getting, there's a fair few on a compilation called 'the sound gallery'

[kams]

Didn't Luke Vibert do a compilation of his favourite library stuff, old moogy 70's things I think.

the library section of http://frenchattack.com/ is good.

that's the fellah. it's contemporary stuff i'm after mostly. i love it - superficially bland and faceless, yet scratch the surface and it's mental. like a serial killer

there are some geniuses working in that field

library music rulez... i worked at a library for over one year. i even got to order in the music for the library i worked at. very good stuff. everything from Stan getz to Wu-tang clan to ladytron to va - synewave compilation to refused and more... plus, not only music. books overall kicks ass. think i barrowed over 250books the year i worked there. so much fun to place in the shelfs that i took it home instead and read it...

very good very good.

I remember when they started to introduce acid lines and 808 cowbells into the music on jobfinder, way before they started doing it in adverts and stuff. I think they even had a competition to write some music for job finder. I never got round to it though.

Man I love it too. I don't know where you'd get hold of it either... I'm actually really into writing stuff like that, using 99% General Midi sounds, pure melody, and just a few subliminal disturbo-sounds in the backing.

Yeah, it was proper General Midi hotel lobby wine bar special music.

yeah, i've been toying with the idea of getting in on that game for ages, too. but i hear it's a tough industry to break into. curiously enough, the companies that buy the music are extremely picky

but, hell. i've got all this gm shit at my disposal - it's not getting used for anything else

Heh... back when I was in an early line-up of Chungking we had a period of trying to pitch for adverts, through some flakey old coke-bloke. Put fucking hours of work in, minutely synching short bits of music to ads... in the end the only paying job we ever got was a foot fetish film. That was funny enough in itself but one of the band had a serious foot phobia, and was made quite ill by having to watch all these pictures of feet over and over and over...
