Keeping Score at DC48

Good evening everyone

It's been a while since I last blogged, with good reason. We have been busy everyday/night working with clients and developing BSMG. We have been working mostly with vocal artists since we started BSMG. We breifly and uneventfully worked with a client music for a website but he ended up moving to FL for work and things changed.

We went to a Film/Post Production event this past week. We met some pretty awesome people who were semi-surprisingly supportive. Lucky for us there was only one other composer/music producer there (out of 50-60 people). I went to his website and he has a great sound using mostly live instruments. That alone is impressive and rare.

To keep this short, with in two hours of getting home that night we received an email from a producer. Without hesitation asked if we would score his movie. He is entering a pretty big film competition this up coming weekend. The competition started D.C. almost 10 years ago and it's called The 48hour Film Project. Check out the details via the website ref below.

We met the producer this Saturday (yesterday) and agreed to score his film. It's an exciting time for us. The competition starts Friday at 7pm ending 48 hours later. We will have about 7-9 hours to score the film (it can't be longer than 7 mins per 48film Project rules).

We will keep you posted as the week moves along and we begin to prepare.

This Week in BSMG News (kinda like CNN but better)

This week we have been fairly and happily swamped with client work.

We are waiting for a contract to come through for one of our clients.

We spoke to a potential new client today and found out she teamed up with a rapper to become a duo. We are coordinating a meet up this weekend.

We emailed newly established client, AD, to let him know we are gearing up to start the development of his demo songs. He is going for an Al Green/Adele mix type sound.

Tomorrow we are meeting a film editor in MD to discuss his music needs and interest in what BSMG can provide.

This has all happened in the past week which gives us late nights and a lot to be excited about. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

P.S. Big shout out to Eric Emerick, BSMG COO. I couldn't do this without him. He's the backbone of what you read on this blog.

American Idol = A.D.

A blog or so ago we talked about our run in with the "American Idol" waiter at the Melting Pot (we will call him A.D. for now). A couple days after we initially met, A.D. contacted us with an interest in discussing potential music collaboration opportunities.

This afternoon, after playing phone tag for a couple days, we met up with A.D. over lunch. The conversation went pretty smooth. We chatted a bit about where each of us is from, interest, etc... and of course music biz. All in all I think the three of us (including Eric, BSMG COO) walked away excited and eager to work together. A.D. gave me input on the type of sound he is interested and it appears we have similar taste. Some of his favorite artists include Adele, John Legend, and Al Green. One of his favorite all time songs is "Love and Happiness" by Al Green. This is an absolute classic released almost 40 years ago on HI Records. I actually have the original record/album (real record) in my studio.

So yeah, things are moving along with A.D. and we are now in the development stages of creating a demo song he can sing over. We have another client at the moment I am putting in a lot of hours on. Once that project begins to wrap up we'll be moving onto the A.D. project.
