Musical Chairs
Composer/producer Jeremy Adelman, formerly with Music for Picture, New York, has partnered with independent rep Samanta Balassa to form Motive, a New York-based music/sound design house. (Balassa continues to rep via R2, New York.) During his tenure at Music for Picture, Adelman’s work as a composer headed SHOOT‘s quarterly Top 10 Tracks chart–in Aug. ’03 for Volkswagen’s “Trailer” and in Jan. ’04 for VW’s “Rewire.” Both spots were for Arnold Worldwide, Boston. Adelman’s two former partners–producer Ben Davis and composer Peter DuCharme–continue to maintain Music for Picture…… Composer/producer Jamie Lamm has wrapped a major restructuring of his Fearless Music, New York. A driving force behind the changed scope of Fearless Music is a TV show of the same name, Fearless Music, which Lamm has spent the past year creating and honing. The weekly series on Time Warner Cable’s channel 35 in New York showcases performances by up-and-coming indie rock groups. Now the show’s talent base has been integrated into the company Fearless Music, which makes this diverse pool of fresh musical talent, including composers, available to the advertising community. Also for the series, Lamm turned his Hells Kitchen space into a broader based hybrid commercial music house/production company/recording studio with a full complement of broadcast-quality video , editing and audio equipment. The first band to make the leap into spotwork via Fearless Music was Getaway Car, whose musical prowess was brought to bear on a Pontiac Vibe campaign for Vigilante Advertising, New York…..Icarus Music, a Lakewood, Calif.-based boutique music production company best known for scoring TV series (for The Discovery Channel, Learning Channel National Geographic, PBS, Turner Broadcasting, Animal Planet) is looking to diversify into the spot arena. Icarus composer/principals Marta Victoria and Eddie Freeman are in the process of securing sales representation for commercials. The company is no stranger to shorter form fare, having already scored two promos for the Discovery Channel series Engineering Marvels. And earlier in her career as a freelancer, Victoria worked with several West Coast agencies, including Hal Riney & Partners (now Publicis & Hal Riney), San Francisco…..Category:News
