2011 was certainly a busy year for us with as many ups as downs, but we certainly can’t complain about the last few months!

In August we were contacted by Nathan Rightnour, manager and producer at Liquid Cinema. This premium music  library is owned by award-winning film composer Jeff Rona and its catalogue has found its way into APM Music. Nathan informed us that they were putting together a cello-based album with two highly acclaimed cellists – Christof Unterberger and Martin Tillman – and asked us whether we’d be interested in submitting a few of our own tracks for the album. Needless to say we did not need convincing and got straight down to the business of finding out what they had in mind. We composed and recorded eleven new tracks from scratch between September and Decmeber – some of which can be heard on our Music page. We will of course be very vocal when the album is released later this year.

Earlier in the year, we completed our own album which we named Metamorphosis – based on the fact that each of the eight tracks started out as a large scale orchestral work and was then “re-imagined” for cello ensemble or chamber orchestra and cello. We were very excited about the concept and thoroughly enjoyed the creative process. But once we finished in July we were a little uncertain of where it would best belong. We agonised for a while, then decided to send it to Immediate Music – one of our favourite trailer music libraries. We didn’t expect a reply knowing that Immediate happens to be one of the most selective libraries in the business, but felt we had nothing to loose giving it a punt. So imagine our speechless astonishment when we heard back from Yoav Goren – lead composer and co-founder – telling us he’d like to represent all eight tracks! We signed a five year exclusive agreement with them during the first week of January and look forward to seeing where our music will find itself in their incredibly capable hands!
