Introduction:New holiday music! Perfect for those locked in cramped editing bays forced to produce scores of overly-happy calls to consumerism.
Label Name:VHEX
-
Fun, wintry modern Dance/Pop. Starts happy and shiny with swirling synths, then switches to driving drums and guitar. Gets really energetic @:20 with layers of twirling synths joining the party. 80s sampled vocals @:30 add mystery and drama, especially @:47. Good for retail/commercials, generic image spots or anything holiday-related that needs a touch of bounce and attitude.
-
Tense, dramatic holiday music. Insistent strings and modern electronics let you know Mrs. Claus has been kidnapped - and Santa's out for justice. Fast double-time strings @:32 raise the tension ante. Comes back in @:47 with full strings and bells. Works for elven standoffs, snowmen drive-by's or reindeer crime sprees.
-
A totally reimagined swing version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from The Nutcracker. A jaunty, bouncy romp through Tchaikovsky's holiday standard. Has breakdown @:56 with walking bass and drums @1:00. Playful, frisky and fun - great for comedies, cartoons, mishaps, kids or misadventures.
-
Happy heartland holidays! Timeless American Pop/Rock with a touch of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is great for family gatherings, retail, image spots or commercials. Comes back to the carol @:58.
-
Retro-modern soul with wintry keyboards and a soul-warming Stax-like horn section. Combines classic 60s feel with modern production. Cozy and nostalgic while still feeling thoroughly modern. Solo Wurlitzer @:30 provides a tender moment before slowly building back up @:55 for the feel-good finish.
-
This dark - but not too dark - cue is perfect for when the holiday season turns ugly. All the clichés are there: minor strings, harp, bells and, @:14, an urgent choir. Useful for overly-greedy kids, shopping hell and the holidays gone awry in general. Becomes extra urgent from :48 until the end.
-
Straight-up holiday Pop/Punk. Happily chugging guitars with bright melodies and bells are perfect for strapping on leather wristbands and flirting with the kids at Abercrombie. Good for tweens, shopping, and holiday sales.
-
Anthemic Indie-Rock music. Fuzzy guitars, strings, seventeen kinds of bells and driving drums come together to create a sense of warm-heartedness without being cheesy. Tremolo guitars (in @:10) add just enough edge to keep things interesting along the way. Gets really big @:25. Has wide-open section @:32 that would be good as an alternate beginning. Great when you want to say something important and meaningful without being mushy about it.
-
We took out the Xmas-y stuff for a perky Dance/Pop/Rock track suitable for use all year-round.
-
Modern, sexy club music - with sleighbells. Much dancier - and naughtier - than the original, with sexy club beats, much less swirling synths, and an updated 80s feel.
-
Sexy, dirty, club music with a 2010s-via-the-80s vibe that's significantly different from the original. Melody in @:16 is mysteriously naughty. Breaks it down @1:22 until it slinks back in @1:30. Good for doing bad things and enjoying them.
-
Classic orchestral drama with modern accents. Moderately-tense staccato strings open this track, which adds big hits and more strings until the first big climax @:29. A double-time string figure kicks off the second half, building all the way to the end. Generically useful for drama.
-
Yup. Same piece. No sleighbells.
-
Smaller version than the original.
-
Non-holiday-fied version without sleighbells, and glockenspiel. Same great 60s.
-
Right up-the-middle orchestral drama cut. Staccato strings, harp and choir set a timeless stage for conflict. Good "time's running out" section @:45. Great for parodies, kids drama or when you need to add tension without blowing up the world.
-
Same happy Pop/Punk - no holiday aftertaste. Good for tweens and kids.
-
Just like the original, minus those pesky bells.
