Tweex Music Announces Anniversary Contest Winners

Happy Friday everyone!  Many of you may remember that last week I announced a contest in which 3 lucky winners would win a free copy of my debut album, Alter Ego, and a preview of a new project that I’m working on, only know now as Project: Binary.  Well, this week, the three winners have been chosen at random and I’m here to announce them!  Without stalling any longer, the winners are:

Kira, UK
Joseph, Australia
Melissa, USA

The winners have been sent an email to claim their prize.  However, since there was so much support and interest in the contest, I didn’t want you all to go away empty handed!  So, I decided to make a second very small sample of another piece from Project: Binary.  This piece is still in the conceptual phase, but I wanted to give a little something back to you all!  The piece will be available for streaming here on the site, but I will email all of the contestants an MP3 copy that they can download to put on a CD, iPod, etc.  Take a quick gander at this:

And there you have it!  This has been a big week here at T|M.  Congratulations to the winners of the contest and many many thanks to all those who entered!  There are some very exciting additions coming to the site very soon.  I’m just waiting to receive master copies of some projects, so be sure to check back very soon!  We’ll be back with a new update early this next week, so stay tuned!

Tweex Music 1 Year Anniversary: Alter Ego Album Giveaway

Hello my people.  Long time no see.  The wedding went wonderfully and the honeymoon was fantastic.  It has been a busy week being back in the studio/office, but there have been some AWESOME developments so stay tuned.

However, this week, we are focusing on the one year anniversary of the T|M website.  There have been quite a few updates, projects, and site advancements since then.  New airline commercials including Delta and US Air, new animations from some of the top animators being produced today, new original music and themes, and new media series to show people what I do exactly.  Well, it’s time to celebrate!

I’m going to be giving out 3 free copies of my debut album, Alter Ego!  Not only that, but I will be giving out a preview track from a new project I’m working on.  Without releasing too much, I can tell you that it’s current being called Project: Binary.  Outside of that, I won’t release any more information.  The 3 winners will get a very special sneak peek at what’s to come, and believe me, you don’t want to miss it!

The rules are simple:

1. Send an email to contest@tweexmusic.com
2. Make the subject line something about the contest
3. Include your first name and the country you live in

And THAT’S IT.  I’ll accept emails up until Thursday, August 5th, 12:00 AM EST and then choose 3 winners at random.  I’ll announce the winners on Thursday or Friday and send out the emails with the copy of the album!

In the meantime, enjoy the site and all the media that’s now on it!  There are some awesome additions coming out soon, so don’t stray too far!

Tweex Music Composes New Music for Delta Airlines Commercial

Tweex Music is back this week with a new airline commercial for you!  This time around, T|M presents new music for Delta Airlines.  Tweex Music did a another spot for Delta back in 2008 and had music from my debut album, Alter Ego, featured in the spot, which you can LISTEN TO and DOWNLOAD for free!

This time around, T|M was able to compose an original piece of music for the spot.  The idea was to come up with something peppy but also laid back.  Being a big fan of genre fusion, I decided to create a piece that had classical elements (chamber strings), contemporary guitar solo, electronic synths, and tribal/ethnic percussion.  If you had to categorize the piece, it would probably be in the ever so popular Classic-Hop-Contemp-Electro-World genre!  Or as we in the business like to call it, “Indie” .  The final product came out quite well.  Check it out for yourself:

As always, the spot can be found of the SFX PAGE along with all the other airline spots that T|M has had the priveldge to work on!  Tweex Music continues to keep very busy and has some exciting updates on the way so be sure to check back soon!

T|M Has New Music in American Airlines Duty Free Commercial

Tweex Music is back with a NEW addition to the airline commercial series!  This time around, T|M has placed music in the new American Airlines duty free spot.  The music may sound familiar as it is both music found in the US Airways Commercial and is the popular track from T|M’s debut album Alter Ego, entitled “Finding the Pocket.”  A review of the piece can be found on the US Airways News Post, so we will get right to the spot.  This commercial was an odd time in comparison to the others; right at 2 minutes.  This was great as it allowed Tweex Music to showcase the track a bit more.  With out further delay, here is the spot:

Like the other videos, this one can also be found on the SFX DESIGN PAGE.  Be sure to check back soon with more news as there are some very exciting projects/announcements on the horizon that will certainly excite you!  Enjoy the music.

Tweex Music Releases Free Song for Download from Alter Ego Album

Tweex Music is proud to release a song to download for FREE from the T|M debut album, Alter Ego.  The track for download is called Bipolar. It was the first song that was composed for the Alter Ego album.  The track has been used in short films, radio programs, and was featured in the Delta Airlines Duty Free Spot that T|M was selected for!

When the track was being composed, it was structured in a way to allow for a guest soloist to put down his or her idea.  That person ended up being Jimmy ‘BGC’ Hinson, a good friend from over at the OC Remix community (and a current judge!).  The synth solo that kicks in about halfway through the track is a driving, pumping part that gives the track a beating heart!  Jimmy has been doing music for years and works as a freelance writer/composer for the Scripps Network and his talent speaks for itself!  Take a listen to the track:

Alter Ego was released in June of 2008 and has seen some fantastic sales!  Several tracks from the album have been placed in current film, radio, televesion, and website projects!  Listen and enjoy “Bipolar” and be sure to hop over to the Tweex Music Store to pick up your full digital copy of the album!  There are still one or two physical copies over at CD Baby so if you want a hard copy, act now!

Check back soon for more Alter Ego news, updates, and offers, not to mention some very exciting news for T|M!

Tweex Music Composes Original Music for US Airways Duty Free Commercial

Tweex Music is back this week with a new addition to the Airline episodes.  This time around, Tweex Music debuts its composition for US Airways.  This piece is particularly special in that it uses a piece of music found on the Tweex Music debut album, Alter Ego. The track, “Finding the Pocket,” was selected for this run of duty free spots for US Airways.  The original featured the expertise of Jon “JJT” Titterington on the clavichord.  While the clav solo didn’t make it into the spot, it was still masterfully done and I highly recommend checking it out.

This is the second track from the Alter Ego library to make an appearance in an airline duty free commercial with the first being the DELTA DUTY FREE COMMERCIAL that aired about a year ago.  Alter Ego has seen some additional usage in some forthcoming airline projects, so be sure to keep your eyes out for that.

Alter Ego has been on the market now for a little over a year and album sales are still rockin’ along.  I recommend visiting the DISCOGRAPHY PAGE to listen to some samples from the album and then feel free to head over to the TWEEX MUSIC STORE to purchase your digital copy today.  However, for those of you who enjoy the music coming from a physical CD, there are still a few (and we do mean a few) in stock over at CD BABY.  With an album that covers all different genres in one CD, you are sure to find something you love.  US Airways certainly did, so can you!

As always, the US Airways spot can be found on the SFX DESIGN PAGE and be sure to check back soon as new updates and announcements are forthcoming!
