New Before/After Media Series Installment!

Tweex Music is FINALLY back this week with a new Before/After installment for you!  There have been a few project in the last few weeks that has had the studio going full speed.  I’m looking forward to presenting it all soon!

In the meantime, T|M brings you a great Before/After example coming from the “Dawg Talk” project that Tweex Music worked on.  When T|M signed on with the production, the theme song was the concentration.  After talking with the director of the project, we decided that we wanted something simple, but also something that sounded like a marching band.  We went through a lot of different ideas, but the melody concept we finally found came from a simple piano recording.  From there, the production took form.  Listen to the Before/After here:

As you can hear, the two sound very VERY different.  They even convey different tones/feelings.  There aren’t many directors out there who have the ability to imagine what something like this would sound like with just a piano representation, but John Kundert-Gibbs is one of those.  The final product came out splendidly and the evolution of the piece is nothing short of monumental!

Be sure to check back VERY soon.  A couple new projects are about to be released and you will not want to miss them!

Tweex Music Composes Theme Music for New Educational Web Series

Monday is here again, and T|M brings a new project for you to hear!  Tweex Music has composed the main theme for a new educational web series call Dawg Talk.  The project is being completed by professors at The University of Georgia.  John Kundert-Gibbs, the writer, director, and editor, is a professor in the Theatre and Film Studies Department and has spearheaded the creative production.

The project has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the series is meant to inspire thought on issues in today’s society.  The first video entry deals with the ever growing problem of our economy and its effect on peoples lives.  The series is meant to be portrayed as a “web cam” type production.  The show is hosted by a college student who is going out to find answers and interview different people.

When talking with John about the creative direction of the music, he conveyed an interest in something that would be upbeat and that sounded like a marching band.  Since not all episodes will be focusing on issues this intense, we agreed that the music needed to be peppy and catchy!  Well, T|M answered the call with just that:

The video is still being completed and is not ready for release quite yet, however, when it’s finished, we will post details on how to view it.  Having seen the edit so far, the production is excellently done and really does make you think on the issue.  This first installment is the “trial run” for the series.  We are hoping to take this concept on to new heights with the help of the NSF.

Enjoy the music and check back soon for details on how to see the movie as well as new T|M project news!
