NEW MUSIC LIBRARY FROM DIRECTORS CUTS

EXTREME Music, a UK based production company, has joined forces with Media Ventures Entertainment Group, to create a new film score production music library christened Directors Cuts.
The launch of Directors Cuts brings together the creative powers of Extreme Music and Media Ventures to offer epic orchestral Hollywood film score sound composed by some of the world’s most talented and highly acclaimed composers for the first time.
Directors Cuts will feature original orchestral film score compositions for licensing in film, television and radio programming; advertisements, and all media. Media Ventures’ contributing composers, include Hans Zimmer who received an Academy Award for best sound for the score of ‘Gladiator’.
Russell Emanuel, Managing Director of Extreme Music, said: “Quite simply we are not only setting a new standard but offering a collection of music and level of quality that has never been available before in this arena.
“The only way to get that big Hollywood blockbuster sound prior to Directors Cuts would be to commission a major film score. We feel that Directors Cuts is a fantastic addition to our existing contemporary and classical products.”
Jay Rifkin, Co-Founder of Media Ventures Entertainment Group added: “This original concept will create a superb, user-friendly catalyst for the producer to access our unique sound. Extreme Music has a growing reputation as a cutting-edge music production company with an innovative approach to supplying high quality music across the globe. We look forward to seeing the fruits of this original concept and enjoying a successful and long-term relationship with our new partners.”
Established four years ago by Russell Emanuel and Dolph Taylor, Extreme Music ranks as one of the leading independent music production companies in the UK. With offices in, London, Los Angeles, Stockholm and Dublin, the company’s profile and rapid expansion continues with offices opening across Europe and worldwide.
Extreme Music has accompanied an abundance of high profile TV projects such as, ‘Sex & the City’ and ‘Frasier’.
Headquartered in Santa Monica, Media Ventures Entertainment Group is the product of a 25-year partnership between Academy-Award winning composer Hans Zimmer and Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Rifkin. Teaming up in 1988 to establish a studio for the writing and production of music for film, television and commercials, this facility has since attracted a long list of talent and currently houses ten resident composers.
Awards include an Academy Award for Best Original Score for ‘The Lion King’ and a nomination for Best Original Score for ‘Gladiator’. (AMcE)
