Traveling to Reno for a weekend hit with the Alan Parsons Live Project. Got home from the West Coast Triple Play late Sunday, did some laundry and got in quality time with Franchy & Jill, and now I’m back out thru Sunday again. iPod is loaded with fresh ELO, up-to-the-minute photos of Franchy are on the Mac. Life is grand.
Watched “Real Estate Intervention” on HGTV last nite. Listening to the score, I heard a string pattern and drum beat that sounded familiar; realized that they were both loops that come built-in with GarageBand on the Mac. So it’s now THAT EASY to score a TV show?
We’ve come a long way, haven’t we! Quincy Jones spent the better part of the 60′s and 70′s busting his ass writing and arranging scores for Ironside, Roots, The Pawnbroker, etc., and basically worked himself almost to death doing it. Now we open up a pre-installed computer app, click and drag a little, and presto! Instant Cash. Interesting.
Meanwhile, I’m looking around for an online music service that allows me to upload, and then sell, one song at a time. I record one song at a time, and I no longer want to wait until I’ve got ten of them finished and mastered and printed on shiny discs with artwork to bring them to market. Any ideas? Send us your thoughts to jm (at) johnmontagna (dot) com.
Be well
