Our
movie is finished; it naturally follows that our soundtrack
has been finalized. You can submit new music for the movie
if you want, but honestly, you'd only be making an ass of
yourself. We DO, however, wish to thank everyone who submitted
music to us--even if we didn't use your stuff, your contributions
kept our musical scope really wide and helped us create a
better score.
The
Friedman brothers trolled for music here and there through
the months, making note of songs or musicians that might find
a place in the movie. Especially near the end of postproduction,
the boys would spend long hours searching through submissions,
CD's, online music libraries such as licensemusic.com and
mp3.com, and file-sharing services such as Morpheus. (Anyone
who doubts the usefulness or legitimacy of these services
should consider that we found several leads through them,
downloading hundreds of MP3's and then PURCHASING the CD's
of the ones we wanted, in addition to arranging licensing
deals which could bring them additional money if the film
is successful.) The music editor, Matthew, experimented with,
edited, and "orchestrated" possible underscore songs
while the director, Jonathan, worked the phones and faxes
to try and arrange licensing. Some leads were dead ends, due
to the inflexible bureaucrats who run the music business,
while some of these bands and record labels seemed way too
big to care about us but then turned out be extremely understanding
once Jonathan talked to them. He managed, through persistence
and honest explanations of our project and its budgetary limitations,
to work up relationships with people and arrange some pretty
amazing deals. The local bands, of course, were all happy
to help us and you should go buy their CD's immediately.

Now this one was tough. Grew up with their

we worked out an okay deal.
