Cathe-Question: your choices in music?

[kweller]

Cathe-
I am curious as to how you pick your music. For example, one of the songs on the Body Blast series (Sleeping Satellite) is a pretty obscure IMO. I liked it so much I ended up buying the (Tasmin Archer) CD - I had never heard of Tasmin Archer before.
What I'm wondering specifically is if you request remixes of particular songs, or, if your music producers come up with a bunch of stuff for you to listen to - and you pick songs from the crop. Or is it somewhere in between?

In any case, I love most of the music that you choose, Cathe, and the few times I don't, I have complete respect for your choices, because they are always very original. I find the music you choose for your workouts the most motivational of any video workouts. Thanks for your care in the music.

Kathy

Hi Kathy! Thank you Its very nice to know that you are enjoying the music and all that surrounds creating the soundtracks.

Actually it is all of those you mentioned. Sometimes we work with musicians and create songs from scratch( but that is very time consuming so we can't do that too often), sometimes we choose from an existing "video-ready-license-approved" song list, and sometimes we remix existing "video ready" songs with other "video ready" songs to create a new and refreshing sound.

Most of the time I am pleased with the outcome, but sometimes there is just not enough music available in the time frame that we need it and I have to make the best with what's available.

Thanks for asking and have a great day!
