Royalty Free Production Music by 2b is used by major broadcasters and production companies around the world. Read more about where our music will be appearing next...
Dec 2009 - We always love to hear about how our music is used and we seem to be popular with game developers of late. Several iPhone and iPod apps now incorporate our music including the beautifully drawn children's education/entertainment title OccupyBaby.
Meanwhile, German FLASH game developer Flashecke have put together a very nice re-make of the classic Battleships game, featuring our dramatic orchestral track
'War Machine'.
Nov 2007 - In this recession-hit year, use of library usic on TV has soared, while producers cut back on the higher cost of bespoke compositions. So being asked to produce a title music package for The Boxing Files came as a welcome relief. Our knockout intro will be hitting Channel 4 soon, in the first round of the series.
Aug 2008 - Matthew Mascheri kindly shared the news with us that his production "Second City" won the Harmony Channel Award for "Best Full-Dome Mood Elevating Visual-Music". Colin's track "Time Lapse" was featured on the production, which shows time-lapse sequences of Chicago through a fisheye lens. Congratulations to Matt - this must look amazing in a dome theatre! Check out the 2D version on YouTube.
Oct 2007 - We took a call on the afternoon of Friday 26th October, from a London advertising agency in desperate need of some music, having had a copyright clearance rejected very late in the day. The ad was due for delivery to broadcasters
on the Monday and they had no music to go with! 2b took up the challenge and within just one hour had come up with something the agency were delighted with - having trawled through many offerings from major production music libraries and top UK composers. Their client agreed and the whole package was
completed over the weekend and safely delivered for it's first showing on Monday 29th October. The "Toast" commercial for 888 Poker is part of a $12 Million advertising campaign and will be broadcast worldwide.
Aug 2007 - Two further dramas, for which 2b have provided incidental music, are reaching the final stages of production. Torn is showing on ITV1 in September, with
The Last Enemy to follow later in the year on BBC. Both productions took full advantage of the savings to be made through the use of royalty free music on their international versions.
One of the directors was returning for a second time having experienced our help on a previous series.
May 2007 - 'Wind In The Sails'
has been selected for a commercial to air on ITV this summer. There are many advertisers operating on a tight budgets, especially those using radio, the internet and regional television
as their medium. 2b Royalty Free offer extended licenses at extremely low rates in order to help these businesses hit the ground running
. Check us out for your next commercial!
Apr 2007 - The Guernica Children is being repeated on BBC4 on 25th April. This harrowing documentary about the refugee children of the Spanish civil war is also currently being extended for cinema and DVD release.
All the music from the film was specially composed by 2b and is available in the downloads section for use on your next feature.
Feb 2007 - Channel 5's new two part drama is a main feature in the Radio Times. Kitchen, featuring Eddie Izzard, is now receiving critical acclaim and alongside the gritty, modern score
by Derek Gleeson, four tracks from 2b Royalty Free play a key role in the scene setting. One of them,
'I Remember When',
is a romantic jazz ballad, specially written and recorded within hours to the delight of the production team who were already in the last days of a busy editing schedule. Expect to see this one at the BAFTAs this year.
Nov 2006 - Title music and all the incidental music tracks have been delivered this month for the latest series by renowned fishing broadcaster John Wilson - Look out for
Dream Fishing on Discovery Home & Leisure.
Oct 2006 - Channel 4's new international football magazine show
Goalissimo starts a 106 programme run this month with specially commissioned
title music by 2b-media.
Sept 2006 - ITV1's Haunted Homes makes great use of 2b's Designer
Soundscapes album. The wall-to-wall soundtrack is constructed from a combination
of the main album tracks, extensive use of the Soundtrack Tools layers and
effects, and more ghostly original music by Colin Willsher.
