Notes by Frank Ferrucci - December 2009
I have now released 2 new CD's of my music on Baioca Records. Jewel Eyes, now on CD with a new mix of Aurora which features Gato Barbieri, with whom I played for 10 years. This track has been re-mixed by Paul Special and includes a new solo track by guitarist Bill Washer. I've had the CD re-mastered by Luiz Tornaghi, the two time Grammy winner in Rio de Janeiro. Luiz has also mastered a an upcoming release of my Music of the Americas Ensemble, which has 13 tracks covering 2 sessions featuring an all star cast of Latin and Brazilian jazz musicians, including Claudio Roditi, Dick Oatts, Mario Rivera, Conrad Herwig, Roland Briseño, Romero Lubambo, Lincoln Goines, Frank Gravis, Bernard Purdie, Richie Morales, Kim Plainfield, Phoenix Rivera, Cyro Baptista, Daniel Ponce, Joe Gonzalez, Isidro Bobadilla, Endel Dueño, Freddy Diaz, Paul Wegman, Dan Carter, and Rudy Calzado. I'm very excited about getting all 3 of these CD out there. I've dedicated the album to my friend Mario Rivera with whom I had the pleasure of sharing some great music.
Film Music Inspired by the Indian Railway, a project that I developed over several years has reached a wide audience since its release last December. Some of the music has appeared in the The National Geographic™film, "The Great Indian Railway", Directed by William Livingston, which I originally scored in 1994. I'm happy to make this music available on CD on my new record label, Baioca Records which I formed last year to feature and distribute my music.
Liner notes, more information, web clips, and links to purchase the CD or download the music are available on my Discography page on this web site. Just click the orange Discography button on the left.
About the Web Site
The site has two distinct areas for you to explore. Once area (this one) is devoted to my work as a film composer, musician and recording artist. On the Discography page you can listen to cuts from my recordings and view liner notes and my personal session comments. You can also browse the Filmography page and listen to excerpts from the films I've scored. I've included some personal notes about the film scores and their recording sessions, You can also listen online to montages (actually online reels) of my film music. There is a Biography page as well. And this page, What's New.
The second area of the site, which can be accessed by the green Search buttons throughout the site, is a searchable database of my Production Music Library. Over 2500 selections are currently available (more to be added soon) for licensing for use in film, television, web sites, videos and DVD. You can search for music by Keyword, Genre, Style, Mood, Instrument and/or Tempo, create, name and save Select Lists, then download the lists as .zip files and immediately import the contained lo-fi mp3s into Avid or Final Cut (or any other video editing workstation) to quickly audition them to picture at your convenience. You will obtain hi-quality versions of the cues when you obtain a license from us to use them. More information about the database is available on the "How This Site Works" page.
