Paying homage to the genre of Library Music, furthering its exposure to a new
generation of listeners.
Library Music experienced its heyday in the 60s and 70s, as thousands of
instrumental tracks were produced by musicians and composers for the purpose
of placements in Radio, Television, and Film. This rich piece of European music
history would go on to inform genres to come and speak heavily to the Jazz,
Funk, and Hip Hop communities of the future. This was often a musician's frst
opportunity to become a composer, or what most would commonly know now as
producer of music. These composers would work with a stable of musicians to
record 100's of tracks that would go into a publishing Library. The pieces of music
were recorded quickly and deliberately. The composers, musicians, and engineers
understood their role in the process, it was an act of discipline amongst all
involved. Often the composer was given a brief on what the end goal was for the
client. The specifcs would include tempo to lock into, song ending time, etc.
Never before have these tracks from the Cavendish Music Library been pressed
on 7" vinyl at 45RPM. The collection includes compositions by Tony Kinsey, John
Scott, Sam Fonteyn, Ray Davies, and more.
There's a boldness to Library music. It's in the forward nature of where the drums
sit in the mix and the percussive playing of the keys that gives you something to
grab hold of, it feels grounded yet exciting. It's music beamed in from a different
galaxy!
