615 Music updates site with new news music for WSFL-TV and KTLA-TV

615 Music has updated its site with some recent work including a package created for WSFL-TV and KTLA-TV.

The package for WSFL-TV, which debuted a few weeks ago, features an upbeat pace and light acoustics. The package is used for WSFL-TV’s morning show “The Morning Show” and is named “First Report.” The package works well for a morning show setting and lacks the usual full orchestral, sweeping, urgent tempos found in 615’s regular news music.

KTLA-TV’s package, named “Connect,” features a unique sonic brand that helps create a multi-note theme for the entire package. The package contains 11 main themes and over 565 mix outs and cuts. This package is more well rounded and features various cues you would expect from a full news music package with a more urgent pace and tone.

It’s interesting to note that both packages have a disclaimer in the descriptions that “This package is not available for licensing.” Is 615 Music doing more custom work that is on an exclusive basis or did these clients just want a different license?

615 Music composes custom package for WSB-TV

615 Music has updated their site with a new packaged called “Coverage.” It appears the package is composed for WSB-TV, the Atlanta ABC affiliate. We cannot confirm if this package has debuted on WSB-TV as of yet, but currently the NMSA lists WSB-TV as still using News 2000 by Music Partners.

The package uses a rock and percussion base and features 16 themes and over 900 cuts. The package draws heavily on big percussion beats and then a rock theme with orchestral stabs emerge. With 16 themes, this package has many many variations and sounds different than recent 615 Music work.

615 composes new Web site

615 Music, the Nashville-based news and production music company, has unveiled a new Web site completed with a new branding direction.

The new site’s design is based around their new image of music composers and figures, featuring a bold picture of a score conductor on the homepage from their Score Stage Series. The site retained most of the same content as their old site, with some tweaking still to be done. It appears some old information was reverted to, as some packages are now labeled their previous names.

The site also has more original music samples including over 75 samples of various works from trailer scoring Today show music.
