Audio Network is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an investment by Screen East to develop an authentic national and ethnic film music catalogue. This award is made under the Regional Investment Fund for England supported by the Film Council.

Audio Network represents an Oscar winning team of Hollywood based sound designers and 50 leading UK based media composers including Evelyn Glennie, Chris Blackwell and John Dankworth.

The award winning publisher of music and sound services to the national & international film and television markets will develop and promote the new catalogue alongside its existing music and sound effects libraries.

The exiting catalogue can be previewed at the company’s web site www.audiolicense.net

Laurie Hayward from Screen East said “This is a great opportunity for young musicians to work with Audio Network’s experienced team of writers and producers of film music as the project requires the services of a large number of composers and musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds”.

Audio Network’s Creative Director, Andrew Sunnucks added “Our customers are increasingly looking for authentic sounds from around the world for use in their productions and we are therefore delighted to have received this investment to help develop this important part of our business”.

Musicians wishing to participate in the recording sessions or with unpublished original recordings are invited to send samples of their work to Audio Network at School Farm Studios, Little Maplestead, Halstead, Essex, C09 2SN, England.
