Last month on this page we mentioned a couple of big contracts we were working on. Well it wasn't just a transparent marketing lie, the results of the negotiations is a big fat contract with Val Morgan Cinema Advertising, to compose, record and produce a music library for their cinema presentations. For more information, go to the Val Morgan link on the left. We've also been working on a series with Freerange Animation, for details on that one go to theTV Shows link on the left. Todd Hardy is the blarter music trumpet player of choice. You can hear his work for us in "TV1'S COOL SUMMER", "CHANNEL YOUR ENERGY INTO ONE", and "MOVE YOUR SWEET FEET TO THE REPEAT BEAT", all downloadable from the TV I.D.'s page on the left. Todd has just launched a CD (The Todd Hardy Quartet CD) which we would love to help him with, so if you like his work on the abovementioned tracks, drop us an email, and we'll organise to get one out to you. We're yet to post images from our "VENI, VIDI, SHOPPI !" research and development trip to Italy and the U.K. but they're not far away now. (veni vidi shoppi is of course a quote from Julius Caesar after his all conquering trip to the Armani factory outlet in Milano. It means: "I came. I saw. I shopped.") THE G.S.T. SONG. In a recent fax out, we referred to our attempt to release a song about the G.S.T. We planned to re-record the AC/DC classic T.N.T. (Young Scott Young 1975. Published by J Albert & Son Pty Ltd), with a few changes to the lyrics, but discovered that The Copyright Act (a good friend of ours) required us to get written consent of the owner of the copyright. Had we just wanted to release a cover of the song, we'd simply have to pay them a set percentage of the gross. Because we were changing the words, but wanted the music to remain true to the original, we needed the permission of the copyright owner. AC/DC are understandably extremely protective of their music, so sadly, they said no. We can however print the lyrics, as we own the copyright in them. If anyone decides to record these lyrics to the AC/DC song, I'll be sueing them for copyright in the lyrics, and AC/DC will be after them for copyright in the music. Nobody messes with AC/DC over copyright. Apparently they have the Jack.
