It’s one of those days where nothing is going right, you can’t get into a groove, and productivity is out the window. So you settle in with one of your favorite pick-me-up movies, Encanto, or maybe Top Gun, or even Guardians Of The Galaxy, and almost the minute it begins, you start to feel better.
If you’ve ever been to a movie theater, then you’ve experienced the wide and wonderful world of trailer music. It’s a big part of the reason why so many people insist on getting to the theater in time to catch those fifteen to twenty minutes of previews before the movie itself starts—hearing and seeing snippets of the next big blockbusters unfold on the silver screen can be more fun than the full-length film.
How important is production music in movies?
Have you seen the viral videos of blockbuster movies presented without sound? This critical scene from Star Wars: A New Hope is galactically hilarious without the score and sound design. It's like pulling the soul out of a living being. That is how critical production music is to the visual experience.
What is the metaverse? And what is NFT Music? And how will its popularity impact artists?

APM artist Rachel K. Collier is best described as a “one-woman production machine,” because she’s not just a musician, producer, and teacher. This Welsh artist is also an incredibly prolific performer, who started uploading her Ableton looping and recording sessions to Youtube a few years ago, and now racks up thousands of views on her videos. As her career in electronic music progressed from humble beginnings in her native Wales, Collier spent her time living and working in a “tiny studio” in London. Thanks in part to the shift in remote work that the Covid-19 pandemic initiated, she suddenly realized that moving home might just be a better strategy.
APM Music is proud to be a source of music for 18 films showing at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
APM Music is partnering with ESPN and GRAMMY-nominated artist Marshmello to create a remixed version of “Heavy Action,” the iconic and long-time theme song of Monday Night Football.
“APM Music is a perfect example of how important and credible library songs can be," says The White Lotus music supervisor Janet Lopez.
