Two trailer music companies have announced the releases of new albums:

• Groove Addicts/ Full Tilt, who has released Full Tilt: Convergence, the latest album of the Full Tilt series (which is formed, in chronological order, by: Full Tilt 1, 2 & 3, Full Tilt: Black, Full Tilt: Rising. All albums are composed by Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen).

Update: FB page updated with tracks from the album

(Note that Groove Addicts is now known under the name of GrooveWorx, although this hasn't been updated on their Facebook page yet. The change took place on  September 3rd, 2010 : "Groove Addicts becomes GrooveWorx. Until last week we were known as Groove Addicts. A jingle and production music company operating for the last 15 years in Los Angeles, CA. " )

• Anti-Hero, who has released Volume 2, the second album of the company, as you probably deduced from its title. A montage is available for listening to the public. The album has been composed by Dan Diaz, the owner of Anti-Hero.

Both announcements have been made via Facebook.

Groove Addicts has updated their trailer music website, to feature their new album Full Tilt Rising. As you know, Michael Nielsen, and Kaveh Cohen were working hard on it, and it appears that it's now officially been released. The artwork is stunning, and from the tracks that we've heard already in trailers, on Facebook, and on MySpace, the music is as well.

The website now has an 'Our Work' section where you can view trailers that have Full Tilt's music featured.  One listed is the Japanese trailer for Avatar, which uses the cue "End Game" from Full Tilt Rising.  Also listed are the trailers for The Wolfman, and Prince of Persia.

(On a separate note, I should say that the third and final chapter in the Full Tilt interview series will go live this month.  So sorry to keep you guys waiting.) [UPDATE: My computer broke a couple weeks ago, so it will take a little longer, as it's getting fixed.  Looks like it'll have to wait until the new year. :( ]

Hoy, hoy! Okey, I know, some of this info might not be fresh for some of you, but we thought each on their own doesn't deserve a new post so we waited till we have enough to post it. That typically true at the last one.

• I was wandering on Soundsonline's forum again. If you missed : there is a contest to show your song writting skills and to win an enormous bar of chochlate a Complete Composers Collection PLAY Edition. In my opinion these are fits into the dynamic, might be trailer music category: Pharaoh's Glory by Jeff Broadbent, Cruor Of Diabolus by Tarek Mansur, The pirate returns by Marco Giardina, Lacrimosa by Rotem Moav, but you should check the rest here.
• Ray Li, who is a young, self-taught composer and releasing his debut album Final Horizon, sent us a letter to help him promoting his songs. So click here to listen his music! I think 'Life' is pretty cool.
• Also some 'so-last-year' news: the hompages of APM and Groove Addicts have a new design.

It looks like the fan support of the trailer music companies and composers is paying off.  Future World Music announced Aug. 20th on their Facebook page, that they will be coming out with a commercial release available to the public:

"Thank you all for your comments and inquiries.  Currently we are only liscensing music to the movie studios and trailer production companies.  However, we will be releasing music for sale in the near future.  Thank you again!"

It also looks like Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen will be releasing an album with some of Groove Addicts' trailer music in the future as well. Kaveh said this in a post dated Aug. 14th at the Chasing the Frog forums, in regards to a public release of Full Tilt tracks:

"I can't tell you when it will be.  But... There will be one.  All the best, -Kaveh"

This is great news for the fanbase and general public, who would love hearing more of the tracks in their entirety.  Two Steps From Hell should be coming out with a public release later this year as well.

Hello everyone, and welcome back!  Read Tyr's post below this, if you haven't already. ;) While the site was under maintenance, we went live with the first part of a long overdue video interview with the composers of the Full Tilt trailer music library.

I'd like to apologize for the delay in getting this up, but it would take days to describe the technical difficulties I experienced. However, it worked out for the best, because Kaveh, and Collin Perry, sent me some tracks, and new HD footage from their most recent recording session in Seattle, for their newest release "Full Tilt: Rising". You'll find a bit of that at the end of this, and there will be more in the next part. Speaking of which, because I'm extremely busy right now, moving back out to California, the second part will go live next week.

I know this news is a bit old for anyone who is keeping up to date with Groove Addict's Full Tilt library Facebook updates, but for anyone that missed it because they've been incapacitated over the past couple weeks (like me), you should check out the two videos that were posted. Music from Michael Nielsen and Kaveh Cohen's highly successful 'Full Tilt: Black' release has been used in two theatrical trailers. The first is the Ninja Assassin trailer, which features the piece "Up From the Ashes".

The second is the theatrical trailer for Jennifer's Body, which features the piece "Shellshock".

You can actually listen to "Shellshock", in all it's glory, uncut, on the Groove Addicts/Full Tilt Facebook fan page, or MySpace page. myspace.com/grooveaddictstrailermusic facebook.com/grooveaddictstrailermusic If you're not a fan, well what are you waiting for? Speaking of the Full Tilt trailer music library, I want the first part of Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen's interview to go live this week. Yep folks. There'll be more than one part.

Hoy, hoy! As you probably remember we mentioned that we organized an interview with Kaveh Cohen and Michael Nielsen. This time Michael Morone teamed up with Ray Borda to have a conversation with the composers of Full Tilt music library. Michael and Kaveh talked about their background, about the trends of the trailer music industry, about their musical aspirations, about some of their recent projects, and more. For some unseen technical issues Michael finished a teaser for the upcoming interview just today. Just for you. Just for now. Here on TMN:

The full interview is coming in the next few weeks.

Kaveh Cohen, composer for Full Tilt and Ninja Tracks, after his promises he has put up some tracks from album Full Tilt Black. Listen to Legend (from the trailer of Wolverine), Hellbent, The Estuary, The Mark. There is also a track from Comedy Tools, Victoria Station. Wait! That is not all! Check the page of Groove Addicts Trailer Music. You can find here two more tracks from Full Tilt Black entitled Righteous Sin and Shellshock. Enjoy!

Groove addicts has presented the newest part of their Full tilt series, Full tilt Black which album was released this year. You can also listen to a song My Bloody Valentine at their Myspace profile. This track is used in the trailer of My Bloody Valentine (surprising, isn't it? :D) regarding to their Facebook page. Apparently this album is a horror-themed one.
