AudioSparx Newsletter - November 2010

With the goblins of Halloween now disposed of, attention turns to the
upcoming Holidays and occasions: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Chinese
New Years and Valentine's Day. In this festive
newsletter, we highlight for you some great music for cooking shows,
commercials, products, and restaurants, as well as vibrant, uplifting Christmas music, including
instrumentals and both male and female Christmas vocal tracks.
Cooking Show music often has a food, beverage or cooking theme integrated directly
into the music, or is simply fairly calm music that is light and
entertaining. This music is ideally suited for TV cooking shows such
as Essence of Emeril, Hell's Kitchen, The Cooking Cajun, Ready Steady Cook,
Great Chefs, The Frugal Gourmet, The French Chef, Top Chef, Martha Stewart,
and other similar popular cooking shows, products, restaurants, commercials and more.
Make your Holidays bright with warm Holiday Music and Sound Effects
from around the world. We have hundreds of heartwarming and whimsical music
tracks with both religious and secular themes for your TV and Film
productions, family Holiday specials, commercials, ad campaigns, games, toy embedding, etc. From
Jingle Bells and Sugar Plum Groove, to Ava Maria and Deck the Halls – AudioSparx has
you covered!But Don’t Take Our Word for It....

Christmas Trivia
Did you know....
- Although many believe the Friday after Thanksgiving is the
busiest shopping day of the year, it is not. It is the fifth
to tenth busiest day. The Friday and Saturday before
Christmas are the two busiest shopping days of the year.
- Christmas trees are edible. Many parts of pines, spruces,
and firs can be eaten. The needles are a good source of
vitamin C. Pine nuts, or pine cones, are also a good source
of nutrition. So, on that note, bon appetit!! |
