NORTHRIDGE, CA – October 17, 2005 – SmartSound Software, Inc., the leading provider of music and technology for visual content creators, today announced the launch of the Film Score Series, a new royalty-free music library which gives filmmakers unprecedented access to scores created by leading industry composers. The Film Score Series gives access to full, rich and high-quality scores for major film and television productions to filmmakers who otherwise could not afford to hire an accomplished professional composer.
SmartSound is launching the Film Score Series with six volumes of music from composer Richard Band. Band has more than 25 years of experience, scoring such films as “Re-Animator”, “Troll” and the “Puppet Master” franchise, as well as the TV shows “Walker, Texas Ranger” and “Stargate SG-1”. The six volumes in the Film Score Series: Richard Band collection are “Vol. 1: Action Adventure”; “Vol. 2: Horror”; “Vol. 3: Drama”; “Vol. 4: Suspense”; “Vol. 5: Comedy”; and “Vol. 6: Family”.
The Film Score Series music is enabled to work exclusively with SmartSound applications, including SmartSound Sonicfire® Pro. These applications use SmartSound’s patented technology to deliver multiple arrangements of every track, precisely edited to fit to the length of any scene without altering the tempo. The arrangements are complete musical pieces, with true beginnings and endings. This gives filmmakers enhanced flexibility and productivity, inspiring creative freedom when working with music throughout the editing process.
“The Film Score Series bridges the gap for independent filmmakers between their desire for professionally composed music scores and their budget limitations,” said Kevin Klingler, president and CEO of SmartSound Software. “This new library puts rich, production-quality works by top industry composers into the reach of any filmmaker, regardless of their budget. The high quality and broad range of Richard Band’s work makes it a perfect way to launch the Film Score Series.”
“The release of my music as part of the Film Score Series is exciting because it allows filmmakers working on small budgets to access my music and use it in a new and creative way,” said Band. “SmartSound is the ideal partner because their unique technology ensures that the end result maintains a standard of quality consistent with the original work.”

Individual CDs from the Film Score Series: Richard Band can be purchased for $99.95 or as a three-pack for $249.
