Kick up the Fun
Oh, what fun it is to hear rollicking music that is zany and whimsical—music that’s catchy, carefree, energetic and completely silly. Lively and boisterous music is ideal for spirited and amusing scenes, cooking, travel or home videos or better yet, introduce a lively play with it and dial up the antics.
Sax Lovers
The saxophone is one of America’s most beloved musical instruments for the unique intensity it brings to music. Though originally invented to use in classical and military music, you’ll find the sweet and glorious strains of saxophones in all genres of music today as it blends smoothly into jazz, pop, rock, big band, classic and orchestral compositions. Creative saxophonists breathe life into a sax to create a smooth, sultry, raucous or soulful mood. Belgian Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1840 with the desire that it would be the most powerful and vocal instrument of the woodwinds. SmartSound has a few great funky saxophone tracks we think will make your next scene shine.
Delight with Drums
Thrilling and gentle scenes call for powerful background drum music as it allows for steadily rolling drama. Whether the light touch of a hi-hat, gentle brushes with cymbals, side-sticking a snare,or railing on tom-fills, powerful drum music can light your production up or tone it down. Cyrano de Bergerac could pull off an acoustic guitar solo while reciting poetry but we think adding drums would have sealed the deal.
When it comes to Instrumental Royalty Free Action Music, SmartSound has an incredible selection that will give your production that punch you’ve been looking for. Perfect for movie trailers and video games, this selection provides an astonishing combination of heavy percussion building up to orchestral finishes that delivers that action packed scene you have always wanted in your project.
Big band music developed in the 1920’s when bands of 10-25 musicians, including a string section, played danceable jazz tunes with sweet, romantic melodies. Big band sound became an important part of morale during World War II in the 1940’s when big bands often entertained the troops overseas.
Royalty Free Big Band Music both reprises past hits from the biggest big band era (1930’s and ’40’s), such as in Big Band Blast, but also offers modern versions sprinkled throughout other albums.
New Age Royalty Free Music is one of the genres that truly is relatively recent in development, tracing its roots only back as far as the 1960’s and 1970’s. It often includes the use of classical instruments, such as acoustic guitar, flute and harp, as well Eastern instruments—sitar and tamboura.
The tone of New Age music is almost always in the direction of relaxation, tranquility, and optimism for the future. Often used in yoga classes, meditation, massage, it embodies the spiritual search for serenity as a way to deal more effectively with life.Dancing Reflections, from the Lifestyles-New Age album, echoes that mellow inspiration, but with a definite beat and an intriguing deeper tone built in to give it an earthy, Latin-esque feel. Nature, Home Video and Travel will benefit from this sensual song from the Strata series.
