about

The Burst Collective offers custom music production and music licensing for commercials, tv, film, corporate media, software and video games.

We've created and produced a few successful production music catalogs for some of the world's largest publishers... Mixtape (formerly known as BurstLabs.com) for Sony/ATV, Gravity for Warner/Chappell, and Velocity for Universal/BMG. We also host recording sessions from time to time in our recording studio, Burst HQ.

You can be our fan on Facebook, if you're so inclined. We like virtual friends as much as any teensy weensy practically invisible music production company, so come on by and say hi.

Flying insects are unwelcome visitors at outdoor nighttime events, but Canadian artist Paul Walde relies on them for his Composition for Light, Percussion and Ultrasound.  Walde arranges a cluster of tom-tom drums containing high-powered  lights that shoot beaming columns into the sky, then mikes and greatly  amplifies the sound created by moths as they flit into and skitter  across the drumheads.

The Future of Artist Collaboration, via soundcloud:
Imogen Heap has been a longtime SoundClouder and always on the forefront when it comes to finding new ways to engage and connect with her fans. Recently she answered some of the questions her fans recorded for her: http://ask.imogenheap.com

Now for her new album, she came up with another very interesting idea you should not miss. Let’s hear it in her own words:


My fourth solo album begins here, with you on the 14th March. You are the spark of inspiration. #heapsong1 is the working title of the first song from my new album. The album will be completed in roughly 3 years, with a new song released every 3 months as soon as it’s completed.


Imogen plans to put the songs out as soon as they are ready and keep them relevant to the time they are created. Then, as Imogen still wants to have another physical album to put on her shelf next to Ellipse, she’ll release the album for those who’d like to hold it.

And you can contribute in the making of the first track of the new album, that is pretty cool. Head over here to learn about how you can participate and tune in tonight at 6pm GMT for a live chat with Imogen herself.

Here’s the link to the PDF with all details and timeline for the new creation of the new record.

The Bob Moog Foundation’s Photos - Eric Persing’s OMG-1
Our friend, Eric Persing, designed the OMG-1 (which looks to be a combination of Moog synthesis, Spectrasonics virtual instruments, some hardware, 2 iPads and 2 iPods) and donated it to be the grand prize in an upcoming contest that will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation.
Kudos, Eric! Just awesome. :)

There is nothing exaggerated in this video. No, really.

This is the joy that is commercial music production.

The Power Of Music

It’s nice to remember that while music is something we do for a living, and something that passes those idle split-seconds between words in some random commercial, it’s also more than that.

→ Justin Bieber's "U Smile" slowed down 800% = breathtaking beauty

No, really.

h/t: our very own theMattSmith, who says

I’ve been listening to this version of Justin Bieber’s “U Smile” slowed down 800% ALL MORNING and it may very well be the most powerful Brian Eno song I’ve ever heard.

Prophetic “Big Dreamer”

digitalkitchen411 says :

Prophetic is one of Milwaukee fastest rising stars. Without having to compromise himself or his raps, his straight forward straight to the point lyrics has garnered him awards from Milwaukee radio 88.9 and also a slot opening up for N.E.R.D. in the country’s largest music festival “Summerfest.”

This is from the “Mo Prophet Mo Progress” and you can purchase it HERE.
