Pitchfork on The Strange World of Library Music
21 May 2014
Music blog, Pitchfork, published an amazing article about the world of library music featuring the KPM, Kosinus, Selected Sound labels.
"The dusty field of library music—background tracks owned by labels and lent out to TV, radio, and film projects—has proven to be an endless sample source for hip-hop producers as well as inspiration for avant-garde experimentalists."
--Nate Patrin, Pitchfork
The article touches on everything from the Monday Night Football theme, "Heavy Action," to the role library music has played in Hip-Hop.
