Gerhard Trede was one of the most prolific composers in history. The three decades from 1952-1982 were Gerhard's most productive years. He wrote over 3,000 pieces, with some attributed to his pseudonym Victo Cavini. This staggering volume is the largest music archive by a single composer. His music has been used in various productions, from documentaries to TV shows to feature films, even to this day.
The Production Music Association has formed a new committee focused on increasing female representation in production music and the larger media industry.
The movement toward equality has become an important hot topic lately and, with songs like Taylor Swift's "The Man" and Hildur Guðnadóttir winning the first Oscar for Best Original Score in 20 years, the long-due visibility and recognition continues to increase both in music and the mainstream.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Sonoton's SPOTS label, featuring vintage easy listening cues in ad-friendly, commercial lengths.

Carmen Lundy is the first of a vying breed, propelling the contemporary jazz movement with purist detail, juxtaposing sounds and soulful charm.
