AFFORDABLE ROYALTY-FREE MUSIC 

Recognizing the inherent difficulties in tracking down the perfect piece of library music, the folks at Twistedtracks.com have made the search as easy as possible. The site now offers four intuitive search methods, ranging from top-down approaches (Search by End Use, Genre, or Collection) to bottom-up searches that display only those tracks matching user-selected criteria.

During implementation of the latest method, Search by End Use, tracks from the library were analyzed for their usefulness in certain real-world situations.

"We started with a huge list of potential uses, from feature film trailer soundtracks down to speaker walk-on music for a corporate event," says Derek Frederickson, owner, "what we ended up realizing is that all the specific uses had a few things in common. Once we identified those, the tracks fell into place."

Offering niche styles of music is the cornerstone of the Twistedtracks.com library. "Part of the reason behind the new search methods is that we offer so many niche genres that people may not have even heard of," Frederickson continues. "We wanted to give people a way to explore the possibilities without knowing the terminology."

In addition to new ways to find the perfect track, there are hundreds of new tracks, volumes and collections just waiting to be discovered.

"Who knew the Germans were so good a bossanova?!" remarks Frederickson.

The Twistedtracks.com library currently offers thousands of individual tracks (ranging in price from $8 to $50) and 40 genre-based volumes ($130 each) for download or delivery, and 8 multi-volume collections ($500 to $1500) available in CD or DVD-ROM format.
