TKFM Quick Hits #18: "Distribution Changes and Music Schedules!"

Music publishing requires constant pivots and adjustments, and distribution is no exception...
Recently I discovered an option to get my music distributed to 3Xs the DSPs that my previous distributor offered, including into some editing suites like Canva - so I HAD to make this move.
In addition, I discuss here some of my initial plans for music production this year, coming off a 3-month hiatus following my 1,000 tracks published milestone of 2025!
Exciting year ahead - join me, won't you?

TKFM Quick Hits #17: "Barrier of Entry No More!"

Like it or not, some of this new AI technology is breaking down barriers of entry for independent filmmakers.  
If done right, some of this tech can really enhance a production and add that Hollywood flare that costs a ton of money to produce.  It can also create laziness, inconsistencies, and poor cinematography.  It's interesting watching this landscape evolve - and it requires some sensitivities to ensure the viewer gets high-quality output and art.
Time will tell how this is integrated into our movies, TV, and online content...

TKFM Quick Hits #15:"Arc Raiders - a Master Class in Scoring and Sound Design"

Every once in awhile a game comes along that really pushes novelty and innovation.  
Arc Raiders is one of those games, and I didn't even LIKE it the first 10 or so hours of gameplay, and almost quit it entirely!
Since, I've really embraced the mechanics and the world in which it resides.  The visuals are stunning, but more importantly (to me!) the music and sound design have repeatedly immersed me in this post apocalyptic world.  Kelly of Dork Tales and I discuss the nature of games, specifically this one, on our latest podcast together.  This is an excerpt of that discussion.
Here's the full episode link:
