G&E Music recently
collaborated with History Channel line producer Michael Scalere to promote
their new fall line up. Scalere secured licensing for sound alikes, and
then hired G&E to add a charged up rock version for two :30 promos.
The team recreated two classic rock tracks; Van Halen’s "Ice
Cream Man", and Jim Carroll’s "People Who Died".

“After we took a look at the graphics, we felt like ice cream could
be cranked up tempo wise. Once we brought it up, the video and graphics
started to really take off.” Schloss says. “We also brought
in a couple of different singers to add some background vocals on both
tracks.”
On Jim Carroll’s
“People Who Died”, G&E was directed to take a slightly
different approach lyrically. Since the show was about unusual people
and their eccentricities, the classic shout chorus was changed from “These
are people who died!” to “All these people are weird, weird!”
“We had a blast
putting the tracks together and revisiting the tunes. Michael gave us
the freedom to put our own musical sauce on top, so that made this project
even cooler.” comments Schloss. |
