Libraries

Piercing the Veil, Con Brio and Temptation are collections of pre-recorded tracks from the Russo/Grantham library — a style catalog to help clients point at a direction for their project, then custom-score if needed. If available, the track you have found can also be purchased or licensed for use.

Piercing the Veil CD cover

Piercing the Veil

Double CD

The first Russo/Grantham library: a double-CD reference so advertising and television producers could identify style, character, and mood without a confusing hunt.

For many in the advertising and television communities, selecting music for broadcast production is a frustrating task. We wish to solve that dilemma.

Music should be the part of the creative process that is savored and enjoyed — not fraught with ill-defined notions of style, character, mood, and execution.

All tracks were composed and/or arranged by Russo/Grantham's writing staff and produced in our studios by Marshall Grantham.

These works may not be used for broadcast or public performance without prior written approval and availability for purchase or licensing.

Con Brio

Triple CD · 243 tracks · 18 categories

Italian for “to perform with gusto.” A sequel compilation after the success of Piercing the Veil — two years of work, 243 tracks.

Due to the overwhelming success of Piercing the Veil, we set out to create a more complete sequel for your musical needs.

Con Brio is an ambitious three-CD, 18-category collection of our finest work. With one listen, you'll agree that the talents consistently shine through.

By surfing each category, arranged by musical style, you can plan a project's musical imagery with a greatly enhanced search methodology.

Temptation

Third library · about 300 tracks

About three hundred tracks across fifteen styles, from more than three years of writing and production at Back Pocket Recording Studios.

Temptation offers the potentially “perfect” solution to your music production needs, and needless to say, we hope you'll be as excited to hear our new offerings as we are to present them to you.

Temptation is the end result of over three years of combined efforts of our gifted writing staff, engineering staff, and world-class, nine-studio production facility, Back Pocket Recording Studios. Last but far from least, it is not only the proof of our diligence and devotion to our craft, but a testimony to the talent of our Creative Director, Marshall Grantham.

We have painstakingly assembled approximately three hundred new tracks for your listening pleasure, spanning fifteen categorical styles of musical composition. In addition, you'll find descriptions of each track you're hearing to help you understand the musical scope and function of each.

We invite you to surf each category you feel is appropriate for your animatic, rough-cut, storyboard, or radio spot. The intention of Temptation is to allow a diverse and versatile “solution palette” for your musical imagery needs. These tracks are the base; you may desire further customization or rearrangement to meet your exact requirements, and we can do that for you, too.

These works may not be used for broadcast or public performance without prior written approval and availability for purchase or licensing.
