   Killer Tracks Releases "Legacy"   
   03 Dec 16 14:01:06   
   
   Killer Tracks announces Legacy, a groundbreaking new addition to its   
   production music catalog. Recorded live with an 81-piece orchestra, the   
   collection of 12 original tracks represents the collaborative effort of four   
   gifted composers and some of the    
   industry's most talented contemporary vocalists. The result is a lush and   
   invigorating musical journey blending rich orchestral arrangements and soaring   
   vocals in trailer formats that will set the standard for the genre for years   
   to come.   
      
   More than six months in the making Legacy is among Killer Track's most   
   ambitious recording projects to date. "We assembled a group of composers,   
   singers and musicians who are among the best in the business and tasked them   
   with creating a new sound," says    
   Killer Tracks executive producer Ryan Perez-Daple. "They pushed limits and you   
   can hear it."   
      
   Killer Tracks composers featured in the project include Gregg Lehrman, Boris   
   Nonte, Cyrus Reynolds and Billy Van. Vocalists include Keely Bumford, Sarah   
   Westen Rasmussen, Ali Meredith-Lacey, Anthony Starble, Alexandra Schultz, Jay   
   Stolar, Phillip Howard    
   and Jeffrey Kolhede.   
      
   Lehrman, the recent recipient of an ASCAP Award for his work on the television   
   series Ground Floor, found the concept of blending orchestra and vocals   
   intriguing and the collaborative process of working with the other composers   
   and vocalists (some    
   located halfway around the globe) energizing. "There were a lot of brilliant   
   people involved in this project," he says. "Half the fun was throwing out an   
   idea and seeing what someone else came up with."   
      
   "It was a challenge to create big, cinematic music with vocals. The orchestra   
   fills out the spectrum; adding vocals on top of that is a delicate craft. But,   
   the results are amazing."   
      
   Lehrman points to the track Want It All as indicative of the album's   
   intoxicating fusion of pop sensibilities and orchestral power. "It begins   
   intimately with the music crafted around the vocals, and then it grows and   
   grows toward a huge climax," he says.   
      
   It's that balance of style and grace that gives Legacy its unique sound and   
   what makes it perfect for trailer producers looking for something new. "In the   
   trailer world, you typically see purely instrumental tracks...all of these   
   tracks include    
   accompanying vocals," says Van. "It was cool to push that boundary."   
      
   Instrumental versions and shorter edits are also available for all tracks on   
   the album.
