TAXI's Virtual Road Rally 2021
Production Music Libraries: What they are and what they do for you
With Dean Krippaehne: Part 2
Interviewed by Michael Laskow
Editor's Note: We're repeating Dean's bio from
Part One to give context to the rest of the
interview!
Dean Krippaehne is a veteran songwriter, musician,
author, artist, music producer, and highly
successful TAXI member. His music has been
heard on hundreds of TV shows, films, and new
media around the world-probably thousands by
now. He has also earned gold and platinum
records when his song " Do Your Thing " appeared
on Stephanie Heinzmann's album, Master Plan on
Universal. Dean is also the author of the Amazon
best-selling books Demystifying the Cue and
Demystifying the Genre, both of which are musthave
books. If you're watching this and you
haven't read these books. It's not a matter of,
" Should I? " It's a matter of if you don't, you are
only hurting yourself-I cannot stress that
enough. He also wrote Write, Submit, Forget,
Repeat, which was inspired by the often-heard
TAXI member mantra Write, Submit, Forget,
Repeat. If there's anybody who can explain what
production music libraries do, and why they can
be valuable partners for indie songwriters and
composers, Dean Krippaehne is that guy.
Somebody in the chat room just asked, " How do
you get in those [39] music libraries? " in so many
words.
For me-and I have told this to everybody-I
say, " Join TAXI. " Well, back in 2003, the thing
that got my music on One Life to Live, was
through a TAXI listing. They wanted Neo-Soul
music, and I had recorded some without
thinking about film or TV, and it worked, and
it got through. Then, when I started coming to
the Road Rallies and met more people... Yeah,
from TAXI listings and from the people I met
and connections I made at these Road
Rallies-which is going on this week-I would
say that 90% of those 39 libraries came from
TAXI listings or the connections I have made
Michael Laskow and Dean Krippaehne live at TAXI's Virtual Road Rally.
through TAXI, and because of TAXI. So, I just
tell everybody, " Hey, that's how you do it. And
listen to the feedback and learn and get better
and listen to TV shows. "
There are two libraries that I have been contacted
by recently that want me to do stuff for
specific shows. So, I'm watching the shows,
I'm listening to what they're doing. " Oh, that's
how they do their tension music on that. They
are using more drones and less percussion, " or
vice-versa. And so, you listen; you do your
work. I always go to-even though I'm in a few
of the huge libraries, the biggest libraries-I
still go to them and listen to what other people
have done in other genres to make sure
that my bar is reaching at least that level.
I'm glad you brought up the tension cue, because
that's one of the genres where there's tension
when the bachelorette is waiting for the rose
and that they are eliminating people. There's
tension when somebody is entering a dark room.
There are all kinds of different tension styles, so
you can't just look at something and go,
" Tension-I can make that " ; you've got to make
the kind of tension they use on that show. And I
think it's brilliant-common sense but brilliant
nonetheless-you watch the shows and probably
jot down notes on a legal pad or something,
so that when you go create the music, you've
already got a roadmap handed to you.
And you are so right. Just with tension alone,
there are probably 100 or 200 different kinds
of tension.
I've told this story before. There was a broadcast
network Saturday-morning show called
Lucky Dog that I had music in like 40 episodes
or so. But it's about dogs rescuing dogs and
getting them to new owners and training
them. Mostly kids watched the show, and in
the brief, it said, " We want tension, but we
can't make kids cry or their parents will turn
off the TV. " So that's a whole different challenge.
How do you create tension that doesn't
scare somebody and get a little suspense in
there? But, yeah, there is just the whole
gamut. There are tons of kinds, and probably
in most genres. I mean, Hip-Hop that was
done 15 years ago doesn't work now, unless
