What our clients are saying

Demos

Pop-Orchestral OINARUS orch.jpg

02 Production Music demo.mp3
Orchestra demo.mp3

Pop-orchestral

There is simply nothing like the strength and power of a full orchestra, particularly in a market where the arrangers players understand the styles of music we are recording.Without a doubt, Nashville contains some of the best orchestral players in the world. Things like "friendly and cooperative" go a long way toward making Nashville the place to record orchestra. We have on many occasions recorded 40 to 50 pieces at once in one of Nashville's finest orchestra rooms. However, with the challenge of today's budgets, we don't always have this luxury. There are "hybrid" options though and we explore them all. You'd be surprised as to the mixture of techniques that can be used with exceptional results.You'll hear from these examples the wide variety of approaches we offer when needing to produce orchestral style scores with a "pop" edge. Size, wieght, emotion and strength is always the end goal.

Pop-Rock

Rock demo 2.mp3

Pop / Rock

Almost every piece of music we produce has it's roots in pop, rock, or country even if a full orchestra is involved. By now, we've recorded thousands of tracks with these roots as our foundation.Authenticity is our goal everytime. The "vibe" of these styles is what we all cut our teeth on and likely what drives us musically. Most of us grew up playing many of the classic hit songs that end up being used in the production shows we're working on.We chase every detail when needing to replicate a former hit song and many times build new power and energy into the arrangement so it will translate to the stage. Quite simply, we understand how to put a song on "steriods".It's also worth noting that many times we are writing for multiple lead vocalists in a live show cast who will also sing back ground vocals on stage. Our vocal arrangements are well known for being beautifully crafted and perfectly suited to your live cast.Here are some examples from various shows we've been involved in.

"Cirque" style 29808_10150173941615022_501235021_12350325_2425328_n.jpg

Cirque demo 2.mp3

"Cirque" style

No genre offers the same challenges as a "cirque style" musical score. It's more like scoring a movie than a song complete with foley style sound design. These entertainers require powerful scores that interpret thier acts perfectly.From setting the mood for the act to guiding an audiences emotions through the awe and danger, our cirque style compositions and recording offer a creative foundation for these specialty performers.Top it off with original vocal languages that simply....do not exist and do not distract.Here are some examples of these very interesting soundscapes composed and arranged by the Westpark Creative team for Cirque like show produced by POET Productions for Celebrity Cruises.

Broadway

F-Section-full final.mp3

Broadway

The music from hit Broadway and West End musicals stirs an audience like no other genre'. From classic hits like Le Mis and West Side Story to more current offerings like Wicked and Nine.Dense orcherations, thick vocal scoring and creative "best of" medleys all play into our production techniques for themed shows that offer Broadway style entertainment.Our entire creative team has been involved directly with numerous Broadway style productions for many years. "Authenticity" and "playful creativity" all describe our clients comments regarding our Broadway style production music.Here is an example of a medley we created for the Celebrity Cruises Show......"Nights On Broadway".Note the killer brass arrangement by Nashville arranger, David Shipps.

Praise & Worship

LW WCG demo.mp3
LW WCG demo.mp3

Praise & Worship

The music of the contemporary church dominates our Nashville culture as this is the home of Contemporary Christian Music. Many of the industries artists and bands all make Nashville their home and touring base. One key to producing this style of music is an experienced and relevant producer and talent pool who truly understands this genre' and has direct experience.Westpark Creative Group is proud to be involved with all the gifted writers and musicians that assist us in producing this music for the contemporary Church.Here are examples of our work on the Lifeway Worship Project. Now the largest resource for this music on the planet.

Country

Country demo.mp3

Country

Quite simply, this is Music city U.S.A.....the home of country music.From writers and arrangers to steel guitarists and fiddle players, the country specialists live and work right here in Nashville and bring an authenicity to each project that is un-matched anywhere.Here is a sample of some of our work with these great musicians.

Big Band

1-ByeByeBlkbirdMed-full-new.mp3

Big Band

We love the shear "fire" of a great big band production. Smoking brass and vocal arrangements don't hurt either. If these charts don't get your motor running then you better check your pulse.Westpark has a team of "jazzers" that simply can't be denied. Nashville is the home of some of the best, jazz rhythm sections, brass players, and arrangers found anywhere on the planet.Here is a small offering of our Big Band work which is many times built into one of the themed entertainment shows we're working on.

Latin

Latin demo.mp3

Latin

One wouldn't think there would be a call for Latino flavors in Nashville, TN. On cruise ships, however, it's one smoking offering.Here some Latin flavors from some of the production shows we've been involved in.If we just had more cowbell.......

Mash up

West Side-New full final 2.mp3

Mash up

"Mash up" medleys are not new but popular all the same. Seems to be the hot word in the themed production world. In a nut shell, it's multiple themes and melodies from popular songs playing at once in a medley form. Always a creative challenge but rewarding when it works.Here's an example of a "mash-up" created by us but originally crafted by an in-house creative team that we often work with. A good example of some of our collaborations. With creative staging of all the elements....this West Side Story / Dirty Dancing "mash up" brings the house down.....well.....most of the time.

Corporate Industrials

Corporate Industrials

Original music for new product launches, corporate meeting entertainment, or underscore for corporate video productions.We work hand in hand with our clients to better understand our creative role and their audience and product.One thing is for sure, when a corporate clients asks for "everything and the kitchen sink", they really mean it.Here are some examples of custom music and arrangements written and recorded by the Westpark Creative team.

Jingles

Jingle demo.mp3

Jingles

There's nothing like saying it all in 60 seconds or 30 or 15 or less. Nothing easy about it but always rewarding.Most folks don't realize that Westpark Creative has been involved in numerous jingle productions over the years. Built on great melodies, arrangements, and memorable lyrics, Westpark utilizes a wide variety of writers to offer our jingle clients the widest set of choices available.Here's some examples of our experience with the "fun" and rewarding jingle market.

The Process

Creative

Recording / Mixing

Installation
Phase one, the"creative phase", drives your project and insures that we have your vision and plan in place. We write and initially program specifically for your situation engaging a variety of composers & arrangers. You get a creative "team".In this phase we generate midi rough mixes to allow for flexibility with show directors and choreographers. We leave the door open as long as possible for changes to the musical arrangements as we know that some issues cannot be predictied.
Phase two is the actual "recording phase". Our studio, Westpark Sound is the "HUB" for our projects. It's a comfortable, highly evolved, and a great sounding studio with plenty of room to track & overdub. A project with Westpark Creative will be creatively energized with top studio musicians and managed to help you get the most from your budget. We also provide the all important "PRINT" elements to most projects. As needed, we provide you with professional quality band charts and vocal books for recording and live use.
Phase 3 is the "install phase" which in many cases moves us to the actual venue to work with your technical staff and live musicians.As directed, we can help you bridge the gap between studio and live performance with friendly, on-site musical and technical direction.Technically speaking, we initially deliver a project in CD form and in stem format inside of Pro Tools which allows for "show flow" and other adjustments. In the end, we layover audio with timecode to whatever playback device is required for that venue.
