FirstCom targets comic books & graphic novels with new library

DALLAS — FirstCom Music (www.firstcom.com) has unveiled a new music licensing catalog that’s geared specifically toward those creating comic book movies, online graphic novels, video games, sci-fi productions, digital media, animation, and graphic arts. The FCAnimated collection initially consists of five volumes: Singularity; Dragons, Fairies and Witches; Regions of Darkness; Retro Creature Features; and Gods and Heroes. 

“FCAnimated is the soundtrack for modern myths and fantastic adventures,” says Ken Nelson, FirstCom senior VP and executive producer. “This is the music of cinematic superheroes, mythical creatures, and sci-fi worlds, all of which are texturally described in sets of cues designed to work together to support plot devices, segments and storytelling. Whether a project needs an adrenaline jolt of musical energy, an over-the-top heroic theme or a creepy sonic environment, this collection serves as a one-stop solution.”

For FCAnimated, FirstCom tapped composer and sound designer Wendell Yuponce, well-known for his work on Madefire Motion Books. Yuponce has earned a following as an audio expert bringing to life the pages of motion books and graphic novels. Yuponce is also a successful composer for TV, commercials and films, and his credits include Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO); Minor Adjustments (NBC); and History of the Joke featuring Lewis Black (History Channel).
