Ski trip music!

[Guest theeldergeek]

Here's an odd request then - I do the video editing for the College; school trips, plays and so on, and have been asked to put together a 'montage' of the school ski trip taken last month.

 

I am looking for suitable music that is somewhere between 6 - 10 mins in length that I can use as a backing track!

 

It needs to be lively, funky, not too trance, and compliment footage of skiiing, mountains, ski lifts etc.

 

I've got 'writers' block! I just can't find anything suitable.

 

I can edit the length of the music, i.e. if it's a short piece, I can either extend it by making it repeat, or simply make sections of it repeat to make it play longer. I would prefer instrumental.

 

I really can't think of any thing! Can you lot come up with some ideas!?!?

 

I have already done a short promo which was only 3 mins long, but now I need to do something longer.

 

Happy to download it from somewhere, or if someone actually has the music, happy to have it emailed over (copyright, what copyright? )

 

So, thinking caps on!

 

TIA

Ski Sunday theme?

Ski Sunday theme?

 

Yeah, I thought about that, but I don't think it's something the kids will 'warm' to, and some probably aren't familiar with it.

 

Darude's Sandstorm is a bit too 'trance', but that's the sort of beat I reckon I'm looking for.

 

Not easy....

How about "montage" from the film "Team America: World Police"; an absolute CLASSIC!!!

Search for "podsafe" music, or Creative Commons-licensed music, then you can post the finished video to YouTube or give to parents with no worries. Try these:

Edit:

 

These chaps (found through Google adds) seem very reasonable value for money at $30 (£15-ish) a track:

Something by vuneny might be good...any band that lists concrete as an instrument are definitely top.

A few suggestions... You'll recognise some of these songs from advert, I've used them for videos and picture loops i've done in the past

 

Mr. Scruff - Spandex Man

Mr. Scruff - Get a Move On

Daft Punk - Voyager

Kinobe - Slip Into Something More Comfortable (Quite slow but very wintery relaxedness)

Faithless - Drifting Away (You'll prob want to edit the first 40seconds out)

The Prodigy - 3 Kilos

Royksopp - In Space

Fatboy Slim - Song For Lindy

Mark Ronson - God Put A Smile On Your Face

 

 

That should be enough

I've got a folder full of this sort of music

I don't know why but I read that and 'Fat Bottomed Girls' sprang to mind
