David Arnold has been Musical Director of Children In Need since 1994, and this year was again asked to provide not only the Main Title and all incidental music for the show, but also backing tracks and vocal recordings for no less than three separate celebrity musical items.

The producers wanted the show to have a more contemporary feel this year, with an entirely pre-recorded soundtrack rather than a live band on-stage.

This decision involved some interesting challenges – not least the need to meet tight timing requirements. It was certainly the case for the next clip; condensing and re-sequencing a 7-minute epic into less than 3 minutes isn’t easy ! Luckily even hardcore Meatloaf fans were impressed with the result.

(In fact, the results were so good that some people thought the Hairy Bikers were miming to the original – we’re happy to confirm this was not the case !)

The theme tune for Nickelodeon’s new Saturday morning show Jamie & Anna’s Big Weekend was written, recorded, arranged and  produced entirely in-house by David Arnold Music. The brief called for a “Big Show style and credentials”, and required that it should

“…incorporate a big band, showbiz sound (“Live From London”) and be recorded with real instrumentation including live drums, guitars, saxes and brass”

This gave the team a great opportunity to flex their creative muscles – with stunning results, as you can hear. So slick is the final result that one industry insider commented that when he heard it he wondered if the job had gone to an American production company, saying “it sounds as if it was recorded in Hollywood”!

Big Weekend is on Nickelodeon every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

David Arnold Music has just finished work recording, editing and mixing the new theme for SKY News HD, which is re-launched today to coincide with the UK’s 2010 general election.

The recording sessions at Angel Studios in London featured the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s full 60-piece line-up, utilising over 132 channels of audio over the two days.

The music editing, sound design, effects and audio mixing took David Arnold and Gareth Williams a further five full days work – all for only 18 seconds of audio !
