Freibank demonstrates successful music marketing. Owners of the IKEA
Family Card are surging into their branch, in order to obtain their free copy
of the "Ikea Family SUMMER CD ". In co-operation with the young Hamburg
agency "tone-ad" , Freibank-Director Markus Linde developed the stylistic
adjustment and the final tracklisting of the album.
The highclass Electrolatino Compilation contains exclusively Freibank repertoire,
which Freibank licensed from her partner labels such as V2, Multicolor, Wohnton
oder Pooled. Markus Linde: "Due to the trusting co-operation with the agencies
and the customer we could centre the musical quality. The successful execution
of such a strong project serves all participants, in particular because of the
fair licensing conditions. In these days it is a good signal, if the user of
music rights appreciates their significance and value. The success is proof
of this."
Represented artists are Ian Pooley, Senor Coconut, Boot Cut Rockers, Mambotur,
Perry Colo of pres. Fuzzbuster, Lisa Carbon and Bio Bonsai.

Mona Mur: Music and Sounddesign for Atari`s new release "Ballance"
"Ballance" is a level-based
puzzle game. The player has to move a ball through a hovering maze of paths
and rails. When moving, the player will face many mechanical obstacles like
seesaws, suspension bridges, pendulums etc. to overcome. It is the aim of the
game to reach to the end of each level without dropping the ball. Ballance takes
its special appeal from the physically realistic simulation of its elements.
A good feeling of the ball's inertia and an understanding of simple mechanical
processes will enable the player to succeed.
Freibank Artist Mona Mur was responsible for both the music and the sounddesign
of "Ballance". Says Roberto Vitalini, "The Digital Trends Hunter":
"I enjoyed a lot the intriguing ambient Music the very realistic Sound
FX, that combined with a hi-res screen transform the game into an interactive
spiritual experience."

ER FRANCE - "Petites Filles Back In Town"
A unique debut: on their album "Petites Filles Back In Town" ER FRANCE
mark the fusion of French Chanson culture with German-American Garage Rock.
The result is an international and modern album with impressive songwriting.
The duo's mastermind, André Tebbe, is responsible for the rough guitar
sound, while the easy and laid back swinging melodies of the french singer Isabelle
Frommer go straight for the listeners' epicentre ! But in contrast to a lot
of French-style releases these days, the twelve songs are not plashing along
in a smooth Lounge- or Easy Listening-way. They are waving their colours: ER
FRANCE rock!!
Live Dates: 04.06. 2004 Leipzig, Subway to Peter; 05.06.2004 Dresden, Groove
Station; 19.06.2004 Bochum, Bastion
More dates will follow!!
