Our very own Daniel Holter and Mike Standal have scored another songwriting coup, placing their song “Fall” in the hottest flick at theaters this spring, Sex and the City : The Movie.
Through our association with the music licensing company Crucial Music (and Crucial’s Tanvi Patel), the producers of Sex and the City licensed the instrumental version (known as “Catch Me” in the movie credits) of one of our jazz ballads.
With a nod to the standards of yesteryear, the full version of the song features Marcella Mortellaro, a longtime friend of the songwriters and collaborator at The Burst Collective who now resides in Nashville.
If you’d like to support the creation of a full-length recording with Marcella, buying her songs through Amie Street is the most direct way of doing so. We’re hoping to parlay this movie placement into finishing the project we started a couple of years ago for Burst Records. Until then, enjoy the music!

Back in 1999, when Burst creative director Daniel Holter was an in-house composer at LA-based commercial music house Groove Addicts, electric cars were all the rage… and General Motors’ launch of their EV-1 was ahead of the curve, ready to take over the car-buying public with thoughts of saving the planet and leaving our dependance on fossil fuels behind.

Producers of Fox’s “American Idol” have chosen Burst music to tie their top-rated, fifth season together.
Material from the Burst Music catalog adorns many of the interlude segments and street interviews.
Most recently, American Idol “Auditions 6″ spun slices of Burst songs Teen Novella, QWERTY and Twister throughout the show and during the entire minute-long closing. Back Bacon, also from Burst’s Velocity Music Library, greased the twins segment the week before.
