Stephen Arnold Releases “A Story of Six Strings”

Beautiful Coffee Table Book Focuses On Award-Winning Composer’s Collection of Rare Guitars DALLAS, TX — “You don’t have to know music to appreciate A Story of Six Strings,” says Dan Rather, legendary journalist, former CBS Evening News anchor, and current anchor and managing editor of HD Net’s Dan Rather Reports.

Adele Behind the Scenes

What do Latvian Festivals, nights out in Manchester and the current Billboard #2 song all have in common? Why, Stephen Arnold Music, of course!! Before being brought in to oversee Stephen Arnold Music’s library – The Vault – I was “lucky” enough to be a gigging Sound Engineer most recently based in London. But before I could spend my days relaxing in my corner office listening to music all day, […]

Vinyl – It’s not just for breakfast anymore.

The funeral for vinyl records was held thirty years ago, but something of a resurrection is under way and we here at Stephen Arnold Music know why. Nothing sounds like vinyl. An analog recording has a quality, a warmth and expansiveness, that digital just can’t equal. For those of you too young to remember what it’s like to drop a needle on a record, it’s hard to explain how it […]

Are You Ready for Some Football Music?

Super Bowl XLVI is fast approaching. February 5th. 11 days away… That means 3 things: great football, million dollar ads and MUSIC. For us in Dallas, the Super Bowl is something of a mirage these days (even if it was at Jerry World last year). This wasn’t the case in the 90’s.

Christmas Faves, Then and Now

The “Arts” always come out in full bloom at year’s end. We all have our favorite, iconic holiday book/film/play/TV show, maybe even a favorite toy, and last but not least, favorite Christmas song or carol. Since I was a kid, some of those iconic holiday classics have been replaced — a change made ever more apparent as the father of three young ones (although only one still young enough to […]

Stephen Arnold Music Scores Pacquiao-Marquez PPV Promo

To say the least, it’s an honor to be associated with the “best in the business”, or “pound for pound the world’s best”. In a roundabout way, that’s what’s happening this week here at the studio. This Saturday night on PPV, boxing’s pound for pound best, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fights Juan Manual Marquez. This will be their third confrontation, the first ending in a draw and the second in a […]

CNN 9/11 Ten Years Later

We are honored to be entrusted by CNN to create the music for their coverage of “9/11- Ten Years Later.” CNN will use the music in a range of shows and promotions during the week leading up to the commemoration, and a secondary, more sparse arrangement will play behind CNN’s live coverage of the unveiling of the 9/11 Memorial on Sunday, September 11. In the creative process with the network, […]

Three’s Company?

For those in the industry, you know that mastering a song takes time and effort. Record producer Rick Rubin requested an iTunes-specific master on the latest Red Hot Chili Peppers release, I’m With You. The song now has three formats one for iTunes, one for CD, and one for Vinyl. Although unusual now, this trio of formats, may soon become mainstream. Which format do you prefer – tell us your thoughts! http://bit.ly/qBN4iC
