Brave New Productions announces release of "Brave & New: Music Inspired by the First 10 Years"

The team at Brave New Productions have had a busy year making the most of our 10th anniversary. From our very special run of Yasmina Reza’s ‘ART’, to the topical and ground-breaking “Standing On Ceremony”, we are constantly coming up with new ways to be creative and entertain. This year saw the launch of “Brave New Comedy” – with it’s podcasts, web series and live shows – and now we are very excited to announce something entirely Brave & New.

“Brave & New: Music Inspired by the first 10 Years” is a special project, nine months in the making. Working with a team of passionate producers, we set out to create a unique soundtrack for the past ten years. Utilizing themes and sound samples from our shows, we’ve put together a truly special collection of songs that run the gamut of electronica styles. Sampling dozens of audio bits reaching all the way back to our first play, each song is a testament to the power of persistence, passion, friendship and – perhaps most importantly – the power of staying playful.

By including the voices of our team the album has transformed into a celebration of not only our story but the incredible people we’ve worked with. The samples may be remixed and used subtly, but they are there – infused in each song, providing an element that makes this project truly original.

We’ve had the great fortune of working with an incredible roster of musicians including: Luca Sands, Nana Sam, Julien Marlow & more as we’ve put together this compilation – which doubles as a fundraising initiative for the company. Every penny from record sales will be invested directly into our upcoming Brave New Production. “Brave & New” will be available in digital stores this August. A physical CD will be available for purchase this September.

Download the album, light some candles, put on your best earphones (or blare your best speakers) and enjoy “Brave & New: The First 10 Years”. Oh, and if you should feel the urge to dance – don’t resist!
