Wrapping up the Blog for 2009

We would like to announce that In the Jungle will be taking a “holiday hiatus” over the festive season. We will quite literally be “wrapping it up” for Christmas and we will be back, bigger and brighter, in 2010. The wait will definitely be worth it however as we’re going to be changing the format of all our blogs in the new year.

Featured Author of the Week: MartynHarvey

MartynHarvey is a partnership between English composers Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey. Their AudioJungle portfolio is predominantly based on compositions for the children’s music genre and classical, fully orchestrated numbers. What I particularly like about MartynHarvey’s music is how soft and understated it is, which draws the listener in and makes them listen to the fine nuances demonstrated throughout each track. Their work in the children’s genre is particularly impressive for their compositions perfectly capture the playfulness and innocence of what it’s like to be a small child in an exciting, big world.

Here are some highlights from MartynHarvey’s portfolio:
