LOS ANGELES — Eddie Powell, composer for New Sensations’ XBIZ Award-winning series, “The Submission of Emma Marx," has just released the first of three soundtracks for the film’s franchise.
Since its inception five years ago, Emma Marx has reportedly won more than thirty awards around the world. Among those awards was a Best Soundtrack win.
The director of photographer and editor for each of the “Emma Marx” installments, Powell began composing original music for the series while working on “The Submission of Emma Marx — Boundaries.” A self-taught musician who’s been involved in musical composition for over twenty years, Powell initially sound-tracked his films out of necessity.
“Music libraries, although vast, often lack the thematic feel a film needs to carry it through from start to finish. I grew frustrated by my inability to track a film cohesively,” Powell said. “Why spend so much time writing and producing a film and then have it fizzle out in post? This was my way of trying to elevate what we’d already done.”
Powell never thought this venture into film scoring would be anything beyond utility until his collaborative partner, Jacky St. James, began forwarding him mail from fans around the world — all asking where they could download the soundtrack, he reported.
“At first I thought it was a one-off thing,” St. James said, “until people started reaching out to me weekly asking where they could download songs from the film.” It was then that Powell decided it was time to make his music available to the public.
Since “The Submission of Emma Marx — Boundaries,” Powell has composed the soundtrack to several other films for New Sensations (“The Temptation of Eve,” “The Sexual Liberation of Anna Lee,” etc.) and will be releasing subsequent albums in the coming months.
“The Submission of Emma Marx — Boundaries” album can be found at any of the following online stores: ITunes, Apple Music, Google Play or streaming on Spotify here.
