Brandon D'Amore Productions
Brandon D’ Amore Productions (BDP) has been in business since 1992. Since our inception, we have tirelessly strived for excellence, unceasingly producing quality music, imaging workparts and SFX for the radio and broadcast industries. Our aspirations are to provide the best quality services to: production directors, imaging directors, music supervisors, producers, and editors. BDP provides a comprehensive catalog of over 30,000 tracks of production music and imaging effects. We update our libraries monthly with hundreds of new tracks, and are always working with new composers to keep our catalog fresh.

In 2005, BDP teamed up with the Slynth system to make the fastest, most intuitive online production search available in the industry today. The Slynth audio search stands out above the rest because of its speed, intuitiveness and its ability to search by genre, style, tempo, main instrument, key word, composer, and more. With account management capabilities, users can create and share playlists; download approval and tracking can be maintained; and naturally, music supervisors, producers, and editors ultimately maintain complete control over the music they license.

Right now, across the world, you'll find music supervisors, editors, and producers using BDP libraries and Slynth. Our libraries are also used at companies like Clear Channel, Citadel, Turner, Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC. BDP also works with hundreds of TV and radio stations and thousands of post production facilities.

Brandon D'Amore
Brandon D’Amore is a musician and a composer whose found a permanent home in the world of digital audio production. He was fortunate to be on the scene when rudimentary digital recording and editing was just becoming a reality on large systems such as the Synclavier. Throughout the 1980’s, he not only rode the wave of recording and music technology but also participated in its development. While working for various studios in New York, he became a beta tester for New England Digital’s, developing their line of equipment starting with Post Pro. His experience utilizing the equipment writing music for commercial and television production resulted in modifications that were incorporated into the device.

Mr. D’Amore’s virtuosity with the Post Pro eventually took him to Los Angeles to adapt a Synclavier purchased by ABC into a machine that could make radio programs. A number of hurdles had to be overcome, but in the end, he delivered radio’s first all-digital show, "American Top 40". The technology allowed ABC to make custom versions of the show for various markets and clients, increasing revenues without additional costs.

When ABC moved their production facilities to Dallas, D’Amore took over the studios and created his own company, Brandon D’Amore Productions (BDP). The studio continues to produce syndicated programs including "The World Chart Show" which is broadcast on hundreds of top radio stations in over 45 countries. In addition, he has focused his own considerable musical talents composing production music packages for use by radio and TV stations around the world. His two current libraries, "Invasion" and "Supercharger" contain over 2,500 music compositions and sound effects and are utilized by over 350 stations in 23 countries.

Mr. D’Amore’s latest project, with partner Rod West, is "TunEdge", a music/sounder library that addresses the unique needs of television production. The library will be released in April ’99 at MIP – TV, the international television production market held annually in Cannes, France. Mr. D’Amore also oversees the weekly production of "American Top 40 with Casey Kasem" and the "World Chart Show". Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM, ABC among others are regular clients.

All these projects can be traced back to a childhood fascination with production which led him to set up his first studio at age 17 producing music for "Lifestyles of the rich and Famous" and commercials for local businesses such as the Fireside Deli and the Tri-State Chevy dealers.

Rod West
Rod West started his broadcast career as a teen in his hometown of Grand Rapids, MI when he built a radio station in his high school.  This began a series of successful positions at WPRO/Providence, WHTT/Boston, Z-100/New York, and KIIS/Los Angeles.

Mr. West was the General Manager of ABC Watermark, the entertainment syndication division of ABC Radio Networks.  In this role, Rod oversaw the production of two giants in the world of syndication:  "American Top 40" and American Country Countdown" which still hold the records as the longest running, highest revenue producing syndicated programs.  Rod was also responsible at ABC for four other national weekly programs and created and produced over 50 special products to extend the revenue potential of these program franchises.  They include "The Rolling Stones Special" and the 50-hour-"History of Rock and Roll".

With an investment from two liver transplant doctors, Rod and host Blair Garner created After Midnite, the syndicated overnight country radio show, which, after three years and over 250 stations, was sold to Clear Channel.

He currently is a partner in TunEdge, a music production company serving television and radio stations worldwide.
