The music and sound effects company Audio Network Plc announced today that it has made the prestigious SoundStorm sound effects catalogue available online on its web site at www.audiolicense.net. Nineteen years of recording authentic sound for films has resulted in a legendary sound resource, which is unparalleled in its depth and quality. The effects have been used in many of Hollywood’s most famous films including Tomb Raider, Batman, The Fast and the Furious, Star Trek and Clint Eastwood’s movies. The Oscar winning team at SoundStorm were founding partners of Audio Network assigning to Audio Network the exclusive global exploitation rights to the vast in-house sound catalogue. Commercial Director Robert Hurst said: “Our partnership with Soundstorm allows even the smallest production company access to the quality sound resources used by Hollywood’s premier sound editorial team.” John Switzer, VP of Soundstorm added: “Audio Network and Soundstorm are continuing the massive task of digitising, classifying and loading the entire sound archive to our sound servers and expect to roll out a further 10,000 new effects every three months.” Audio Network has also signed deals to make some of the SoundStorm effects available through third party distributors. NOTES FOR EDITORS: The founding shareholders in Audio Network include Robert Hurst and Andrew Sunnucks, the former CFO and Media Director from Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishing Division who left there in June 2001 to set up the new company with Soundstorm and other composer/producer shareholders led by John Dankworth.

Customers pay an annual subscription fee and can use as much music as they want. The music can also be searched and streamed on line, with music also being supplied to members on CDs. Andrew Sunnucks's background is as a music producer. He set up his own London based production company Big Picture Music in 1992, and sold it to Boosey & Hawkes in 1998 becoming their Media Director in the process.
