Due to the site's use of audio samples to supplement the coverage, however, these tools must offer a download option to be of use (as opposed to simply a streaming option).<br> <br> Digital promos must contain lossless files unless no lossless commercial purchasing option exists. Likewise, digital promos must contain a PDF of the booklet unless none is distributed with the product commercially. In all cases, CDs will receive a higher probability of coverage than digital promos.<br> <br> Most importantly, if you would like to know the odds of receiving coverage at Filmtracks for your product, contact the editor and you will receive a very realistic assessment about your chances. As detailed on the contact page, however, be patient in receiving a response from the editor.<br> <br> Once a working relationship is established, your e-mails will be automatically sent to the forefront of the editor's inbox for quick response. If you are not satisfied with only review coverage, an advertising contract is always an option. Bribes from record producers have been attempted in the past, but they are not always effective!<br> <br> Also Note: Because of his distance from Los Angeles, Filmtracks' editor does not mingle with or interview composers or any other entity involved in the industry. Therefore, you (and the readers) can be assured that all of Filmtracks' reviews are completely unbiased.<br> </td></tr></table> <table class="LeftColumnTableLine" style="width: 273px;"> <tr><td style="width: 273px; height: 4px; background: url(/images/2015/interior/left_column_line.gif) no-repeat left;"> </td></tr></table> </div> <div style="font-size: 0.95em; padding: 40px 34px 40px 12px;"> Christian Clemmensen is a member of the <a href="http://filmmusiccritics.org" target="_blank">International Film Music Critics Association</a> and the <a href="https://www.ncmpr.org" target="_blank">National Council for Marketing & Public Relations</a>.<br> </div> </td></tr></table> <!-- end "LeftColumnTable2" --> <img alt="Decorative Nonsense" src="/images/2015/interior/left_column_bottom_pattern_trans.png" style="display: block;"> <!-- </td></tr> <tr><td style="width: 286px; height: 20px; background: url(/images/2015/interior/left_column_bottom.gif) no-repeat bottom left;"> --> </td></tr></table> <!-- end "LeftColumnTable" --> <div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 34px;"> </div> </td><td style="width: 748px;"><div style="padding: 66px 0px 30px 0px;"> <div style="padding-right: 60px;"> <table class="navlinks"><tr> <td style="background: url(/images/2009/shared/rowboxleft.gif) repeat-x bottom; padding-bottom: 5px; width: 20px;">&nbsp;</td> <td style="background: url(/images/2009/shared/rowboxback.gif) repeat-x bottom; padding: 0px 10px 5px 10px; text-align: center; text-shadow: 2px 2px #000, 1px 1px 4px #000, 1px 1px 10px #000;"> &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="/contact/">Contact the Site</a>&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="/news/">Site Updates</a>&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="#editor">About the Editor</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; </td> <td style="background: url(/images/2009/shared/rowboxright.gif) repeat-x bottom; padding-bottom: 5px; width: 20px;">&nbsp;</td></tr></table> </div> <div style="margin: 50px 58px 60px 26px; font-size: 0.95em;"> <div style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 30px 30px; width: 185px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="Logos" src="/about/logos.jpg" width="175" height="370"> </div> Originally published in November 1995, Filmtracks.com was officially launched in October 1996, serving the movie soundtrack industry with its first library of original online reviews. Almost two decades and hundreds of millions of page views later, Filmtracks remains the most visible elder statesman of the soundtrack genre on the web. It is solely owned and operated by veteran writer and webmaster Christian Clemmensen from the America's Big Sky Country (the states of Montana, Wyoming, and Washington).<br> <br> Filmtracks has always existed at a crossroads between the movie and music industries, with soundtracks attracting both movie-goers and music enthusiasts alike. There are two different but consistent crowds of visitors at the site: first, the 3,000 to 5,000 hardcore soundtrack collectors, and second, the tens of thousands of casual movie and music fans each day who come to the site seeking album or artist information, opinions on movies, lyrics, sheet music, and more. Based on internal surveys, these viewers tend to be between the ages of 18 and 32, 60% male, liberal-leaning, and habitual movie-goers.<br> <br> As a content site, Filmtracks features about two million words of unique review material. Extensive information about each album covered at the site prompts significant user participation, with hundreds of thousands of forum comments and millions of votes submitted throughout the site. The reviews and attached comment areas receive almost all of the traffic from the casual movie-going fans, while the home page, primary "Scoreboard" forum, and internal search engine receive consistent viewership from the hardcore soundtrack collectors. The site's objective is to continue providing content that bridges the gap between both types of viewership.<br> <br> Within the soundtrack genre, Filmtracks' traffic is substantially greater than that of younger sites offering similar content. The initial burst of interest in the site was fueled by hundreds of links to individual reviews from the Yahoo! Directory in the 1990's, as well as recognition from Entertainment Weekly, CNN, and Variety Magazine, among others, within the first five years. Since then, Filmtracks has continued to build upon its core followers due to its industry-defying longevity. When the economic downturn of the late 2000's caused the site to rely upon visitor donations to survive for a few years, its base readership remained strong and enthusiastic about its continued legacy.<Br> <br> Any longtime reader of Filmtracks can testify that the site's sense of humor is one of its main attractions. Because of the constant flow of mainstream movie-going traffic into Filmtracks, as well as lenient rules of participation in its forums, there is an affable and accepting personality that defines its confines as substantially as its intentionally and distinctively retro designs. As with any large site, bizarre human behavior is inevitable, and such depravity is embraced to the degree that it does not interfere with the site's operations.<br> <br> <a name="editor"> Please enjoy your stay at Filmtracks and, if you appreciate the site's goal of supporting soundtracks in an era when they are declining in mainstream popularity, you are encouraged to donate (<a href="/donations/">see details here</a>) to ensure continued coverage of great, obscure music in the genre. For those promoting music in the field, please consult with the instructions regarding promotional materials on the left side of this page, and, as always, contact the site at any time. Due to the huge quantity of e-mail that comes in to the site daily, it may take a few days to receive a response.

His musical background includes a decade of formal piano training and performance, as well as another decade of study in motion picture scores.<br> <br> While maintaining Filmtracks as a part-time occupation, Christian has also provided his expertise as a web lead, graphic designer, programmer, and system administrator for large organizations in the public and private sectors. From 2003 to 2012, he helmed all of these services for a group of General Motors auto dealers in Montana and Idaho. In 2013, he joined the Marketing & Communications department of Western Wyoming Community College as its Webmaster and contributed as an adjunct instructor of courses in web development, the student newspaper, and public speaking, his experience teaching communications courses dating back to his days at the University of Washington in the late 1990's. Upon returning to the Seattle area in 2015, he served as Director of Web Services in the Seattle College District, the Strategic Advisor of Web Content for Seattle Public Utilities, and Senior Web Producer for the City of Seattle.<br> <br> Christian developed his technology skills in Mountain View, California during the "dark ages" of the Internet (a.k.a. 1995) before applying these skills at employers in both Seattle and Missoula, Montana shortly thereafter. His freelance website projects have included political campaigns, small businesses, and special events, though he retired from private consulting and freelance web project work in 2012. An enthusiast of wickedly crafted rhetoric and poignant public performance, he also enjoys writing, professional baseball, laughing at odd human behavior, digital arts, American political skulduggery, extreme Lego creations (10,000 brick minimum), and debating theories about the nature of the universe with his wife, Stella, and sons, Caelen and Sjoren.<br> <br> If you are a friend, current or past associate, or longtime Filmtracks reader, don't hesitate to send Christian an e-mail or an invitation request at <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/christian-clemmensen/71/130/284">LinkedIn</a>.
