These days, there are a lot of good music being created and made available to the public. The Internet has certainly been an excellent tool for this purpose. With all this music out there, today’s artists, songwriters and composers can feel they are just small fish in a huge ocean. But there is a whole industry that exists that many people are not even aware of the fact that ocean much smaller.

Have you ever watched a television commercial or a movie or heard a radio ad and I was wondering where the background music came from? Certainly, there are dozens of composers to compose music tenancy size on a per project basis. However, this can sometimes be too costly for the project budget. Consequently, there are two similar but distinct industries that exist to fill the need for music without hassle and cost of pre-authorized, and each specializes in their field.

1) Songs For Film & TV. Industry Song independent pre-approved songs represent the artist and the height of their equipment when needed. Uses include, movies, television and radio / television. One place to promote your music for such uses is “Museeka. Com. Not only do they offer the artist page of your own “free”, but they also give you the opportunity to have your music considered for use in film and television industries. You can find more information by visiting www. Museeka. Artist COM and search for “Join”. Another great site to check the promotion of your songs for these uses is “Taxi” to www. taxi. com

2) Instrumental Music Production. “Industry music production includes collections of instrumental music and makes it available for film, television and media industry to use an easy hassle free. Uses include films , television shows and commercials, radio spots, documentaries, corporate videos, multimedia presentations, and many others.

Songs for film, television and advertising is a narrow niche that is extremely complex in terms of negotiating a fee structure. Some of these considerations are: Does the film containing the song is a film that will release a limited or general release in North America or the world? The video will be for sale or lease 6 months after the theatrical release? How many copies will be made, and in which territories are available? Will the film be translated into a foreign language in the future? Will it be seen as a re-run of 5, 10 15 or 20 years from now on television late at night? Will he be shown on airlines as entertainment? Is that the song will be included on a CD soundtrack “and sold in stores? Each of these has its own tax purposes and must be detailed in the contract, it is best left to people who specialize in this area to negotiation.

Basically, the producers look for songs that are in phase with the same message that their production is trying to convey. For example, a song for a car ad will project the image of freedom and independence, attitude, wealth or any other feeling they want you to imagine having this in your car. Likewise, songs from movies or television shows have to adapt to the stage where they are used. I recently had contact my producer who was looking for a sexy jazz vocal piece for a scene in a movie where the main players were walking through a smoky bar. The music should create the mood of the scene in the viewer’s mind. I also had many requests for songs that have been “positive and inspiring, without being religious.” America the Beautiful “is an excellent example of this type of song.

Many people ask, “Why not just use popular songs producing CD available in stores? They can, but it will cost them much time to get permission and a sum of money. (Microsoft The Rolling Stones would have paid seven figures to use a small snippet of their song “Start Me Up” TV spot). They could even be denied permission, regardless of cost. Permission must be sought from two different parties and the publisher (the owner of copyright in music today) and the record company (the owner of copyright in the recording).

instrumental music production industry is similar to the song, except it is easier to get music placed as there are more opportunities available. music companies to release CDs of instrumental music (all styles) and offer it to producers in 3 different ways:

1) global license – For an annual fee, the producer has the unrestricted right to use the music on a rental basis for a fixed period. 2) License Laserdrop – Music is available to the producer on a pay-per-use “basis, and must pay a fixed fee each time they use the music provided by the company. 3) Buy-Out License – The producer buys the CD of production music pure and simple, and the purchase price includes the right to unlimited use of music forever.

In each case above, the producer is still required to submit cue sheets and use the company to report the performance of all appropriate rights to public performance of any production containing music. This allows both the composer and the publisher to collect royalties for performance. This statement does not include additional costs for the producer.

What does “copyright”? It is the protection granted by the State (Board of Directors of each country) to those who create intellectual property such as literary, dramatic, musical, etc. “Copyright” itself consists of three distinct rights:

1) Mechanical Rights – the right to make copies (tapes, CDs, videos, etc.) of copyrighted works. No one can make a mechanical reproduction of musical works without the permission of the copyright holder.

2) synchronization rights – The right timing, re-register or use a recording of music in timed relation with a visual image or audio or another voice. This includes all forms of radio advertisements and television shows, movies, videos, etc.

3) performance rights – the right to perform musical works in public radio, television, concert halls, restaurants and bars, background music systems (banks, grocery stores, lifts), and so on. Radio and television stations pay an annual fee for the performing rights societies (like BMI, ASCAP, SOCAN, PRS, etc.) for the right to play music on the airwaves. According to the information that those companies receiving stations (ie tail leaves), composers and publishers concerned get their appropriate share of the fees of the show (residue) which is paid from the pool of funds collected. The performing rights societies are part of an international network of subsidiaries, the exchange of music content and information program and to collect and distribute the costs of the stage to composers and publishers worldwide.

What does it take to have your music considered? Following criteria:

* Your songs or instrumental music must be professionally recorded and mastered, and be of superior quality.

* You must own your own publishing, copyright and master recording. In other words, you do not have assigned such rights to any other person or company.

* You must be agreements and release forms with the producers, artists, etc. studio you control all the rights and they are not entitled to an income that can be generated as a result of the execution or the use of your song or instrumental music.

* You must recognize that your song or composition is quite original, and you do not copy any part of any other source. All samples (if it is used in music) must be pre-authorized and royalty.

I hope this article has been beneficial to help you understand this segment of the music industry. If you have any instrumental music that you want to be considered for inclusion in a library of production music, just do a web search for music production “and read every page of their communication policies.

In future articles, I will focus on issues related to public domain and protection of copyright.

Good luck to you all, and always keep faith in yourself and trust that the Universe will guide you in the right direction!

These days, there are plenty of good music is created and made available to the public. The Internet has certainly been a very good tool for this purpose. With all this music out there, today’s artists, songwriters and composers in May believe they are only small fish in a vast ocean. But there is a whole industry that exists that many people are not even aware of this ocean is a whole lot smaller.

Have you ever watched a television commercial or a movie or heard a radio message and wondered where the music came back? Certainly, there are scores of composers for hire who used to compose music project. However, this can sometimes be too costly for the project budget. Consequently, there are two areas of similar but distinct activities that exist to meet the need of pre-cleared music without hassle free and inexpensive, and each specializes in its field.

1) Songs for Film & TV. The pre-approved, industry Song independent songs represent the artist and the height of their equipment if necessary. Uses include, movies, TV shows and radio and television commercials. One place to promote your music for these uses is “museek. Com. Not only do they offer you free your own “artist” page, but they also give you the opportunity to have your song considered for use in film and television industries. You can find more information, visit www. museek. com and search for “Artist Signup.” Another great site to visit to promote your songs for these uses is ‘Taxi’ at www. taxi. com

2) Instrumental “Music Production”. The music industry producers together collections of instrumental music and makes it available for film, television and media industry to facilitate hassle-free use. Uses include movies, TV shows and commercials, radio spots, documentaries, corporate videos, multimedia presentations, and many others.

Songs for film, television and advertising is a narrow niche that is extremely complex in terms of negotiating a fee structure. Among the considerations are: Does the film containing the song being a limited release movie or be it a general release in North America or the world? The video will be released for sale or lease 6 months after leaving the theater? How many copies will be made and in which territories are available? Will the film be translated into foreign languages in the future? It will be presented as a re-run 5, 10 15 or 20 years from now on television late at night? It will be shown on airlines as entertainment? The song will be included on a CD “soundtrack” and sold in stores? Each of these uses has its own expense and must be detailed in the contract, it is best left to people who specialize in this area for negotiation.

Basically, the producers look for songs that are in phase with the same message that their production is trying to convey. For example, a song for a car ad will project the image of freedom and independence, attitude, wealth or any other feeling they want you to imagine being the owner of this car. Likewise, songs from films or television programs have to adapt to the stage where they are used. I recently had a producer contact me who was looking for a piece of jazz singing for a sexy scene in a movie where the main actors walk into a smoky bar. The music should create the atmosphere of the scene in the viewer’s mind. I also received many requests for songs that were “positive and uplifting, without being religious.” America the Beautiful “is an excellent example of this type of song.

Many people ask: “Why do not the producers simply using popular songs CD available in stores? They can, but it will cost them much time to obtain authorization and a sum of considerable money. (Microsoft have The Rolling Stones paid seven figures to use a small snippet of their song “Start Me Up” in a TV ad). They could even be denied regardless of cost. Permission must be sought from both parties different publisher (the owner of copyright in music today) and label (owner of copyright in the recording).

Production of instrumental music is similar to the industry of the song except that it is easier to get music placed as there are many more opportunities available. Company production of music CD releases of instrumental music (all styles) and offer it to producers in 3 different ways:

1) global license – For an annual fee, the producer has the unrestricted right to use music on a rental basis for a fixed period. 2) License Laserdrop – Music is available to the producer on a “pay-per-use” basis, and must pay a fixed fee each time they use the music provided by the company. 3) Buy-Out License – The producer buys the CD music of total production, and the purchase price includes the right to unlimited use of music forever.

In each case above, the producer is still required to submit cue sheets and use the company to report performance for all appropriate rights of public performance of a production with music. This allows both the composer and the publisher to collect performance royalties. This statement does not include additional costs for the producer.

What is “copyright”? It is the protection granted by the state (governing body of each country) to those who create intellectual property such as literary, dramatic, musical, etc. “Copyright” itself consists of three distinct rights:

1) The mechanical rights – the right to make copies (tapes, videos, CDs, etc.) of copyrighted works. No one can make a mechanical reproduction of a work protected music without permission of the copyright holder.

2) synchronization rights – the right to synchronize, re-register or use a musical recording in temporal correlation with a visual image or audio or another voice. This would include all forms of radio and commercials, programs, films, videos, etc.

3) performance rights – the right to perform music in public, through radio, television, concert halls, restaurants and bars, systems background music (banks, grocery stores, elevators) and so on. Radio and television pay an annual fee for the rights of corporate performance (such as BMI, ASCAP, SOCAN, PRS, etc.) for the right to interpret the music on the airwaves. According to the data that these companies receive stations (cue sheets for example), composers and publishers concerned get their appropriate actions to accomplish the charge (residue) which is paid from the pool of funds collected. Companies performing rights are part of an international network of subsidiaries which sheets of reference and information exchange program and collect and distribute the costs of interpretation for composers and publishers around the world.

What does it take to have your music considered? Following criteria:

* Your songs and instrumental music must be professionally recorded and mastered, and be of superior quality.

* You must have your own edition, author and Master Recording. In other words, you do not have assigned such rights to any other person or company.

* You must have agreements / release forms with the producers, performers, etc. studio you control all the rights and they are not entitled to an income that is generated in May following the performance or the use your song or instrumental music.

* You must recognize that your song or composition is quite original, and you do not copy any part of any other source. All samples (if used in your music) must be pre-authorized and royalty.

I hope this article has been beneficial to help you understand this segment of the music industry. If you have an instrumental music that you want to be considered for inclusion in a library of production music, make a simple web search for “music production” and read each of the sites for their communication policies.

In future articles I will cover issues related to public domain and protection of copyright.

Good luck to you all, and always keep faith in yourself and trust that the universe will guide you in the right direction!

These days, there is a great amount of good music being created and made available to the public. The internet has certainly been a great tool to that end. With all this music out there, today’s artists, songwriters and composers may feel that they are but tiny fish in a huge ocean. But there is a whole industry that exists that many people aren’t even aware of that makes this ocean a whole lot smaller.

Have you ever watched a TV show, commercial or a movie, or heard a radio commercial and wondered where the background music came from? Certainly there are scores of composers for hire who custom compose music on a per project basis. However, this can at times be too expensive for the project’s budget. As a result, there are two similar yet separate industries that exist to fill the need for pre-cleared hassle-free and inexpensive music, and each specializes in their own field.

1) Songs for Film & TV. The Pre-cleared Song industry will represent independent songs on behalf of the artist and pitch their material where appropriate. Uses include, films, TV shows and radio / television commercials. One of the places to promote your music for these uses is “museeks. com”. Not only do they offer you your own free ‘artist’ page, but they also give you the opportunity to have your songs considered for use in the film and TV industries. You can find out more information by visiting www. museeks. com and look for ‘Artist Signup’. Another great site to check to promote your songs for these uses is ‘Taxi’ at www. taxi. com

2) Instrumental “Production Music”. The Production Music industry puts together collections of instrumental music and makes it available to the film, TV, and media industry for easy, hassle free use. Uses include films, TV shows and commercials, radio spots, documentaries, corporate videos, multi-media presentations, and many others.

Songs for film, TV and commercials is a narrow niche that is extremely complicated in terms of negotiating a fee structure. Some of the considerations are as follows: Will the movie containing the song be a limited release film or will it be a general release across North America or the world? Will the video be released for sale or rent 6 months after the theater release? How many copies will be made, and in what territories will they be available? Will the film be translated into a foreign language in the future? Will it be shown as a re-run 5, 10 15 or 20 years from now on late night TV? Will it be shown on airlines as entertainment? Will the song be included on a “soundtrack CD” and sold in stores? Each of these uses has its own fee and must be itemized in the Contract, so it is best left up to people who specialize in this field to do the negotiating.

Basically, producers look for songs that are in sync with the same message that their production is trying to convey. For example, a song for a car commercial will have to project the image of freedom and independence, attitude, affluence or whatever other feelings they want you to imagine by owning that car. Similarly, songs for films or TV shows have to fit the scene where they will be used. I recently had a producer contact me who was looking for a sexy jazz vocal piece for a scene in a film where the lead actors were walking through a smoky bar. The music has to create the mood of the scene in the mind of the viewer. I have also had many requests for songs that were “positive and uplifting” without being religious. “America The Beautiful” is a prime example of this type of song.

Many people ask, “why don’t producers simply use popular songs from CD’s available in stores”? They can, but it will cost them a lot of time in securing permission as well as a considerable amount of money. (Microsoft reportedly paid The Rolling Stones seven figures to use a small snippet of their song “Start Me Up” in a TV commercial). They could even be refused permission regardless of cost. Permission would have to be sought from two different parties; the publisher (owner of the copyright in the actual music) and from the record company (owner of the copyright in the recording).

Instrumental production music is similar to the song industry except that it is easier to get music placed as there are many more opportunities available. Production music companies press CDs of instrumental music (all styles) and offer it to producers in 3 different ways:

1) Blanket License – For an annual fee, the producer has the unlimited right to use the music on a lease basis for a specified term.
2) Laserdrop License – Music is made available to the producer on a “pay-per-use” basis, and he must pay a set fee each time he uses music provided by the company.
3) Buy-Out License – The producer purchases the CD’s of production music outright, and the purchase price includes the right to unlimited use of the music forever.

In each of the above cases, the producer is still required to submit cue sheets and report usage to the appropriate performance rights society for all public performance of any production containing the music. This allows both the composer and the publisher to collect performance royalties. This reporting does not involve an additional fee to the producer.

What is “Copyright”? It is the protection given by the state (governing body of each country) to those who create intellectual property such as literary works, plays, musical compositions, etc. “Copyright” itself includes three separate and distinct rights:

1) Mechanical Rights – The right to make copies (tapes, CD’s, videos, etc) of copyrighted works. No person can make a mechanical reproduction of a copyrighted musical work without the permission of the copyright owner.

2) Synchronization Rights – The right to synchronize, re-record or utilize a musical recording in timed relation with a visual image or another sound or voice. This would include all forms of radio or TV commercials, shows, motion pictures, videos, etc.

3) Performance Rights – The right to perform musical works in public through radio, television, concert halls, restaurants and bars, background music systems (banks, grocery stores, elevators), and so on. Radio and TV stations pay an annual fee to the performance rights societies (such as BMI, ASCAP, SOCAN, PRS etc) for the right to perform music over the air. From the data that these societies receive from stations (i. e. cue sheets), the relevant composers and publishers get their appropriate shares of performing fees (residuals) which is paid out from the pool of funds collected. The performing rights societies are part of an international network of affiliates which exchange cue sheets and program information and collect and distribute performing fees to composers and publishers around the world.

What does it take to have your music considered? Here’s the Criteria:

* Your songs or instrumental music must be professionally recorded and mastered, and be of top quality.

* You must own your own Publishing, Copyright and Master Recording. In other words, you have not assigned these rights to any other person or company.

* You must have agreements/release forms with the producer, performers, studio etc that you control all rights and that they have no claim to any income that may be generated as a result of the performance or use of your song or instrumental music.

* You must acknowledge that your song or composition is completely original, and that you did not copy any part from any other source. All samples (if used in your music) must be pre-cleared and royalty-free.

I hope that this article has been beneficial in helping you to understand this segment of the music industry. If you have instrumental music that you would like to be considered for inclusion in a production music library, simply do a web search for “production music” and read each site for their submission policies.

In future articles, I will cover issues related to public domain and copyright protection.

Good Luck to all of you, and always keep faith in yourself and trust that the Universe will guide you in the right direction!
