CUSTOM buyout music?
You need music. It has to be great, it has to be cheap, and it has to be NOW. Relax -- Whether you need an original TV cue, a complete orchestral score for game development, an electronica music bed for radio advertising, a song to license for film, or a groovy loop for your PowerPoint presentation or web site -- I'll take care of you. I assure 100% all-in (both sides) for every situation. A true one-stop one-stop.
The appeal of most buyout music is speed and affordability. But directors, producers, game developers and corporate presenters would all prefer original music. What if they could have it all? YOU can...with custom buyout music.
Quality & Originality
Primarily, I'm a true boutique music production service. My library's not as big as some of the mega production music houses, but my composer rates can rival their needledrop licensing. I don't offer a completely automated transaction, but I'll beat anybody's delivery time on that 39-second fade-out mix.
I encourage you to add impact and prestige to your project with original music.
You might notice I don't include any traditional video reels on this site. There's a reason for that: I want you to hear that my music stands up by itself. That's one quality that I think sets my work apart from what you can get from the big music libraries: My stuff doesn't sound like production music!
No job is too small or too big: I've written, recorded and delivered a 5-second stinger in less than an hour and composed a full-length original score presented in an experimental 10.2 surround format. Virtually any music style: orchestral, electronica, acoustic jazz...all original AND royalty-free.
Fast Production & Licensing
Can't make time for a custom composition? My label, Vitalegacy Records specializes in great jazz, blues, swing, lounge and novelty music, and I have a growing library of unique cues in many additional styles. You have my entire catalog to choose from and we actively work with procrastinators like you who have commissioned original music -- I keep all ownership, publishing and writing, of my ultra-low budget packages -- so every gig simultaneously builds my production music library and adds distinction and variety to every track.
I'll complete and deliver your music on CD, upload wav, mp3 or aiff files straight to your FTP folder (or set it up for downloading on my server with your own personal password-protected directory), even place them directly into your Flash file or web page -- before your deadline. I'm quicker because I understand programming (how do you like this web site I designed, built, and maintain entirely myself? Hey, a guy's gotta have a hobby) and cross-platform issues, and I do everything in-house.
Affordable Music
You won't find a composer or music service more cooperative with your budget. Combined with the cost-cutting power of my fast turnaround, I take a lot of pride in my work and in my desire to earn an honest living. I think that pride shows in my work - take a listen! To your left. No, the other left. Play button.
Remember, the buzz-word "royalty-free" doesn't apply to everyone: If you're doing a non-profit or in-company project, for example, your presentation doesn't have to pay royalties to Performing Rights Organizations like ASCAP and BMI. Even if your production is intended for liable public performance, if you can fill out a cue sheet, you're clear with me! And it couldn't be more straight-forward with my affiliated PRO - SESAC, an invitation-only PRO I'm very proud to be associated with.
Just because you don't have a big budget doesn't mean you can't have a quality product. I have extra-flexible rates for independent productions, because I am one!
