How to Proceed: Standard Way
If you would like to use a specific track of our catalog, please fill out the detail of your project and request a quote via License Request Form. We will get back to you after we discuss your offer and figure out the quote. We may attach a draft of our agreement and invoice as well if we don’t need any more clarification about your project.
If we reach an agreement as to the licensing terms, please pay the license fee and send us your paperwork. Shortly after we confirm your payment, we will send a required audio file (high-quality WAV) to you.
If you’re interested in requesting alternative mixes and edits of pre-existing songs, please ask us via License Form as well. Be sure to specify your musical needs as closely as possible.
Examples:
“I would like to use a non-choir mix of Dark Model’s “Rage and Redemption” for my film project.”
“Can I use just a whistling part of Captain Funk’s “Alex Whistles” as a sound logo for my TV commercial project?”
Also, if you haven’t been able to find a suitable track for your project yet (while you’re interested in using our music), don’t hesitate to let us know what kind of music you’re seeking via License Form as well. The more detailed, the more helpful.
Examples:
“We are looking for music that includes both orchestral and edgy electronic elements such as Dark Model’s “Fate.” Also, its tempo should be around 130 BPM. Do you have any tracks that satisfy those conditions?”
“Do you have any other classical piano tracks based on minimalism like OE’s ‘Tessera’? We are interested in using that sort of music in our film.”
