APM Music Creates Music Licensing Breakthrough for WEVA Members
March 15, 2012
Hollywood, CA - With recent legalities still swirling over the use of copyrighted
music in wedding films and event productions, APM Music, Hollywood's go-to
music source and North America's leading production music library has
teamed with WEVA to create affordable access to original production music by top composers and songwriters at licensing fees discounted exclusively for WEVA members. It's an all-new way to rock your business!
Use the Same Production Music Hollywood Uses
Everyone who has ever experienced music synchronized in films, trailers, TV shows and photomontages knows the undeniable impact that it plays. APM Music, a joint venture of EMI Music Publishing and Universal Music Publishing, has been a crucial part of that experience for over 29 years with everything from the smallest of indie films to the largest blockbuster studio releases; TV sit-coms to commercials; and, sports broadcasting to video games and more.
Recent APM Music credits include "Bridesmaids," "The Hangover," "Boardwalk Empire,""Glee," "30 Rock," "The Good Wife" and sports programming including NFL, ESPN, MLB and PGA. More APM credits can be seen on their site, and on their sizzle reel on YouTube.
Top composers accessible through APM include: David Arkenstone * John Barry * Tal Bergman * Brian Brasher * Sam Brown III * David Buckley * John Cacavas * Mark Cousins * Hal David * Martin Lord Ferguson * Emmanuel Fratianni * Patrick Hawes * Mars Lasar * Carmen Lundy * Dave Robidoux * Laurie Robinson * Serj Tankian to name just a few. See more featured composers or artists on www.APMmusic.com.
With over 35 diverse libraries, APM Music has the most comprehensive collection in the industry -- over 350,000 exclusive tracks on thousands of albums produced by the industry's most innovative, respected and admired libraries including KPM Music, Bruton, Sonoton, West One Music Group, and Kosinus.
Additional niche music sources include ReverbNation, NFL Films Music Library, Epic Score, Discovery Studios Tracks, and more. APM uses only the foremost orchestras, performers, and musicians to record compositions created by legendary composers and cutting-edge trendsetters just for APM. Find every
imaginable music genre from bombastic trailer cues to timeless classical music recordings and authentic world sounds to songs from current indie bands.
Unlimited Tracks Licensed for Use 'Per Event'
Until now, fees for licensing songs and compositions through APM were generally considered "out of budget" range for most wedding and event productions.
"We are excited to announce a brand new program developed exclusively for WEVA members that not only allows licensing of APM Music tracks at a substantial discount, but also allows unlimited tracks to be used on a 'per event' basis instead of a 'per song' basis. It opens the door to a whole new realm of production originality and music creativity -- unlimited!" said WEVA Chairman Roy Chapman.
"When we reached out to WEVA, they had already been looking into ideas for music licensing awareness and together we quickly came up with the idea of introducing a special program for event videographers. The goal is to encourage the idea of using music legally and simplifying the process to do so," comments Adam Taylor, President of APM Music. "It is a win-win solution to a big problem of unlicensed music in the event world."
Many WEVA members find they often want or need to use several tracks of production music to finish a single event. Licensing on a "per event" basis allows members to use an unlimited number of APM tracks in producing a single wedding for example, including as many separate tracks as desired for
coverage of the bride's house/ groom's house, pre-ceremony, photomontage, ceremony, park scenes, reception activities/ interviews, wedding highlights, honeymoon coverage, and even SFX.
All APM Music Tracks Available Now
The new program offers three price levels for WEVA members, and APM Music accepts license payments quarterly or annually. APM Music licensing grants perpetual (unlimited) usage and covers Internet, website (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.), DVD copies, and other usage structured on a "per event" basis with a 10-event minimum. The exclusive discount for WEVA members is now available in a 3-tier structure based on your number of events: 1-10 Events; 10-50 Events; and 50+ Events.
