The right music, cleared and delivered

Music Supervision & Sync Production

Music supervision and sync-focused production: custom tracks for briefs, sync-ready compositions, re-records, and practical guidance on clearance and delivery.

When a project needs music that fits the picture and clears for use, supervision and custom production solve both problems. We work with directors, producers, agencies, and artists to define the sonic brief, compose and produce original tracks, or shape existing material into something that works for the scene and the licence.

Custom sync production means writing with the edit in mind: length, tone, builds, and alternate versions. We deliver stems, instrumentals, and clean edits that picture editors can work with, plus metadata and files formatted for delivery.

We also advise on one-stop ownership where possible, so sync clearance is simpler. For artists building a sync catalogue, we can produce tracks designed for licensing from the start.
