How much does Commissioned Music Cost?

The temptation to say "how long is a piece of string" is almost overwhelming! But, we can give some indications.

If we take a 50 minute documentary, we would normally write around 35-40 minutes of music. Assuming we produce all that music in-house and don't use outside facilities or musicians, that would cost around £3000.

Please note, that all the music on the showreel was produced in-house, though the couple of vocals were recorded elsewhere.

Our prices include the use of the music for all broadcasts. However, we retain the rights to the Performing Rights, and would ask you to ensure that appropriate cue sheets are supplied with every copy of the production. We can supply these for you.

Music for other TV productions, such as game shows and drama, would be priced on a more project-to-project basis, as what is required varies significantly.

However, whatever you require music for, don't panic about the cost until you have spoken to us. We try to be as flexible as possible in all our workings, and that includes the price too!
