Music for film and TV

Music licensing for film and TV, one-stop

Sonomore offers music licensing for film and TV: vocal indie and alt-pop songs, and instrumental music for scenes, series, promos and streaming. Master and publishing are controlled in-house, so music supervisors and editors can clear a track with one agreement and one contact.

TV and streaming

Indie songs for TV shows and streaming series

A song can do things score can’t: a lyric that lands on a look, a chorus that lifts a montage, a quiet verse under the walk home. Our catalog of vocal indie and alt-pop songs is made for those moments, from intimate scenes to openers and end credits.

For music for streaming series, the practical questions matter as much as the creative ones. Is the track cleared for the platforms and territories you need? Can you get an instrumental for the scene where the dialogue runs long? Can the paperwork keep pace with the edit? With one-stop rights, the answer to the first is one conversation, and the rest are covered below.

Film and promos

Songs for film, and music for TV promos

Songs for film. For features, shorts and documentaries, we license to match the release: festival, broadcast, streaming or theatrical. Tell us how the film will be seen and for how long, and we’ll scope the license to that. If the release grows, ask us about extending it.

Music for TV promos and trailers. Promos need energy and clear edit points. Stems and cutdowns help fit a track to :15, :30 or :60, and one-stop clearance keeps fast promo turnarounds realistic.

Score and underscore. When a scene needs texture rather than a lyric, ask for instrumentals from the catalog, or have us write custom music to picture.

One-stop

Why music supervisors like one-stop

Clearing a song usually means two negotiations: one for the master recording and one for the publishing, which may be split between several writers and publishers. If one party says no or goes quiet, the song comes out of the cut.

A one-stop track removes that risk. We control both sides, so a single yes clears the song, and the same contact can answer questions on versions, cue sheets and paperwork.

FAQ

Film and TV licensing: questions

What music supervisors, editors and producers ask before clearing a song.

Read the music licensing FAQ

Do you have songs for TV shows and streaming series?

Yes. Our vocal indie and alt-pop songs are one-stop, so they can be cleared quickly for scenes, montages, openers and end credits. Instrumentals are available on request for moments where a lyric would compete with dialogue.

Can you license music for TV promos and trailers?

Yes. Promos and trailers are licensed like any other sync use: tell us the media, term and territory and we'll quote. Stems and cutdowns help fit the track to the edit.

Do you license for festival films and documentaries?

Yes. Tell us how the film will be released, for example festival, broadcast or streaming, and the term you need. We'll quote for that scope. If the release grows, ask us about extending the license.

Can you provide cue sheet information?

Yes. Our writer is PRO-registered, so we can supply the writer, publisher and PRO details your production needs for its cue sheet.
