Music Library

 

All this music is available for use by media production companies. This is not a solutions site – this is simply a music professional putting stuff out there for you to hear. I use the pot luck/serendipity system, whereby you may spot a title or comment, which may lead you to some music that fits. Or you could just scroll down and have a listen to whatever takes your fancy. The titles alone will usually give some idea of the content. I avoid genre/style/tempo classifications, in the belief that such filtering will reduce the possibility of something perfect coming along.

All the music is copyright control MCPS/PRS, and any use will involve the standard fees.

If there’s something you like, please let me know
