    Placement in major tv-series
    posted by Petur Olafsson on Sunday May 04 2008 @ 04:13PM PDT
    Marketing Ideas Crucial Music, an online service that connects independent artists and labels with music supervisors who place music in film television and advertising, is establishing itself as a leader in the marketplace, with feature placements of international artists in highly rated television shows and feature films.

    CD Baby artists The Elliots from Sweden have been receiving much attention from Crucial’s music supervisor clients. Since their signing, Crucial Music has placed their songs in ABC Family’s Kyle XY, CBS’ Close To Home, and CBS’ Moonlight (multiple episodes).

    Petur Olafsson, member of The Elliots says “We are impressed with the professional approach and the support that Crucial Music gives us. Their placement of our songs in major TV-series like Moonlight and Kyle XY has brought worldwide attention to our music. It has helped us to sell our songs and provided us with solid financial support that allows us to keep on recording new songs. Being a small and fairly unnoticed Swedish band before, this co-operation has given us new opportunities to reach out, both locally and internationally."

    President and CEO, Tanvi Patel says “Artists from all over the world are getting the attention of the most influential music supervisors in Hollywood through our service. For those international artists we’ve secured placements for, their music is being heard all over the world, as the shows and films are distributed internationally. The world is a definitely a smaller place, and every artist has a chance to make it, no matter if they live in Israel, Australia or in our own backyard."

    Crucial Music encourages artists and labels representing all genres to submit music, which can be done very easily through the website. Once a song(s), is accepted, a non-exclusive representation agreement is executed and the music is added to the online database and made available on portable hard drives. When a particular track is selected for placement, Crucial Music negotiates a rate for the license, including the master use and synch fees, of which 50 percent goes to the label or artist. Access to the Crucial Music service to both artists submitting music and those seeking music for placement is entirely free of charge.

    Great. Have just gone to your site and signed up as Voices of Eden music is VERY distinct, NOT the usual background or standard public domain sounding music, nor standard pop or singer songwriter.

    It is definately appropriate music for mood, era, region of the middle east, spiritual and meditation oriented feel and distinct healing positive feeling.

    The music has also been medically proven three times to lower blood pressure, heart rate, increase focus and quality of sleep.

    I am wondering how to locate my PRO number though?

    All the best,

    Funny you should write from Israel, because that is where I live. The musicians of the Voices of Eden project are Jewish, Christian, Moslem, Israeli and Palestinian - a LIVING example of PEACE in the Middle East.
