Way back when I was an Art Director at Digitas and later Creative Director at FCB (now DRAFT/FCB), I was always looking for great music for my work. I was shocked to find few online resources for quality production music.  Being a trained composer/producer, I started creating music for myself, then my teams and soon agency-wide. An idea formed and since 2004, we’ve been serving the world great visual music that’s royalty free! How we choose our royalty free music Our music is all handpicked for quality in composition, structure and production so you can get on with your work.   This will save you time instead of weeding out dozensof terrible tracks, you’ll browse stuff that already feels pretty close. And, most important, it needs to conjure a picture or feeling in your mind. Our production music is pure emotion that heightens and amplifies your work. Our music is designed to captivate and build to climax without overpowering your work. It delivers an emotional subtext to your work. Stock Music? I’ve never quite liked the term stock music as it gives off the feeling of subpar or something is not quite as good.

It is meant for creative professionals.
