MUSIC LICENSING

Music for
What Moves the World.

Hathor Entertainment licenses two kinds of music for film, television, advertising, trailers and digital media. Pre-made music from our catalog, and custom music written for your project.

FEATURES

Two kinds of music. Both licensed.

Some projects need a song that already exists. Some need one that does not exist yet. We license both, through the same process and the same cleared rights.

PRE-MADE MUSIC

Already written and cleared.

Finished songs and instrumentals from our catalog, cleared in one conversation.

CUSTOM MUSIC

Written for your project.

Original music written to your brief, with the same documentation and clearance.

BENEFITS

What you get out of licensing here.

The music is the easy part to judge. These are the three things that decide whether it can actually be used.

CONFIDENCE

Pitch it without hedging.

Everything you hear can be cleared, so you are never selling a track you might lose.

RELIEF

Stop waiting on legal.

The paperwork exists before you ask, so the answer comes back inside your window.

PRIDE

Bring something nobody else has.

When nothing in the catalog fits, the music gets written for your project alone.

WHO WE SERVE

Briefs arrive from three places.

Different briefs, different deadlines, the same requirement underneath: music that can be used without a rights question stopping it.

SUPERVISION

Music Supervisors

Original music and creative partners who understand briefs, timelines and rights.

ADVERTISING

Agencies and Brands

Music and collaboration for campaigns, branded storytelling and audience connection.

PRODUCTION

Production Companies

Scripted, unscripted, trailers and promos, where the music has to clear inside the delivery date.

TRUST

Why supervisors come back.

Original music and recordings for film, television, advertising, trailers and digital media, whether it already exists or has to be written for you.

FAQS

Frequently
asked

What is the difference between pre-made and custom?

Pre-made music already exists in our catalog and you hear it before you commit. Custom music is written to your brief when nothing existing is right. Both are licensed the same way.

Can you clear sound recording and publishing together?

Where we control both, yes, and that is the point of asking us first. Where we do not, we tell you before you build a cut around it.

Can we use it in a pitch before signing?

Not without a license. Tell us it is for a pitch and we will license it for that, so the use is covered rather than assumed.

How is a fee worked out?

By the use: where it runs, for how long, in what territory and how prominently. You get the number before you commit, not after.
