Outsourcing the Soundtrack

Molly Nyman and Harry Escott, soundtrack producers for the movie “Shifty,” have partnered with Indaba Music to allow musicians around the world to submit ideas for a remix of one of the soundtrack songs. This is a brilliant idea on the part of Molly & Harry. And think of the further implications for this idea…

You are part of a major project that needs a song. Instead of paying thousands of dollars to buy the rights to a song, set up a contest. Musicians enjoy having the chance to have their song used for a project, especially if it will be on tv or radio. You bring people to you instead of searching.

As a musician, these are great opportunities to get your music heard. And musicians need to continue searching for new revenue streams and ways to get their music heard. Artists should be looking for opportunities like these to get their music in front of a larger audience.

Stay tuned,
