Features of Music production

Ghost Production Unlike classical and popular music publishers, who have less than 50 percent of their copyright in a composition, production music libraries possess the copyrights of their music all. It can be accredited without the composer's permission, as is required in licensing music from publishers. Generation music is a convenient solution for media manufacturers--they may be assured that they are going to have the ability to permit any bit of music in the library at a rate that is reasonable, whereas a work might be costly. Likewise licensing a well-known bit of popular music may cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the prominence of the performer(s). Production music libraries typically offer a assortment of genres and styles, enabling producers and editors to obtain what they want in the exact same library. Music libraries vary in size by a few hundred tracks up to thousands. The first production music library has been set up by De Wolfe Music in 1927 with the arrival of sound in movie. The company originally scored music for use in quiet movie. Production music is utilized in film, tv and television as theme and/or desktop music. American TV has also used production songs, most notably with the themes for Monday Night Football ("Heavy Action" from Johnny Pearson) as well as The People's Court ("The Big One" by Alan Tew). Other noteworthy examples are the Nickelodeon animated series The Ren and Stimpy Show and SpongeBob SquarePants, which use well-known classical music excerpts and a wide range of pre-1960s production music cues--such as many bits familiar in their use in previous cartoons--that have been chosen because of their ironic and humorous effect. Production music composers and session actors work anonymously and have rarely become known beyond their circle. In the past few years some veteran composer-performers within this field such as Alan Hawkshaw, John Cameron and Keith Mansfield have attained attention and popularity as a result of a new fascination with production music of the 1960s and 1970s, especially the 'beat' and electronica cues listed for KPM along with other labels, which have been widely sampled by DJs and record producers. In the past few years a few of these musicians have contributed public performances of the classic compositions under the category name KPM Allstars.
