The mission of Score Revolution is to connect film music rights holders with licensing customers worldwide. By employing the most sophisticated web technology together with an expert sales and support staff, Score Revolution has dedicated itself to being the leader in the expanding global market for independent film music.
Score Revolution will enhance the value of film music by presenting it in a dedicated, expertly curated catalog. We'll present this music to licensing customers in a way that makes it fun to explore, simple to find, and easy to license.
We provide independent film music owners the opportunity to monetize their music assets while keeping ownership rights, with online tools to monitor licensing activity, and transparency in all of our transactions.
As long time members of the film music community, the founders of Score Revolution are also dedicated to promoting greater awareness of this vibrant art form, and will sponsor and promote forums and events that serve to further that purpose.
Very simply, we are an experienced team of film music and music licensing professionals who have curated an unparalleled catalog of film music that is easy to search and license through this website. Score Revolution provides you with immediate access to film music from around the world. New scores are added to our platform each week from independent film producers, production companies and leading composers.
Because film music is consistently the most unique, diverse, ingeniously composed, and expertly produced instrumental music available! It has been composed and produced by outstanding artists at the top of their profession with production budgets that are generally higher than other instrumental music available for license.
The site is intended for the use of media professionals only and you must register with us. Please complete all the information on the registration page and we will provide you with an account link once your details have been verified. If you have any immediate licensing needs, our sales team can be contacted at [email protected] and +1.323.790.0524.
The site allows you search our catalog in three different ways - by Keywords, by Filter Tools, or by using our Explore search button. Our Keyword Search allows you to type descriptive words which are found in the track’s metadata and linked to our Filter Tools. These Tools allow you to initiate a search by selecting from music genre, film genre, instrumentation, ensemble, tempo, and vibe. We also have a dedicated Filter Tool for the trailer production business. The more selections you make, the more refined your search will be. If you find a piece that feels right, but would like some other ideas based on the acoustic qualities of your selection, you can use the Explore search feature.
It’s new! The Explore button allows you to search the pure acoustic qualities of the music without any reference to keyword descriptions. It’s especially helpful when you are open to using music that could be from a few different genres. Are you searching for trip-hop but open to an Indian raga that shares many of the same acoustic qualities? The Explore button is designed to help you quickly find outside the box search results. Please watch “How to Search” for more details.
Registered users can search, download, and share music to test it in a production context. Once it is intended for any commercial use or public performance (including any broadcast, theatrical, or other use in which it is synchronized to any visual media) you will need to obtain a license from us. Music downloaded from the site is for use by registered users only and is not intended for non-professional or personal use.
Our license fees are quoted on a case-by-case basis. There is no rate card but we’re competitive in the marketplace. The fee is based on the use of the music including media, context, duration, territory and term.
In most cases we have the right to license 100% of the master and sync rights to the music. In cases where we don’t, we’ll notify you and contact the other rights holder to arrange a quote and initiate a license.
We are not currently making blanket licensing arrangements. However, if you need a blanket license, please contact us and we may be able to accommodate your individual needs with selected tracks from our catalog.
Our sales team is ready to answer questions, help you find music, and assist in the licensing process. You can contact them by phone at +1.323.790.0524. or by email at [email protected].
