Hey That's My Music!: Music Supervision, Licensing and Content Acquisition by Brooke Wentz is a highly detailed book about music licensing. This is a must-read for anybody who needs to license music for a film or TV project or if you're a composer looking to license your original music. Wentz doesn't hold back her opinions on the subject of prices, how to deal with copyright and master holders and how long the whole process should take.
Hey That's My Music! covers all the basics starting with definitions of the terms--a requisite understanding crucial to the process of music clearance. I found her interviews with many professionals in the business of licensing to provide insight into the way it all actually works.
It was enlightening and sometimes funny to be like "a fly on the wall" and read several transcripts of actual conversations that involved the negotiation of complex rights and stipulations.
Wentz addresses the business of music acquisition: how to get your music to the people who clear music for placement in films or TV shows by negotiating deals with music supervisors and/or directors.
With lots of examples of real-world contracts and forms, additional information about compilation CDs, video games and other often requested rights, Hey That's My Music!: Music Supervision, Licensing and Content Acquisition by Brooke Wentz is a great reference book and part of the Music Pro Guide Series from Hal Leonard. It sells for $24.95. Hal Leonard publications are available through Music Dispatch at www.musicdispatch.com or at: 800-637-2852.
