Hi everyone,
I'm half of a songwriting team who (until now) has mostly targeted country music artists. We also write a lot of music that would be considered more singer/songwriter/Americana, and not really suitable for Nashville, so we've decided to explore the possibility of custom-writing songs for indie films. We're not really interested in scoring entire films-- more about writing songs to fit particular scenes or full soundtracks. My co-writer is a world-class lyricist, and we have the ability to provide you with finished, licensed masters. Our songs are professionally recorded (not in a home studio, unless that's what you want) and we have access to a number of singers in various styles.
Up-front sync fees are not really something that would be that important to us at this point. To start we're just trying to gain experience and exposure for ourselves.
We're aware of companies who specialize in placement of music for films, and we do work with one such company, but they are more into placing existing songs into films. Our desire is to establish relationships and work directly with indie filmmakers to custom-write music specifically for their films.
Because we'd be spending a lot of our own time and money to produce and professionally record songs for you, we'll need to be a little selective about which projects we work on, but I'd encourage anyone looking for songs for their film to contact me. It's safe to say we're not the guys for rap/hip-hop/urban or heavy metal music, but we can do just about anything in country/folk/Americana or singer/songwriter genres (male or female singers) and can write and record quality songs under a flexible sync license so that we get paid only if your film is a commercial success.
You can hear our music at www.roadsidesongs.com. Most of the songs on our site are Nashville-demos, so don't be put off if they're too country for you. We can get a lot more gritty too.
Thanks,
Cameron Earnshaw
