commissions
my base rate for composing original music1 is $50 usd per 30 seconds, with an optional $25 usd for non-attribution licensing. this may be subject to change based on the complexity of the request, so please get in touch with me if you would like an estimated quote.
please be prepared to provide a detailed description of your circumstances and what is needed - the pricing and final product will be more accurate the more specific you are.
commission work begins once an agreement has been reached and after a 50% upfront payment of the agreed price of the work. the remaining 50% of the originally agreed price + any additional expenses accrued (licensing, major revisions, etc) are to be paid upon completion.
extensive, larger-scale works such as soundtracks can have different rates and licensing agreements. please contact me to discuss details on your project.
