Friends
You might imagine that after music supervising dozens upon dozens of films, series, and commercials, we would have some solid go-tos in our network for getting things done. And you would be right. At Clearly Music, we have circled the wagons on our favorite collaborators to offer some valuable, streamlined services to our clients.
Clearly Music has an established relationship with the newly renovated Squeak E. Clean Studios Hollywood.
Formerly the iconic Crystal Industries Recording, a string of luminaries from the 1960s through the mid-2000s have recorded some of their biggest hits in this legendary space. Carol King, War, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, and of course… Smash Mouth.
Post audio and scoring facility
Now also a state-of-the-art AVID-sponsored post audio facility, preferred access to SQLA’s scoring and dub stages is a tremendous resource for Clearly Music clients.
The dubstage is equipped with a Neumann 9.1 Dolby Atmos surround system accommodating up to 50 guests for playback. The live room can fit 40 or more orchestral players for scoring, or just pre-records and ADR that need a little extra room to breathe.
All studio spaces in the complex are networked with video feeds and DANTE via AVID MTRX for ultimate flexibility.
Vinyl soundtracks
Founded in 1980 by musician and letterpress artist Bruce Licher, Independent Project Records (IPR) and its sister entity Independent Project Press are known for their instantly recognizable hand-printed vinyl record packages for bands including Savage Republic, Scenic, Camper Van Beethoven, R.E.M., For Against, Stereolab, and more.
IPR is a great option for independent film productions that want a high-quality, unmistakably unique vinyl product to accompany their film for commercial release or even just for promotional materials.
IPR is distributed in the U.S. by Megaforce Records and Proper Distribution in Europe.
production music
Our *sister company Slipstream Music (a joint venture with Kobalt Music) is the largest independent production music library in the world, with over 650,000 unique music tracks and 300,000 SFX on tap.
SSM offers a diverse catalog beyond typical production music, including Insomniac Records and all of Cavendish UK's contemporary and vintage catalogs, making it a treasure trove of pre-cleared needle drops at preferred rates in any genre.
Robust custom music production resources can also be leveraged for on-camera re-records/covers and originals.
*Clearly Music is an independent and impartial agent. Our mandate is to procure music for our clients from anywhere that best suits their creative needs. We are not beholden to Slipstream in any way, nor do we profit from them.
