If you’ve ever had to sort out the music for a video production or similar, unless you’ve been very lucky indeed you’ll know that it can be a nightmare of uncertain fees, rights issues, territorial disputes and much more. So you might be pleased to hear about Epidemic Sound, a Stockholm-based music company that’s aiming to disrupt the music licensing industry and help content creators - from web developers, to startups, to marketers to TV and film producers - access a new model of music licensing.
Epidemic keeps things simple: it charges you a flat fee to use a piece of music on any platform, in any country, forever. And you don’t just get the track on its own; you also get its stems - the separate unmixed musical tracks that make up the song - as well so that you can rearrange it to suit your needs. Also, if you’re a composer it’s similarly straightforward: if Epidemic likes your tune it'll buy it outright. Easy!
