OT: Current rates for music?

[Adam Frechette]

Hello,

I recently got in touch with a CEO of a company, 4 emails later, he wanted me on his roster and to keep in touch until music production takes place which is in 4 months. Now I am wondering what should I negotiate for my price per minute?


Thanks in advance,

[midphase]

As much as you can! :D

Hey Adam!
Hey remember me from the motiforum...hehe. It was you me and Pablo. I've upgraded my samples since, check out my new compositions if you want. As far as prices go you might want to check out this thread to get a ball park range. http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30475 Nice to see you again!

Hey Evan,

Haven't seen you for awhile, nice work on those tracks. One thing though try to mix them up a bit more, use different instruments etc. Other then that you have really improved. I will also give you the most important tip you will EVER get... find your own style, never try to sound like anyone else. Trends die, but being truly original will live on. Also, I signed up at that site, username is Adam Frechette of course.

Paul,

They're doing animation / CGI for commercials at the present time. They're soon working on a full length CG movie. So I am not sure what they would want me to do, I could very well end up scoring a film. I think I would most likely be doing commercial spots though. They must be growing rather quickly they have done ads for:

Cyber~Ark (http://www.hatchlingstudios.com/portfolio/bose.cfm)
Fisher Price
Forensic Files
Hatchling Studios Demo
King Arthur Flour
Liberty Mutual
Reebok
Sierra Mist

To clear something up for me...
Does "CG movie" means "Computer Graphics Animated Movie" ???

[Adam Frechette]

Yes it does Luk.
