SceneScape FAQ     What is SceneScape? SceneScape is a production-music library for use in all media. It consists of three ready-for-broadcast, audio CDs which contain 143 minutes of music spread across 147 tracks. The musical style of SceneScape is best described as "expressive music textures, drones, and ambient underscores."   What is a production-music library? Production music is pre-recorded, ready-for-broadcast, instrumental background music. A production-music library contains many different musical themes (which may be in various styles) and provides one-stop shopping for anyone looking for music. Buying a production-music library is much more cost-effective than hiring a composer to create custom work. Production music can be heard in television, film, film trailers, TV/radio promos, videos, DVDs, commercials, infomercials, corporate media presentations, trade-show presentations, websites, CD-ROMs, shopping malls, and just about anywhere else that music is used.   What do "buyout" and "royalty-free" mean? For SceneScape, "buyout" means that a one-time, flat fee buys unlimited usage of the music in SceneScape according to the terms in the SceneScape End-User Agreement. "Buyout" is sometimes referred to as "royalty-free." No additional fees are ever due with one exception: When more than 10,000 copies of any one production are produced for sale, an additional license must be obtained.   What is the SceneScape End-User Agreement? The SceneScape End-User Agreement spells out in detail the rights acquired by and the obligations of the purchaser. You can read a summary of or download the agreement here.   How much does the SceneScape library cost? The entire three-CD collection can be purchased online for $299.00 (plus tax where applicable).
