The right track depends on the creative idea, tone, pacing, edit, audience, and media of the project. Asche & Spencer makes it easy to search our Music Collection by genre, mood, keywords, and creative descriptions, and our team can also help identify music that fits a specific brief, reference track, storyboard, or rough cut. Contact Kari Sharff ksharff@ascheandspencer.com
Yes. Asche & Spencer can help creative teams, producers, editors, music supervisors, and agencies find music that fits a specific creative brief at no cost. You can search our collection yourself or work directly with our team to identify and refine music options for your project. Contact Kari Sharff ksharff@ascheandspencer.com
Yes. Asche & Spencer's search technology allows you to type what you are looking for using natural language, describing a scene, creative concepts, moods, musical characteristics, or other cultural references. You can also include instruments or feelings you want to avoid. This can help you move from a creative idea to relevant music faster than searching only by traditional genre or keyword categories.
Yes. Asche & Spencer's 'video sync' feature allows you to explore music while viewing your video, making it easier to hear how different tracks work against the picture, pacing, and edit. This helps creative teams evaluate music in the context of the actual project rather than listening to tracks in isolation. Preview music-to-picture in real time.
To license music, you will need to provide the details of the intended use, such as media, territory, term, and other campaign requirements. Our team can help guide you through the process and make sure the music is properly licensed for your project. Reach out to Kari Sharff ksharff@ascheandspencer.com
Sync licensing is the process of obtaining permission to synchronize music with visual media such as a commercial, film, television program, video, or branded content. A sync license defines how and where the music can be used and for how long.
Music licensing fees vary depending on how the music will be used. Factors can include the type of media, territory, term, campaign scope (end client size), and other usage requirements. Asche & Spencer does not rely on a one-size-fits-all rate card; we provide licensing terms based on the specific project and intended use. Contact Kari Sharff ksharff@ascheandspencer.com
Yes. Asche & Spencer licenses music for a variety of advertising and visual media uses, including television, streaming, digital advertising, social media, branded content, and other platforms. The appropriate license depends on the specific media and campaign requirements.
Yes. Music can be licensed for worldwide use when the project requires it. Territory is one of the factors considered when determining licensing terms, so clients should provide the intended geographic scope of the campaign when requesting a license.
Asche & Spencer is built to work at the pace of production. Once a track and project requirements have been identified, our team can help move the licensing process forward quickly. For time-sensitive projects, contacting us early with the campaign details can help ensure the process stays on schedule.
The Asche & Spencer Music Collection is a curated collection of exclusive award-winning music created specifically for professional use in advertising and visual media. The collection spans a broad range of genres, moods, styles, and production approaches and is created by world-class composers, producers, musicians, and engineers.
The collection is created by on-staff and trusted freelance composers, musicians, producers, engineers, and various talent working closely with Asche & Spencer. Our focus is authentic "human made" music, with an emphasis on real (live recorded) instrumentation.
Asche & Spencer is more than a music library. We are a music company built specifically around the needs of creative production. Our exclusive Music Collection is created by world-class professional composers, musicians, producers, and engineers, with an emphasis on authentic performances, real instrumentation, and music with character and emotional depth. Our team works directly with clients to find the right music, customize existing tracks, or create something entirely original. We combine the speed and breadth of a music library with the creative expertise, production experience, and personal attention of a true (full service) music partner.
Yes. Asche & Spencer owns and controls the Music Collection, giving clients a direct relationship with the company that represents the music. This provides a different experience from large, anonymous music marketplaces where the same track may appear across numerous competing libraries with multiple rights holders, making licensing more complicated and time consuming.
Yes. In addition to our catalogue, Asche & Spencer creates original music for commercials, advertising campaigns, branded content, film, television, and other visual media. Our composers and production team can develop music from a creative brief, storyboard, reference track, rough cut, or other creative direction. We can create custom music for a fully exclusive license, or work-for-hire.
Licensing existing music allows a creative team to select a finished track from the Asche & Spencer Music Collection and license it for a specific project. Original composition means creating a new piece of music specifically for the project. Asche & Spencer offers both approaches, as well as a third option: customizing an existing track to better fit the creative.
Yes. Asche & Spencer can customize existing music to better fit a specific commercial or edit. Depending on the project, customization can include changes to structure, instrumentation, arrangement, length, pacing, or other musical elements.
Custom music can be the right choice when a project needs a highly specific musical identity, precise timing, a particular arrangement, or music built around the structure of the edit. Custom music allows ultimate flexibility for use, and complete creative control. Licensing an existing track can be more efficient when the right piece already exists. Asche & Spencer can help determine which approach makes the most sense for the creative and production requirements.
Music stems are separate audio files containing individual elements or groups of elements within a finished piece of music, such as drums, bass, instruments, vocals, or other components. Stems give editors and producers greater flexibility to adjust the music during post-production and can be particularly useful when music needs to work around dialogue, sound design, voiceover, or picture changes. Stems are available upon request.
Yes. Depending on the project and track, Asche & Spencer can provide or create alternate versions, edits, cutdowns, instrumentals, stems, or other adaptations needed to support different versions of an advertising campaign. Many nested alternate versions already exist in the catalog as well.
No. Asche & Spencer does not engage in using AI to generate musical works. Asche & Spencer's Music Collection is built around music created by professional composers, musicians, producers, and engineers. We believe human creativity, musical experience, and collaboration remain essential to creating music with character and emotional impact. With the goal to find clients the best music for the project quicker, we do use vetted AI technology to make the process of discovering and searching for music faster and more intuitive. Our goal is to combine human-made music with modern technology that helps creative teams find the right music more efficiently.
