CueSongs and Audiosocket announce partnership
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 23 May 2013
The Peter Gabriel-backed “one-stop music licensing hub” CueSongs, which aims to make it easier for grassroots filmmakers and content creators to licence music, has announced a new alliance with Audiosocket, which also provides music for film and video makers. Via the new deal music represented by CueSongs will become available to Audiosocket users.
Commenting on the new deal, Gabriel told CMU: “Making video is no longer exclusive to a small professional elite, it is now open to all of us. Many of us want to add music to our videos, but have no idea how we might get the right permissions. Whether we be amateurs, semi-professionals, small businesses or schools etc there are millions of potential users, who currently have nowhere to go to license their music”.
He added: “CueSongs painlessly connects music licensing to the new world of social media, YouTube, and the web. In the same way that low cost airlines encouraged millions of people to make trips that they would never have considered in the old traditional model, we believe CueSongs can create a whole new flexible and responsive market for music licenses”.
From the Audiosocket side, the firm’s COO Jenn Miller said: “Audiosocket provides highly curated, culturally-relevant music for client projects, and is focused on making the customer experience of sourcing, licensing, and using music as seamless as possible. Delivering great music to our customers while making sure our artists have a platform for distribution that ensures they are properly compensated for their work has always been top priority. We are thrilled to add well known artists to our collection via CueSongs, and are very excited to introduce our current and future customers to this new partnership”.
