Universal Music Publishing’s production music division has launched a new joint venture with TV and film composer Harry Gregson-Williams, which sees the creation of a new production music label to be known as Scored By: Harry Gregson-Williams.
The label will make available music composed by Gregson-Williams and his team for use in film and TV, without the expense of having to hire the composer to create something bespoke. At launch, it is offering collections of music on various themes, including ‘pursuit’, ‘apprehension’ and ‘impulse’.
"I'm extremely happy to be partnering with Universal Production Music on the creation of this new music label”, says Gregson-Williams. “Making my music available in this way - beyond the boundaries of the specific film and television score commissions I'm doing - seems like a wonderful opportunity and a natural extension to my work”.
Geoff Cox, UK Head Of Production at Universal Production Music, adds: “Harry is one of Hollywood’s most renowned film composers whose music has soundtracked some of the most iconic movies of the last 20 years. To have access to that experience and build a label together that showcases Harry’s talents and delivers us exceptional music for our clients is a huge coup for us and highlights our strategy of working with the absolute best in the business”.
The first five album releases on Scored By: Harry Gregson-Williams are available to license now.
