Here at Quarter of Six, we feel a certain kindred spirit with our cinematic cousins. We like watching movies, and we like helping to bring them to life! We offer a few basic services:
- Scoring and background music, including orchestral, electronic, rock, ethnic, and other genres.
- Foreground songs; songs like what a band would play that are used during a movie
- Foley and sound effect work
We have a library of material that is available to be licensed, and we also do custom work as required. We have several different packages available to accomodate your budget, mostly revolving around the number of live musicians required. If you need us to prepare scores, conduct, and record a large number of classical musicians, then you will need our Ultra package. Note that the price quoted is for our services; the cost for the musicians and studio time will be extra, as the needs between projects are to variable for us to quote a flat price. If you need us to take our House Band into a our sister recording studio and record, you will need our Premium package. Our Budget package covers work entirely done in our production and composers studios. See below for the details on each package.
