Film Expo South – Making money from music

This September I’m speaking again at Film Expo South organised by Gillian Tully. It really is a great opportunity to connect with composers, musicians and filmmakers alike and make those all important connections. The event will be taking place in Southampton at The Stage Door, 78 West Marlands Road on Saturday 29th September 2018 and

Film Expo South 2017

For the second year running I was invited to be a guest speaker on the subject of music copyright and the licensing of music for film, TV, live and content media. Film Expo South 2017 took place at the Aegeas Bowl Southampton but fortunately not on the cricket pitch! Seriously though, the conference venue itself

Testimonials

Ivan and his team are always my first port of call if I have any questions or issues concerning music rights clearances. He invariably unravels and achieves a beneficial solution for rights owners and their licensees to their mutual advantage.

Irving David, DWFM Beckman Solicitors

Thanks to you Ivan and your team at Musicalities for unravelling a music copyright mystery. You’re a star!

When it comes to music rights, Ivan Chandler is a maestro. His depth of knowledge of musical history, copyright, clearances, contracts and contacts are second to none.

It was such a relief to be able to rely on Musicalities’ Ivan Chandler for advice when clearing the underlying rights of songs performed by Jane Horrocks in “If You Kiss Me, Kiss Me”. Ivan knows everybody and was able to sort everything out for us in double quick time. Thanks again Ivan.

Stacy CoyneDirector of Marketing and PressYoung Vic

Working with Musicalities to clear some complicated rights for a large-scale project has been an invaluable help. Ivan’s clear and consistent communication throughout has put us at ease whilst keeping us informed. We could never have achieved the clearance needed in time without Musicalities advice and support and wouldn’t hesitate approaching Ivan again in the future.

Sarah RobertsCreative Learning ManagerWales Millennium Centre

Film Expo South (2016) had the pleasure of having Ivan Chandler, Founder & CEO of Musicalities Ltd. address the attendees at our inaugural event. Ivan is an engaging speaker, very genuine, connects with his audience and we were very lucky to have him support our first event. We received great feedback from attendees, “lively, energizing, gave clear tips” and we have no hesitation recommending Ivan.

I have worked with Ivan and Musicalities for many years and they have never failed to deliver on any publishing task and have also created many fantastic opportunities for me as well.

KipperGrammy Award Winning Producer and Writer

After years of working within the comfort of the blanket music license agreement, I suddenly found myself needing to clear 29 songs in my “Kraftwerk – Pop Art” documentary for worldwide use. The advice and guidance that Ivan and Musicalities provided was completely invaluable, an absolute lifesaver. I would unreservedly recommend them for any music copyright issues.

Simon WitterWriter/Director

Musicalities is a fantastic company. Always willing to give positive and practical advice to the most straight forward or diverse question. They sorted out PPL and PRS claims for several of our clients – something other companies failed to explain or carry out. Always a pleasure to liaise with and chock full of industry knowledge, I can’t recommend Musicalities highly enough. AMEN x

Stephen "Smiley" BarnardPresident of Sunshine Corner Studios

I am the AV Producer at Amnesty International UK. We engaged the services of Musicalities whilst working on an important audio visual asset for our organisation. They were efficient, cordial, extremely reasonable and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. I would sincerely recommend their services for any music copyright consultancy.

Emma ShoreAV ProducerAmnesty International

In these complicated days of social media, where experienced eyes are needed to maintain both protection and promotion of my copyrights, Musicalities have been a godsend. Not only have I benefited from a successful sample of a 1977 song but have also secured a 1987 song in Grand Theft Auto V. This is just two examples of older copyrights gathering royalties instead of nostalgic dust. Thank you Ivan and the team for helping an old rocker maintain his dream of a guitar shaped pool – even if it is for the gold fish.

Steve ElsonManagerThe Counterfeit Stones

We like working with Musicalities. They have a deep knowledge of the industry and whatever music licensing problems we have, they help us to resolve them quickly and efficiently, often with “out of the box” thinking.

Carl GriffinManaging DirectorNutopia Limited

I have been delighted to work with Ivan and the Musicalities team on a range of film and television projects over some twenty years. Ivan has helped us on feature films with budgets in the millions and short dance films, with budgets barely in the thousands. He is expert, efficient, delightful to work with. Never fazed but always realistic. Over the years I have given his name to a number of other producers – and they are all still working with him too. That, to me, is the mark of a good and long-lasting business relationship.

What would I do without you?!

Giles LambDirector & Composer

I would never have any qualms about recommending you as I absolutely know you can deliver.
