Laurent Dury Abbey Road Studios

NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH SMIPM

Acoustic Minimalist = music that helps develop your story…

The award-winning composer Laurent Dury from France has been contributing to Sonoton Music for many years. Our clients love his beautiful piano melodies and appreciate the soothing tunes he brings into our repertoire.
We went to Abbey Road Studios in London with him last year, to record his newest Sonoton album ‘Acoustic Minimalist’. In a short artist portrait Laurent tells us how he creates, what it means to him to record his music at Abbey Road Studios, and how he collaborates with Sonoton Music. You’ll also hear great excerpts from ‘Acoustic Minimalist’ and get exclusive insights into the legendary Studio 2 from Abbey Road. Enjoy!

 Listen to, download and license the full album on SONOfind.

Music Submissions Guidelines

If you would like to submit your music for consideration for our music catalogue please pay attention to the following:

  • Do not call or email asking if it is okay to send music, we listen to everything that comes across our desk. Sometimes this takes a while, so please allow four to six weeks before querying if your music has been received and reviewed.
  • Our core focus is high-quality production music. If you care enough about your music that you want other people to pay attention to it, you need to make sure it stands out. We love new and exciting music. For your music to stand a better chance to get noticed, make sure you send us finished tracks NOT demos, unless they are brain-meltingly good.
  • You must own and control 100% of the copyright in both the composition and master recording. Sound-alikes and samples are not permitted.
  • We do not accept any music on a non-­exclusive basis. We act as the exclusive music publisher for the compositions in our library, promoting and representing them to our clients worldwide through a network of sub publishers.
  • Make sure you are not under an exclusive agreement with another publisher.
  • Please do NOT email mp3s as they will be deleted.
  • Please submit a streaming link ONLY for 5-8 songs using our contact form and any other info that you think is pertinent.

And last but not least: here is something to remember: the music library business is a long term journey. Chances are you will not become an overnight millionaire! Music libraries are all about growing a steady stream of long term income. Compare it to rolling a snowball, but a snowball that sometimes rolls quickly, sometimes slowly. Quick or slow, it still grows.

We know it is not a great sales pitch but it is the reality of the business. And it says something about the Stock Music philosophy: we don’t over-sell or make huge promises to you. We just work hard, do our utmost best and with that attitude we hope you will stay and grow with us.
