In the modern music landscape, music licensing has become one of the greatest opportunities for making a living as a blue collar, working musician. However, when it comes to crafting music with picture and licensing in mind, it can often times be a challenging, elusive process.
On Thursday, November 6th at 6:30PM, Marmoset is hosting a panel discussion of talented industry insiders in an open conversation to shed light on creating, editing and producing music for picture and music licensing. Through transparent dialogue, our aim is to dispel any mystery, challenges and confusion within the craft and nuances of do-it-yourself music production.
The event is part of Marmoset’s ongoing focus on the artists we partner with and engaging them, along with the greater blue collar music community, in education, support and conversation.
This conversation is taking place at Marmoset HQ – 2105 SE 7th Avenue, Portland, OR 97214
This event is now fully booked and we’re no longer accepting RSVPs. Sign up for our email list to learn more about our upcoming panels.
Let’s meet the speakers…
