We’re excited about our discussion topic for the upcoming Flux Summit 004 on July 29th. We’ll be focusing the discussion on opportunities in music licensing and original composition for tv/film & video games.
“Making money with your music: Music licensing for TV/film & video games” will bring together industry professionals including music supervisors and producers as they talk about how to expand revenue through licensing and original composition. Learn how tracks are selected for movies, games & TV, what the best ways to get in are and much more. Highly recommended for anyone who makes music or owns a label.
The panel will be moderated by Jeff Straw, the Director of Licensing and Partnerships at digital distributor, INgrooves. Jeff handles the creative and business side of the sync licensing business for thousands of labels on the INgrooves roster and has placed music in a wide array of tv shows, commercials and video games. Some highlights include placements in Superbowl commercials, CSI:Miami and video games for the iPhone. He is also a DJ, remixer, saxophonist and runs the record label, Breakshop Studios.
The list of speakers for the discussion includes:
Brooke Wentz, an award-winning music supervisor and seasoned intellectual property rights executive with more than 20 years experience working in the television, cable, film and recording industries. Her career includes six years as the Music Director for ESPN, five years as A&R Manager at Arista Records, ten years as on-air radio host of new music on NPR and licensing work with New Media and Music Direction at TechTV. As a music supervisor, Brooke has a diverse and extensive list of credits, including work in television (ESPN, HBO, Discovery) and film (The Devil and Daniel Johnston/Sony Pictures Classics, American Hardcore/Sony Pictures Classics, Ballets Russes/Zeitgeist Films and Academy Awards®-nominated documentary The Weather Underground). Brooke is also the author of the book “Hey, That’s My Music: Music Supervision, Licensing and Content Acquisition” (published by Hal Leonard Corporation, 2007), a comprehensive guide to music licensing and copyright issues.

Their unique sound has helped them license tracks for a number of forms of media, including TV (”Top Gear”, “CSI”, “90210″), film (”Staunton Hill”, “Stealth”) and games (Sony PlayStation Home). Brian’s guitar work has also been featured on the award-winning score for Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed 2″, and also Gearbox’s surprise smash hit “Borderlands”.
