Was contacted by a Connie Bradford to represent my music in a “semi-exclusive” deal. In other words I could place it myself but not with another library. I couldn’t find info about her and her company on the Internet. I e-mailed her that I was interested but wanted to know more about her company and possibly talk to some composers she has worked with. Never heard back from her. I think she contacted me once before with the same results.

Indie Cues is delighted to report that it is building an amazing catalog. In the Summer of 2009 alone, we have already secured subpublishing relationships in more than 20 foreign territories working exclusively with only the top music companies in each country. We continue to produce only the highest quality of music for film and television, and will not compromise that standard. Currently 55 CDs strong, we strive to complete our first 100 CD’s before year-end.
The semi-exclusive relationship Art refers to above is working for countless composers as we build an amazing catalog. His negative posting is unfortunate, and quite curious, since in his very first communication with Indie Cues he indicated his music was not available for use. He wrote:
“We (my wife Robin and I) have about 150 pieces of music but they have been placed with a couple of libraries. While I understand your reasoning about wanting a “semi-exclusive” agreement it just would not work for us.”
It is important for writers to find the right fit when it comes to distribution and proliferation of their music. At Indie Cues, our writers are our most important asset. We are delighted to be part of this wonderful world of music for television and film, and wish Art all the best in his endeavors.

In response to Connie’s post:
The reply she is referring to was from her first contact with us back in March of 2009. She left part of my reply to her out. It was:
“At some point we hope to find a company that we can work with exclusively as I do agree with your point about clients hearing the same cues from different sources. Before we go that route I would need to know a lot more about the company to ensure that our music was getting maximum exposure.”
I never heard back from her.
Connie contacted us a second time in August 2009. In which I replied and I told her we were interested. Here is part of my reply to her then:
“We might be interested in working with you but would need to know more about your company, what you have placed and be able to talk to a number of the composers you are working with. Unfortunately I cannot find anything about you or your company online. So, yes, we are interested but would need to know much more.”
That e-mail was sent on August 12th 2009 but I never heard back from her.

So this company has no website? That is not a good thing.

Never trust a company with no website. If they simply cannot be bothered to invest $100 a year in a website then it infers that they lack business skills in general.

I found these composers have music in the Indie Cues Music catalog:

Maybe they could shed some light on the company.

We are the composers you are referring to above and we know nothing. We signed several songs to Indie Cues around April 2009 but have not had any contact with the representative since. But then again, it usually takes 1-2 years before a new library gets the ball rolling and even a few years after that before songs start getting placements.
By the way, there are other production music libraries (DSM comes to mind) that don’t have a website, so it’s not that unusual.
