A reader was recently contacted by them. No website, must be a new company. I did see an ad they ran looking to hire. Seem to be looking for material also.

  1. I had a lot of back and forth contact with them trying to negotiate, and I decided to walk away because they wouldn’t change the “in perpetuity” part of the nonexclusive contract.

    First, we had been talking about an exclusive contract, which was their first choice, but they weren’t happy with the amount of other libraries my music was in and how some of the contracts couldn’t be terminated immediately (although they could be terminated). Even if I was willing to go through the hours and hours of work to terminate other nonexclusive contracts for specific songs, I felt like I should be compensated something for their exclusive ownership of my songs because I would have had to go through a whole lot to make them free and clear, just for them. Or if I wasn’t compensated, they at least could have put a termination option in the nonexclusive contract option.

    I thought this company was asking a whole lot, and not offering me anything, really, in return.

    I am willing to have faith in a start up company, but I felt like they might as well have asked for my firstborn child, too.

    Maybe Multiverse will be hugely successful next year and I’ll regret this, but for the time, effort and expense we put into our music, not to mention our years of building these skills, I think we have a right to negotiate professional, reasonable terms.

    • @Angie-
      I was just looking over a contract from another library for perpituity language. I found this:
      “Licensor (me) agrees not to assign same title as used by Licensee to create Licensed work during or after the agreement in perpituity”

      With regard to the perpituity language in the Multiverse contract did you understand it to mean similar to what I just described? Or did you understand it to say that you could never get the composition removed from their catalogue?

  2. I found Multiverse through an FMN listing asking for orchestral type material. They contacted me and then invited me to send in as much as I wanted for consideration. I sent 5 songs to see what kind of response I would get and got an email from them today saying they would like to include all 5.

    I opted for the non exclusive agreement because I didn’t want to tie up songs with a new library because I don’t know how good they will be getting placements.

    • For what it’s worth I- last I heard the non-exclusive agreement is “in perpetuity” and there is no clause allowing you to request removal of a track from their library. Perhaps something to consider…

  3. I’m about to sign two songs with them on an exclusive basis. Also waiting to hear what they want out of my non-exclusive catalogue.

    • @Rob- I was curious as to why you signed 2 exclusively. You must be fairly confident in their ability to get placements ?

      • Ben,

        I’m not confident. It’s a risk. Technically, I haven’t signed the agreement yet so I could still opt for non-exclusive – I’m still waiting to see their non-exc. agreement.

        However, it’s 2 songs (with a 3yr reversion) . If I write at least 50 a year (and I’m on track to do way more than that), 2 songs is a very small risk.

        • Rob,

          That makes sense. Crucial had just picked up the same track that Multiverse was interested in. Having heard good things about Crucial I didn’t want to put all my irons in one fire.

          Hopefully Multiverse will be successful in getting placements. I’d gladly sign an exclusive if that were the case. Time will tell.

          Reply
          • Ben, that’s a good call. Crucial do seem to have a good track record and composers with them seem happy so I’d be giving them priority.
