"We have also sound-houses, where we practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generation. We have harmonies, which you have not, of quarter-sounds and lesser slides of sounds. Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have, together with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep, likewise great sounds extenuate and sharp; we make divers tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which set to the ear do further the hearing greatly. We also have divers strange and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and as it were tossing it, and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller and some deeper; yea, some rendering the voice differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have also means to convey sounds in trunks and pipes, in strange lines and distances."

-- Francis Bacon, from The New Atlantis 1624

LICENSING

We are experimenting with a new pricing model for audio files and sync licensing:

Audio Files
Audio tracks will be available for download for free with a "name your price" option, as single tracks or albums.

Non-Exclusive Sync
A non-exclusive, royalty-free sync license may be purchased for [$100] per track. Once a track has been licensed on a non-exclusive basis, it will be marked with an asterisk (*). This offer is designed for student or low-budget film projects in need of professional quality soundtracks. Once a track has been licensed on a non-exclusive basis, it will remain available as an audio file and for subsequent non-exclusive licensing.

Exclusive Sync
For any track that has not been previously licensed on a non-exclusive basis, an exclusive, royalty-free sync license may be purchased for [$1,000] per track. Once a track has been licensed on an exclusive basis, it will remain available as an audio file but but sync licenses will no longer be offered.
