Music for resturants

Creating Ambience is only partly achieved by creating the physical environment of a resturant. Music is required to create that background ambience that is not intrusive yet provides mood and feeling for the resturant.

Engaging music on the other hand will detract from the connection people will have with each other at a restaurant. So it is a challenge to get this right for many today. Traditional music is also not the first choice for many country cuisine restaurant owners. Some now are choosing a style of music that is more in keeping with the tastes of their customers rather than choosing traditional music that does not always appeal the their customer base.

Here at Ambient Music Garden we offer a wide range of ambient relaxation music that is downloadable instantly and can be used via a mp3 player or burnt onto a CD. Using our Royalty-Free Production Music License we allow restaurants to use our music within their premises without additional performance fees that resturant owners will incur over time.

Music for Dance

I recently enjoyed a show where a number of different dance groups presented themes for dancing. Each theme represented a feeling or a natural body of some sort. So for example we had happiness as a feeling, and the planets as natural bodies.

I was struck by the affect that the music had on the whole presentation. The quality of the PA system and the way that the music was mixed in and out and how the dancers synchronised their dancing to match the passion of the music as it flowed.

I also noticed how with some shows it was hard to be drawn into the dance and to understand how it connected to the theme. For example the planets dance I found suffered because the music didn’t have anything that would connect our emotions and give a good feel for planets in motion and circling our sun.

This then made the dance ambiguous to my eyes, I would have thought I would see arcs & rotating shapes within the choreography.

I thought to myself, something ‘spacey’ would do well. If dance companies had a collection of music online that they could just press a button and listen to music from different genres to find something that sounded like it was representing heavenly bodies in motion within our solar system, not quite ‘Star Wars’ theme, but more ambient and longer in length enabling a dance piece to run without needing to have audio edits because the tracks were too short.

Well, that’s exactly what we have here at Ambient Music Garden. You can browse the categories and click to listen to each of the pieces of music ranging from ambient and relaxation, through more meditative music to chillout and downtempo mp3s. All for instant download.

The license we have designed to meet the needs of live shows like this is called the Royalty Free Production Library Music License which means that you have the agreement of the music artist to use their music in a public place and play it to an audience there. Cds that you buy from shops and mp3s you download from iTunes do not come with that agreement.

Music for Theatres and Shows

Music, particularly ambient music, provides an opportunity to create emotionally engaging drama when connected with the acting of a play.

Ambient music can evoke emotions from sadness and fear to happiness and relaxation. Using Ambient Music Garden’s range of categories drama clubs can browse, listen to and choose to download from a range of different artists and styles.

Using our Royalty-Free Production Music Licence, drama clubs and theatres will be licensed to use this music in public performances as well as interludes.

Music for Websites and Flash

Music for web sites and also for Flash projects within web sites is a different challenge from the graphical artistic lead design of most web sites.

As new media hits web sites nowadays it is still critical for web designers to create consistency and continue to attract the attention of the visitor. Breaks and interruptions to video feeds are common but yet risk loosing visitors to other sites and attractions at the blink of an eye.

Using compressed mp3 formats does have its challenges with quality but this is a balance with the need to offer a continuously playing piece of music to all the target customer’s bandwidth profiles.

Flash provides a great way to embed mp3s and stream or download them right from the browser. Many websites look to applications outside the browser to play a piece of complimentary music however in this way the site owner looses contact with the customer and hands over the web site’s experience to an additional application. With Flash you are able to keep the continuity.

With Ambient Music Garden music many are of a long enough length that shorter pieces with varying versions of the same piece of music can be presented to the customer depending on where they are within the website’s ‘funnel’.

Additionally, using Ambient Music Garden’s commissioning process (use the Contact Us form on the home page), website owners can have a piece of music created specifically for their website. Added to this, requesting specialist audio engineering skills that Ambient Music Garden has, specially compressed audio that enables a much lower file size for the respective length of track can be achieved via Flash. Flash can be used as a multi-track player that will enable up to eight tracks of audio to play.

Therefore there is a choice of each track to be compressed differently according to what can realistically be achieved. Additionally, repetitive pieces of audio can be looped whilst other pieces of music introduced and faded out. The end result is that the listener will hear a long piece of music at a higher quality than can be achieved through simple streaming of an mp3. This reduces costs as bandwidth requirements are reduced too.

Using Royalty Free Production Library Music Within Your Business Project

Royalty Free Production Library Music is a great and cost effective way to create a professional finish to many business projects from digital media to bricks and mortar.

New retail outlets that want to present a calm and relaxed environment can quickly gain that atmosphere with a piece of relaxation music or a collection collated and downloaded as mp3s to then play within their store.

Not only stores but professional services waiting rooms, galleries and restaurants all benefit from the atmosphere and mood settling that relaxation mp3 downloads create.

As they are royalty free, they are not chargeable once the initial purchase price for the use associated with the licence has been made.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalty_free

The price, different to simple listening at home, reflects the business use and that the piece of music will be publicly heard by many within a building over time, and also within digital projects over time as well.

Digital projects require ambience as well. Since digital design companies are able to create stunning graphical and video productions for clients there is a powerful need to compliment this visuals with music that matches the feel of the video.

By using a royalty free piece from Ambient Music Garden you will be able to request different formats for use in your editing stage to meet the quality needs of the client.

Music on hold and websites require a higher compressed file for different reasons. Although many telephone networks are now digital, they are still analogue for the last part of the journey to the customer’s office or home. This means that the quality of audio is still at a compromised level compared to all digital networks using fibre optic.

Prices at Ambient Music Garden for purchasing music for business use are dependent on the length of the track. The longer tracks can often give more variations to a track to then use in slightly different ways across a production. Additionally, the length of a piece will mean that it will be able to cover longer productions from end to end without any sound editing required.

Pricing for royalty-free production library music usually starts at around $40 per piece. This is reflects the value that a piece of music will have on a business project.

An artist that is willing to have their work associated with business ventures can use this market to create a career in creating music for business use in an industry where creating a career is nowadays somewhat challenges by the changing purchasing behaviour of consumers and the in ability of record labels to keep up and monetise new market opportunities.
