How is Production Music Different than Film (and Other) Music?

There are some key differences that separate production music from other careers like film music, game music, and even songwriting, and today I want to discuss what really separates production music from other music for film, tv, games, and advertising.

Plus we feature a cue written by a member of the 52 Cues community, and this week, we’re gonna take a listen to “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” written by Nathan Toft (https://soundcloud.com/ntoft) which a sing-song arrangement of a classic folk song and features him on trombone!
