"It gave me an early appreciation of the immense possibilities of construction kits. I quickly realised you can knock up a perfectly good track in no time at all and with very little effort! This can only be win/win for new composers who wish to bypass the whole 'learning' thing..."

Our story...

 

Hi there! Well, it's been an interesting 10 years since we last appeared on the internet. Some of you may recall we nearly launched back in 2014. Unfortunately, our funding fell through and we weren't able to go live at that time. However, the exciting news is we have just received VC funding from a different source and we are happy to say that our new source is as committed to our business model as we are.

What Are We?...

QFM is a music library and bespoke composition service.

At QFM.com our aim is simple - to revolutionise the music marketplace to enable broadcasters/programme makers/ad agencies/amateur video makers across the world access to great music, composed by top composers for FREE!! Yes, 100% free! You do not have to worry about greedy composers moaning about 'demo fees' and 'royalties' any more. Indeed, back in history music was free for everybody and our business model and ethics are about getting back to those values!

 

Interested? Read on...!

WHY?

 

As a programme maker or even owner of a youtube video, have you ever been in a position where your project has no budget? But you still need great music to complete the project? So maybe you require a certain track that you like from a certain media composer? OK, naturally you email them explaining the situation and explaining that the budget has been used up on filming and lighting etc...

 

...so after you explain the situation you get the email back from the composer. But usually this is where the problem starts as they do not value the concept of free creativity. Usually they make a remark about 'not working for free'. As a result, many worthwhile projects are left unfinished.

 

...Or maybe, more importantly, you're an agency producing an ad with a message  (maybe about allergies or pet products) but you are forced to pay a composer for 'bespoke' music. But then you find the ad had no effect because the music was weak...

 

This is not a good situation as you have paid for something that has not worked. In effect, you have wasted valuable funds which could be spent on more important charitable causes (donations to support groups like AA for example - or other motoring organisations).

 

"WE CAN!!"

 

...or maybe you want to use some library music tracks in your drama documentary but then you have to pay many dollars to licence them. Thereby stripping out all the budget that could be spent on actors, special fx, catering, vehicle hire, animal training, hotels, flights etc.

 

So we asked ourselves the question: "Why can't we have free music?" The answer is really very simple.

 

WE CAN!!

 

We firmly believe that music was meant to be free and that many composers are now being greedy in times of hardship for programme makers and ad agencies.

 

After all, music is essential to life like the air that we breathe...like peeling a ripened banana...visiting the zoo with elderly relatives...walking a small dog in the woods on a sunny day...all wonderful, essential, life-affirming things - which are free. Let's make music free too!

 

THE GOOD NEWS IS...

 

 

 

THE GOOD NEWS!

 

To address this, we have put together a roster of first class composers, available 24/7 and prepared to work for free. No more demo fees for unsuccesful projects! No more pain of the admin of royalties! More importanly, clients no longer need to feel embarrassed by asking 'the free question'.

 

 

 

WHAT WE OFFER

 

AN ONLINE MUSIC LIBRARY

 

Once we go live, we will have a database of over 5,840 free tracks for use over a wide range of genres, from Rock to Blues and everything in between.

 

BESPOKE COMPOSITION

 

Our composers will compose music especially for your ad or documentary. We will pitch for free - remember, no more moaning about demo fees! For us it isn't about the demo fee. It is about working with programme makers to create great products.

 

WHEN

 

Our new V.2 site goes live in a few months and we will gradually be rolling out the new music library with enhanced auditioning features over the next few weeks.
