This time Simon Webb and Ferry van Beek had the pleasure talking with Morgan McKnight, Executive Director of the Production Music Association (PMA).

The PMA was founded in 1997 after a US performing rights society planned to impose a cap on production music royalties. Several production music companies came together and successfully opposed this issue.

Since then the PMA has continued pursuing the interests of the production music publishers.

In this episode of Synchronized! we talk to Juliette Metz (Director at Encore Merci) and Martin Nedved (Managing Director Studio Fontana) about the IPMG and what it stands for.

Listen to an hour full of great information and conversation about the wonderful world of production music.

In our previous episode you could listen to one of the disruptors of our industry.

We were eager to find out how much of an impact these disruptors have one old skool publishers.

So this episode we talk to Patrik Hinrichs from AMG Scandinavia (formerly AUX Publishing).

He tells us about the impact that Epidemic Sound had on the industry in Scandinavia and predicts that all of us will have similar experiences in the nearby future.

Another hour of insight on how our industry is changing rapidly.

The issue of the disruptors in the production music industry has been raised on a regular basis on previous episodes of Synchronized!

This time Simon Webb and Ferry van Beek took the bull by the horns, so instead of just talking about the disruptors they decided to talk with one directly.

In this episode of Synchronized! Ori Winokur, head of music at Artlist, talks to us about their platform and the differences between them and the traditional production music labels.

Happy Easter!
