It’s super exciting to see crowdsourcing spreading to all these new industries! So, naturally, when we came across a homepage redesign project (which, by the way, was awarded to cloud168 , congratulations!) we had to get in touch with them and find out what their site’s going to be all about! I got in contact with Scott, one of the founders of MusikPitch and received some great background information on the upcoming site.
MusikPitch will work a lot like crowdSPRING in that anyone looking for music can post a project, set a price, and listen to the music that pores in. Songwriters and composers can pitch their original songs to the project holder in attempt to win the award. The buyer then picks the song they like best and purchases the licen
se to that song.
This website opens up new platforms for Music Supervisors who are looking for film underscores, video game makers needing music for their games, corporations looking to brand their products with a song, or even musicians looking for lyrics to a new song. This will also be very helpful for anyone wanting a song made for their wedding, festival, reunion, etc.
For the musicians out there this opens up a level playing field in a very hard industry to come into. You no longer have to “know somebody” to have your music heard or bought.
