Originally, music was largely meant for entertainment. All the same music had to be worked on first, on the whole, the main art’s material in music is sound with pitch, melody and dynamics being the principal components. Unlike those ancient days the creation and production of music to date is done in ‘Music production companies’. Music production and songwriting are the main activities in these companies; the companies provide the physical basis for works in the domain of the performing arts, film, television, video and radio. The sole function of the companies is either to make music for projects or for varied clients (Mousike).

Music projects (Television shows and movies, Gaming, Advertising)
Television shows and movie’ production has enormously grown with time. The companies that create music expressing this mode distribute music to be placed in a show or a film. The style of this music is more practical than attractive as the music overseer necessarily does not look for a hit, but largely a musical track that transmits a particular feeling or mood. Musical tracks for films and television shows are often chosen to draw tension to the listener. Renowned proponents for this kind of art include, Marc Fishman and Joe Lambert.
Gaming: over the few years, the gaming industry has similarly grown in size and scope, the composers and sound designers, arts music to accompany a game. The music may be simplified, synthesizer-based, cinematic or orchestrated tracks.
Advertising; the world of advertising has music as a powerful tool. Simply put. Jingle writers work with advertising agencies to make easy and attractive tunes and lyrics in order to sell products in the media. (Nasri)

Music for varied clients (Artist’s development, beat making)

Artist’s development: Songwriters have long played a key role in the music industry, creation of

the lyrics and composing of songs has widely risen internationally. This has called for more professional techniques in doing music as only the strong survives and reach their targets; some music production companies have then been responsible for artist’ development, marketing and promotion whereby artists will typically sign an exclusive contract with the music production companies for one to two years, it follows that these Companies along with their important services have surely opened up new doors for artists. (Jesse)
Beat making: other production companies have specified in creating musical tracks for rappers and singers to record to (beat making). These companies have grown to be many all over hence providing a competitive market for the music producers to attain and grab artists. They provide quality services but most of them don’t offer marketing and promotion services to artists. (Josefsons)
Music production companies may specialize in either field be it working on projects or for diverse clients or even do both, some companies even will hold live shows and photo shoots along with the artists but a reputable music production company will always surpass.
