About The Composer

Neil Cartwright
Neil Cartwright
Composer

My interest in film has been with me forever but my music career started as a chorister, then head chorister at Liverpool Cathedral. My further music studies took me to Liverpool University and Trinity College of Music where I gained an Honours Degree in Music and a Performing Diploma. After graduation, I taught music in independent schools across the south-east of England and Switzerland, directing the music in three of those schools.

My composition work for television started in 1999. In 2004 I was commissioned to write the score for the TV series ‘British Isles: A Natural History’ (8 x 60’ BBC1), presented by Alan Titchmarsh and this was nominated for a BAFTA award. My more recent compositions from my Berkshire studio have included the score for World’s Greatest Shipwrecks (10 x 50′ NatGeo) and the Countryfile Special ‘Queen and Country’ (3 x 60′ BBC1). In addition to commissioned work, my online MCPS Music Production Library is in constant use by the BBC and a large number of independent film companies in the UK and overseas. The library is digitally registered with Soundmouse – the UK’s leading broadcast reporting provider.

I continue to enjoy inspiring the next generation of musicians, teaching pupils of varying ages across keyboard studies, mixing, performing and the art of composition.

My advice for up and coming musicians: we are all only limited by our imagination!

FAQ
How can I use your music?
Search, audition and download by logging in. To use the music in a project you need an MCPS licence. You can license a single track or a larger collection for the project — if in doubt, contact us.
Do I need a licence to use your music?
Yes. To use any music in this Production Music Library you need an MCPS licence. Licences are issued by PRS for Music on behalf of MCPS, and last for the lifetime of the project.
How much does it cost to license a track?
Pricing depends on how the music is used — broadcast, online, corporate, advertising — and the duration of use. MCPS publishes a standard rate card, and we're happy to advise on the right licence for your project. Get in touch for a quote.
What audio formats do you provide?
All tracks are available as broadcast-quality 24-bit/48kHz WAV files to download. The previews you hear in the player are high quality MP3 files.
Is your music cleared for worldwide use?
Yes. The catalogue can be licensed in any territory through your local MCPS-equivalent collection society (ASCAP/BMI in the US, GEMA in Germany, SACEM in France). Cue sheets are provided for all broadcast productions.
Is the music exclusive, or can other people use the same track?
The library is non-exclusive, so the same track may appear in other productions. If you need exclusivity for a campaign or brand we can commission an original piece — please get in touch.
Can I save tracks to come back to later?
Yes. Once you've signed in you can build playlists and tag favourites. Playlists are saved to your account and persist between sessions and devices.
How do I download a WAV?
Click the download icon on a track row. The first time you download a piece, you'll be asked to confirm a valid MCPS licence. Once confirmed, you can download any piece on the website.
I can't find what I need…
Please get in touch. The style of music you're after may already be in production, or we may be able to commission it.
Can I talk to someone about my project?
We offer bespoke services and regularly meet with prospective clients. Get in touch and we'll set something up.
