ARTSNS: A Dual Approach to Content Licensing and Field-Based A&R in the Documentation of Electronic Music Production
Files
Abstract
ARTSNS is a documentary series that goes behind the scenes to uncover the untold stories, techniques, and creative processes behind electronic music tracks, before they’re released. Through in-depth interviews and immersive filming, the series sheds light on the transformative journey of music production. The concept stemmed from a single question: "Who are the true artisans of music?" The answer led directly to the producers, those who shape sound in studios and home setups alike. ARTSNS opens a peephole into this hidden world, capturing the earliest stages of a track’s life, from raw idea to polished piece. To bring ARTSNS to life, it was crucial to establish a non-exclusive content license agreement covering the master recordings and compositions featured, alongside a synchronization license to include the tracks in the episodes.
