Hey Mac-Dee,
I am a composer from Australia too. Rates vary from country to country. In Australia we would be lucky to get 10-40% of what someone would get in the USA. There are no set rules for fees here. Music for a television commercial for example can range from AU$2,000-$20,000 for a composer's fee as a rough guide. It depends on what the commercial is for, what type of music (e.g orchestral vs electronic), who the composer is. What sort of composing work do you mean? Music for TV/film etc.. Who are you "selling" a 3:30 song to? |
