If you’re interested in working with Christopher at Tin Works, please check the Hiring page.

If you're making any sort of production where you would like to utilize Christopher's music under any sort of still imagery, video footage, or even as background music on a website, you have to obtain two licenses:

1. A Sync License, for the rights to use the composition
2. A Master Use License, for the rights to use the recording

The Sync License can be obtained by emailing his publishing representatives at Concord Music, found on the Contact page. The Master Use license can be obtained by emailing directly info[at]musicprods.co.uk. This is true regardless of whether it's a for-profit or charity video.

Christopher is very open to being sampled. In fact, he has been sampled in the past by artists from a wide range of genres, from hip-hop to EDM. In order to sample one of his songs, you'll have to get the same two licenses you would if you were looking to license it for use in a film, TV show, commercial, or video game:

1. A Sync License, for the rights to use the composition
2. A Master Use License, for the rights to use the recording

The Sync License can be obtained by emailing his publishing representative at Concord Music, Sean Patrick Flahaven at sean.flahaven[at]concord.com. The Master Use license can be obtained by emailing info[at]musicprods.co.uk.

Yes please! We love seeing them! But make sure you credit 'Christopher Tin' as the composer, in addition to the name of the piece, in the video title. Also bear in mind that his publishers, Concord Music/Boosey & Hawkes, will potentially run ads on the video. Also, if this is a new arrangement of his music, please see the next FAQ.

If you're creating a new sheet music arrangement of one of his works for public performance (i.e. school concert, church concert, etc.) you'll need to get a simple arranging license from Hal Leonard. Just bear in mind that there are a few conditions:

1. You have to credit 'Christopher Tin' as the composer.
2. You can't sell or give away free downloads of the sheet music of your arrangement to people outside of your performing ensemble, without obtaining a license from his publisher, Concord Music.
3. In order to sell, or distribute to streaming services, recordings of your performance, you need to get a standard mechanical license from the Harry Fox Agency.

It's a convention borrowed from the film scoring world. When you're recording scores for film, TV, or video games, the orchestra players don't get a chance to practice the music before the session; they just show up and sightread it. Omitting key signatures and just putting the accidentals in the bars makes it easier to sightread, particularly for pieces that are highly chromatic, or modulate frequently.
