Composer Agreement

"I need a Composer Agreement for hiring a composer to create an original orchestral score for our video game, with exclusive worldwide rights and quarterly royalty payments, to be delivered by March 2025."

Document background
The Composer Agreement is essential for protecting the interests of both composers and commissioners in Singapore's music industry. This contract type clearly defines ownership rights, compensation, and usage terms for musical compositions, ensuring compliance with Singapore's Copyright Act and related regulations. It's particularly important in modern music publishing where digital rights and international distribution need careful consideration. The agreement typically covers everything from initial composition to final delivery, including performance rights, mechanical royalties, and digital platform usage.
