The Person Behind the Platform
Paul Lorenz
Founder & CEO · Composer
“I spent 30 years inside the music industry — Abbey Road, the London Symphony Orchestra, the major labels — and watched composers get paid fractions of their worth. Artyfile is the platform I wished existed: investment-grade music, owned outright, with composers who finally share in the upside.”
- 30 years in music — over 500 million streams across his catalog
- Collaborations with Universal Music, Sony Music & Warner
- Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios
- Founder-owned: a named composer behind the catalog, not an anonymous library
Cleared for business use
Where your corporate video runs — and what each surface has to clear
A corporate or brand film is a multi-year asset, and it rarely lives in one place. It runs on your website and YouTube channel, at trade-show booths, on reception and in-store screens, in sales and investor decks, in internal town halls and on your recruiting page. Every one of those is commercial use — and the music behind it needs to be cleared for all of it, not just the first upload. Here is what each surface requires, and what a single Artyfile license already covers.

GEMA & business use — without the paperwork
In Germany and much of Europe, showing music in an image film at a trade show, on your website or on your intranet requires both a synchronisation right and the performing right — that is GEMA’s own rule for corporate media, and it is exactly where companies fear back-claims and recurring fees. Because Artyfile administers the rights to its own catalogue directly, a licensed track arrives cleared for all of those uses, with no additional GEMA or collection-society fees to file or pay, and your video is subject to YouTube Content ID rules.
Producing the film for a client? Hand them rights they own.
A stock subscription (Epidemic Sound, Artlist) clears the video only while the subscription stays active and ties the clearance to your account — re-cut the film next year and you have to resubscribe, and the compliance risk can fall back on the client. An Artyfile buyout transfers cleanly: sync + master rights together, worldwide and for life, owned outright by whoever the license is for. Deliver the project knowing the client’s film is cleared forever — even after you move on.
What music can you legally use in a corporate video?
A corporate or image film is commercial use, so its music has to be cleared for business — not just "free to listen to". With ordinary copyrighted music that means clearing two separate rights: a synchronization license (to pair the music with picture) and a master-use license (to use the actual recording) — and, in Germany and much of Europe, the performing right on top. Get one wrong and the company is exposed to a takedown or a back-claim. Artyfile removes the guesswork: every track is real, original music that ships with sync and master rights together in one license, administered directly by Artyfile, worldwide and for life. One purchase covers your website, social channels, trade-show and presentation films, internal media and broadcast, with no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence. On YouTube a Content ID claim may appear, but it is not a copyright strike. Preview every track free, then download a studio-grade WAV the moment you buy.
GEMA and business use — what a corporate film actually has to clear
This is where most companies get caught out. Under GEMA's own rules, showing music in an image film at a trade fair, on your website or on your intranet requires the performing right in addition to the synchronization right — and those fees can recur. The fear of a back-claim is exactly why German marketing teams hesitate. Here is the honest split with Artyfile: the sync and master rights are administered directly by Artyfile, so your corporate video carries no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence — on your website, intranet, social channels, in presentations and broadcast. Public playback in a physical space — the film running at a trade-fair booth, on reception or in-store screens with sound, at an event — is a separate public-performance matter the exhibitor, venue or operator settles with GEMA (or PRS, AKM, SUISA), as with any music; Artyfile is GEMA-registered for worldwide monitoring. For TV and radio, cue sheets go to the collection societies — Artyfile supplies the details on request. See the full licensing details.
One license for every channel your corporate video runs on
A brand film is a multi-year asset, and it rarely lives in one place. The same video runs on your homepage and YouTube channel, in LinkedIn and paid-social campaigns, in trade-show and exhibition films, on reception and in-store screens, in sales and investor decks, in internal town halls and on your recruiting page. Subscription libraries often cap or upcharge exactly these uses — broadcast, paid media, out-of-home — and re-using the track in next year's cut can require a new license. Every Artyfile track is a single worldwide licence: one purchase covers the video on every corporate channel, every edit and every re-cut, with no per-platform fee and no renewal. (Public playback on screens in a venue remains the operator's separate matter with GEMA/PRS.)
Agencies and production companies: deliver a film with cleared music
One Artyfile Basic licence covers unlimited own projects and projects for clients or employers, worldwide and in perpetuity. The licence is held by, and stays with, you — the licensee (agency, freelancer or employee); it is non-transferable and cannot be sold, sublicensed or assigned to the client. Your client receives the finished corporate film with the music cleared inside it, documented by your licence certificate. A stock subscription (Epidemic Sound, Artlist) often clears a video only while the subscription stays active and ties the clearance to your account; cancel it, or re-cut the film next year, and the project can fall out of license. An Artyfile licence never expires. If the client wants to use the recording independently of the film, it needs its own licence — simplest is for the company to complete the checkout in its own name, since invoice and certificate follow the checkout details. Need the track reserved for one brand? An exclusive licence is available on request (§8.5).
Buy once vs subscribe — a corporate video outlives a subscription
Subscription libraries rent you access. Videos you publish while you pay stay cleared, but the catalogue is never yours: stop paying and you cannot use those tracks in anything new, you cannot freely re-edit existing films, and the bill recurs every month. A corporate video, by contrast, is meant to run for years. Artyfile is buy-once: pay from €29.90 for a track and it is licensed to you for life — reuse it across unlimited future films, edits, channels and clients, with no renewal. For the handful of signature tracks a brand actually reuses, a one-time license costs a fraction of an open-ended subscription over a few years.
What music for a corporate video costs
Artyfile Basic — €29.90 per track, once. A lifetime, worldwide synchronization and master-use license covering every channel a corporate film runs on — website, YouTube, LinkedIn, trade-show films, presentations, internal media and broadcast — with no subscription, no per-platform fee and no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence. Download a studio-grade WAV instantly. Compare that to a custom composition (often four to five figures) or a per-use sync quote, and a flat one-time licence is the predictable, finance-friendly option marketing teams prefer. Some premium tracks carry individual pricing shown on the track. See full pricing & licenses.
Real, recorded music — a premium brand sound, not the same stock loop
Most corporate videos are scored with the same handful of stock loops everyone else uses — and audiences feel the sameness. Artyfile's catalogue is performed by real musicians and orchestras — Artyfile's orchestral catalog is recorded by world-class ensembles and musicians at world-class studios like Abbey Road Studios, under composer Paul Lorenz (30 years, 500M+ streams) — alongside warm acoustic, electronic, ambient and cinematic pieces built for brand film. Unlike AI-generated tracks or generic library loops, every recording has clear human authorship and fully documented rights — which is exactly what makes it safe to clear for a company and to use in client work. Browse music for film and music for commercials too, or the full catalogue. Need something written to your brand? We also offer a custom score.
Own a share of the master, don't just rent the music
Stock and subscription libraries only ever rent you music. With Artyfile Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share, max. 20 per recording) a company or producer can own numbered shares of the master recording, entered in Artyfile’s ownership register — so when the recording is streamed or licensed again, you receive a pro-rata share, which is not guaranteed and may be zero. Use the music safely across every corporate channel for life, or own a piece of it.
How it's made
A real orchestra. At Abbey Road. For your video.
Artyfile’s orchestral recordings begin where the great film scores do — real players in a real room. Our flagship is Paul Lorenz’s Violin Concerto No. 2, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios; the wider catalogue is played by the Artyfile Orchestra, world-class session musicians at studios like Abbey Road. Every recording is then finished with the professional studio craft used on modern film scores. That is the depth and humanity AI-generated music and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake — and, unlike AI tracks, every recording carries clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find music cleared specifically for corporate and business videos?
Artyfile licenses real, original music for exactly this use. Every track ships with a worldwide synchronization and master-use license in one, administered directly by Artyfile, covering corporate and brand films across your website, YouTube, LinkedIn, trade-show and presentation films, internal media and broadcast — with full commercial rights and no additional collection-society fee on the licence. Preview every track free and buy from €29.90.
Do I need a GEMA license to use music in a corporate video?
For the sync use, no: because Artyfile administers the sync and master rights to its own catalogue directly, there is no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence for your corporate video — on your website, intranet, social channels or in presentations. Public playback in a physical space — a trade-fair booth, reception or in-store screen with sound, an event — is a separate public-performance matter that the exhibitor, venue or operator settles with GEMA (or PRS, AKM, SUISA), as with any music; Artyfile is GEMA-registered.
Does one license cover my company video on the website, YouTube, at trade shows and in presentations?
Yes. An Artyfile license is a single worldwide licence, so the same track is cleared on your website and YouTube channel, in LinkedIn and paid-social campaigns, in trade-show and presentation films, in sales and investor decks, in internal town halls and on your recruiting page — across every edit and re-cut, with no per-platform fee. Playing the film publicly at a booth or on screens in a venue is the operator's separate matter with GEMA/PRS.
I run a production agency — can I license music for a client's corporate video?
Yes — one Basic licence covers unlimited own projects and projects for clients, worldwide and in perpetuity, but the licence stays with you, the licensee, and is non-transferable. Your client receives the finished corporate film with cleared music, documented by your licence certificate; a stock subscription, by contrast, can tie that clearance to an active plan. If the client wants to use the recording independently of the film, it needs its own licence — or the client completes the checkout in its own name so that invoice and certificate are issued to the company.
Is it cheaper to buy a track or pay a subscription like Epidemic Sound or Artlist for corporate video?
For corporate video, buying is usually cheaper and safer. Subscriptions rent you a library: videos stay cleared only while you pay, you cannot re-edit or reuse the tracks once you stop, and the cost recurs forever. Artyfile is buy-once from €29.90 — the track is licensed to you for life across unlimited future films, edits and clients. A corporate video runs for years, so a one-time license beats an open-ended subscription over time.
How much does music for a corporate video cost?
Artyfile Basic is a one-time €29.90 per track for a lifetime, worldwide license covering every channel a corporate film runs on, with no subscription and no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence. That compares with four- to five-figure custom compositions and per-use sync quotes, which is why marketing teams prefer a flat, predictable one-time licence. Some premium tracks carry individual pricing shown on the track.
Is Artyfile music safe on a company YouTube channel without copyright strikes?
Yes. Every Artyfile track is licensed with documented sync and master rights. Artyfile registers its catalog in YouTube Content ID with a monetization policy: a claim may appear, but it is not a copyright strike, and your corporate video stays online; with Basic, ad revenue claimed for the music goes to Artyfile, not to your channel.
Can a company or production agency own a share of the music it licenses?
Yes — with Artyfile Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share, max. 20 per recording) you own numbered shares of the master recording, entered in Artyfile’s ownership register, with a pro-rata share of streaming, Content ID and future sync revenue when the recording is used again — not guaranteed and possibly zero; not an investment product. Use the music safely across every corporate channel for life, or own a piece of it.
