Applications are now open for the Fall 2026 Robin Film Grant. 🎬 This cycle, we’ve expanded the program to more than $5,000 in awards and filmmaker resources, including a $1,000 cash grant specifically for licensing commercially released music discovered through Robin. We’re also excited to welcome an incredible group of partners supporting filmmakers across project development, financing, distribution, audience development, localization, subtitling, dubbing, and industry mentorship: Greenlit, YOW.tv, Rise, Wordbank, 4:08 Productions, Adapt, and JACKTV. Our inaugural grant recipient, Taylor Hammersla, used Robin to discover and license music from Sub Pop and Downtown Music for his film, “The Valley Buzz.” We can’t wait to see what filmmakers discover this time around. Applications are free and open to filmmakers worldwide through November 15. Apply: https://lnkd.in/g45i6kcs

New research from MusicAtlas × SoundsPro: A Framework for Modern Music Catalog Acquisitions What if catalog buyers could evaluate more opportunities before committing significant resources to diligence? Using Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. as a case study, MusicAtlas and SoundsPro examine how broad catalog screening and valuation intelligence can work alongside deep technical rights diligence. The thesis: screen wide, audit deep, sign informed. Read the research by Apolline Reymond and Neil Shah: https://lnkd.in/gtzuJ7xb

One year ago today, we started MusicAtlas around a simple idea: the rich history of recorded music should be searchable by sound. Since then, that idea has grown into a platform used by thousands of artists, labels, publishers and creative teams to search, understand and value music catalogs. We’ve indexed millions of commercially released tracks, built products spanning catalog intelligence, search, valuation and licensing, and started working with some of the most important artists and companies in music. There’s still a lot to build. Year two starts today. – Neil, Jason, Clayton & MusicAtlas

There are over 300 million commercially released recordings. Your catalog is an important part of that. But do you truly understand it? Introducing SyncSearch. Only on MusicAtlas.

New for SyncSearch catalog partners: Chart Performance. Rights owners can now visualize chart footprint across platforms, countries, and tracks in real time – including chart runs, platform distribution, geographic reach, and catalog penetration. Instead of manually piecing together fragmented reports, teams can instantly understand how their catalog is performing globally and which recordings are driving visibility across streaming ecosystems. Over time, we believe performance infrastructure becomes increasingly valuable when paired directly with catalog intelligence itself: · Which tracks consistently travel across markets? · Which platforms over-index for a catalog? · Where is momentum forming geographically? · Which songs sustain long-term chart presence? · How concentrated or diversified is catalog performance? Historically, performance data has often lived separately from catalog search and creative workflows. We believe the next era brings these systems together into a unified intelligence layer for commercially released music. SyncSearch is more than catalog search. It’s operational intelligence for modern music catalogs. https://lnkd.in/ernapcsw

New for SyncSearch catalog partners: Catalog DNA. Catalog DNA makes catalog knowledge instant. Labels, publishers, and rights owners can now visualize the shape of their catalog across sound, vocals, lyrics, tempo, energy, loudness, and harmonic profile. Instead of relying only on spreadsheets, tags, or memory, teams can understand what a catalog actually contains at a glance and use that intelligence to support search, pitching, creative strategy, valuation discussions, and partner conversations. Over time, we believe this kind of infrastructure will become increasingly important not only for discovery, but for understanding catalog composition itself: · How differentiated is a catalog? · Where does it overlap with another? · Which catalogs are complementary? · What markets or moods dominate? · Where are there concentration risks or gaps? Historically, catalogs have largely been analyzed financially. We believe the next era also includes understanding them structurally. SyncSearch is more than catalog search. It’s critical infrastructure and intelligence for commercially released music. https://lnkd.in/e9d_Su8T
