NIGHT FIRE
Emperia Musicworks
Great soundtracks deserve a life beyond the game. We love video games, and treat game music – and the composers and artists who make it – with the enthusiasm and reverence they deserve.
Emperia Records is a boutique video game music record label run by rights experts, composers, and producers fully focused on the best in game music. Founded in 2022 by the creative team at Emperia Sound and Music, Emperia Records takes game music seriously. We fuel the creation of gaming inspired music in new and evocative arrangements.
Emperia Records offers global distribution with transparency and tailored artist support. We work with everything from AAA franchises to the smallest indie and mobile games, to tabletop RPGs, visual novels, and other interactive experiences. Beyond that, we fuel the creation of gaming inspired music in new and evocative arrangements.
With an evergreen slate of new and upcoming releases, Emperia Records is the best new home for soundtracks and game inspired music.
Inspired by video game music, but conceived and produced for licensed placements in all forms of broadcast media. Emperia Musicworks is available for license globally and exclusively through our partners at Universal Production Music.
Emperia’s history in large part lies with scoring games, making Emperia Musicworks the single most precocial catalog in the world and the perfect source for music licensing into all formats for interactive media.
Beyond interactive media, it was quickly obvious the skillset and quality of music would translate into a much broader context – bold music for all forms of media.
This is the world’s first production music library built exclusively for game developers and interactive media creators. It is compatible with any of the industry standard middleware audio engines, such as Audiokientic’s Wwise and Firelight Technologies’ FMOD.
Many members of our team have extensive expertise in the world of music licensing and through its fusion with our collective skillset in interactive audio, we pioneered a groundbreaking approach for interactive music licensing.
After long and fruitful discussions, it wasn’t a big surprise when Universal Production Music, the top music licensing company in the world, wanted to work together and roll out a new partnership – a hybrid of Emperia’s expertise creating interactive sound and music, paired with Universal Production Music’s global presence and the power of high-caliber music for licensing.
Music licensing for interactive media has never been approached with such ambition and a global scale… until now. We call it Gamescape.
After successfully launching the interactive audio solutions company Emperia Sound and Music in 2019, the scope of both the company and requests for our work grew quickly. And as that scope increased, our desire to spread our wings into adjacent lanes grew as well.
We saw a burning desire for music production, not just on a bespoke asset basis, to produce high fidelity interactive music for licensing – making top of class music accessible for developers for both in-experience and broadcast needs. We saw a burning desire for a new synergistic approach.
Thus, Emperia Music Group was created – a label group dedicated to music for and from interactive media. Our labels include music global distributed for interactive and linear media licensing and a record label devoted to the best in original soundtracks, music inspired by video games, and video game music covers.
