Every genre.

GMP Music has been building a production music library that prioritizes specificity over volume since 1986. Sixty thousand tracks is a meaningful number only if the catalog is searchable, the metadata is honest, and the genres are recognizable to the people who use them — producers, agency creatives, documentary editors, and creators. Genre is the first step in that search, which is why every track in our library is filed under a clear genre lane before mood, instrumentation, and tempo refine the result.

Each of the genres on this page maps to a long-form essay describing how it tends to be used in licensed work, what production conventions define it, and where it most often appears in finished spots, episodes, and films. The essays are written for working professionals — the goal is to save you the half-hour you would otherwise spend explaining what you mean by "cinematic" or "corporate."

Every genre in this catalog ships with the same rights treatment: one standard license covers master and publishing, in perpetuity, with broadcast performance routed through BMI and ASCAP. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. This consistency is the reason the GMP catalog is used across national network commercials, documentaries, scripted television, and creator content alike — the legal posture does not change with the genre. A jazz quartet for a Sunday-night doc and a hybrid orchestral trailer cue for a national spot are treated identically at the license layer.

The catalog is built by staff composers and trusted outside collaborators. Every track is mixed, mastered, and metadata-checked before it is filed, so searching by genre on GMP returns a list of usable tracks. When you reach for "orchestral" or "ambient" on our platform, the first ten results are a working shortlist, not the start of a longer hunt.
