Michael Emperiom – Publishing Partnership
From Game Scoring to Contemporary Classical
After 25 years as a leading composer in the gaming industry, I am now intentionally refocusing my priorities. As a co-founder of Sound of Games, I’ve reached milestones like 1 billion monthly listeners in vide games (2023) and delivered soundtracks for Clash of Kings, Total War, and Doctor Who.
This established foundation gives me the freedom to bring my true artistic strengths—a blend of European classical tradition and modern, imaginative compositions—to the forefront, independent of interactive media. It is a deliberate move toward my own music and a personal sonic signature.
Listen to the Sound of Emperiom
Classical music, produced for a modern audience. Here is a selection of my latest releases and most successful tracks outside the gaming industry.
The Setup
I operate as a self-contained unit. My workflow and resources include:
- Release Cycle: A new single every 6 weeks.
- Marketing: A consistent monthly budget for fan-building and digital growth.
- Live & Digital: Self-organized concerts and a proprietary fan app currently in development.
- Production: High-end classical compositions in a niche that is stable and sustainable.
The Roadmap
I work with clear targets. My current trajectory is set for:
- 100,000 monthly listeners by June 2027.
- 100,000 TikTok followers by January 2027.
I’ve already grown to 10,000 monthly listeners and 10,000 TikTok followers through purely organic reach within my own infrastructure over the last 18 months.
What I am Looking For
I need a professional partner to handle the administrative side of my non-gaming catalog. Ideally, we would focus on:
- Administration: Reliable management of streaming, TV and other mechnical and perfoming rights.
- Sync: Active placement in film, advertising, and TV.
- Personal Contact: A dedicated person for direct communication.
- Active Scoring: I am available as a composer for your projects that require a unique and experienced musical identity.
- Strategic Scope: Please note that video games remain my primary business and are excluded from this specific publishing search.This partnership excludes video games, as I continue to handle that sector personally.
- Additionally, this is an opportunity to centralize and manage my previously uncollected mechanical and performing rights from streaming platforms as part of a new partnership.
Let’s connect.
If you see a potential fit for your roster, I would love to hear from you and discuss how we can work together.
