How it works.
Custom scoring, artist sync, or catalogs: every path in sync starts with writing to spec.
- 01
Practice
Generate a brief or pick a practice brief, and write a syncable track. It is yours to keep: build your catalog, release it as an artist, or just get the reps.
- 02
Submit to a catalog
Catalog briefs are built with partner catalogs from what their clients keep asking for. No deadline. Every submission gets written feedback, and the strongest go into the catalog.
- 03
Get paid work
Three catalog placements make you a verified composer. That opens paid client briefs: confidential, pre-release jobs with short turnarounds.
◆ Human-made. Sonant is built for composers, and catalogs are hearing it from their clients too: original music, no AI.
Questions.
What is Sonant?
A practice tool for sync composers. Write to briefs built like the real thing, get written feedback, and get your best tracks into catalogs that pitch them to brands, film, and games.
What are the different briefs?
Practice briefs are for reps, and anyone can write to them. Catalog briefs come from music houses looking for specific tracks, and that is where you submit. Paid client briefs open up for verified composers.
What feedback do I get?
Every catalog submission gets written feedback on the track, whether it goes to the catalog or not. It is tied to the brief you wrote to, so it stays specific.
What happens after I submit?
Every track gets listened to against the brief, and you get written feedback by email and in your Dashboard. The strongest go to the catalog, and they make the final call, usually within a week.
What are the terms if my track places?
Each catalog lists its deal on the Catalogs page. Thought Collective is exclusive, with a 50/50 split on sync fees when a track places.
Who are the catalogs?
Right now, Thought Collective, a brand-focused catalog. More partners are on the way, and each one lists its deal on the Catalogs page.
How do submission credits work?
Each submission costs one credit. Every free account gets one credit a month, and extra credits are $10 each from your Dashboard.
How do I get paid client briefs?
Get three tracks accepted into a catalog. Client briefs are confidential, pre-release work, so they open to verified composers only. Once you are verified they show at the top of Briefs, and we email you when a new one lands.
Can I use AI?
Sonant is built for human-made music. Each catalog sets its own rule, shown on its card and on its briefs, and you confirm it when you sign on. Thought Collective is human-made only. Even where AI is allowed, lean away from it: AI-generated stems and vocals are a gray area for rights, and many clients ask for no AI at all.
Do I need an account?
Not to try the Generator. You need a free account to save briefs and submit tracks.
