San Francisco's Center for Inspired Music Creation, Development and Production
Talking House is a production company specializing in music and other audio arts programming.
With six experienced producers, a team of entertainment business vets, a widening network of close industry contacts, a record label, and a world-class recording campus, we create, develop and produce original content -- thoughtful, fresh, critically acclaimed music, often socially and politically aware, and always entertaining.
We work with musical artists to cultivate their vision, develop their work and bring out their best recorded performances, and we create original projects based on our own vision and market opportunities.
Our in-house independent record label helps take our artists to the fans in the streets, and we work with partners in music and entertainment to develop opportunities to widely promote and distribute these original works -- record labels, film producers, TV producers, and advertising agencies.
We also develop projects on behalf of media partners: Record labels, recording artists and artist agents come to us to produce their albums and singles. Film and TV producers hire us to score and produce an entire soundtrack, or license a Talking House artist's song or an original composition by our in-house composers. We also serve global ad agencies who need the finest original songs written and produced for commercials and videos. We offer a full slate of production expertise in project management and oversight, composition, arrangement and audio production and mastering.
The Talking House team has provided production services for many of the world's best-selling Grammy™-winning recording artists, and for talented San Francisco-based independent artists; for global Fortune 500® companies and non-profits, tech startups, and indie film production houses.
