MUSIC FOR MEDIA
The Story's On Screen. The Feeling Comes From Us.
The right piece of music doesn't just complement a scene — it completes it. It's the difference between a viewer watching your content and a viewer feeling it. And once they feel it, they remember it. Sky High Music has been creating original music for film, television, advertising, and digital media for over three decades. From HBO primetime to Fortune 500 ad campaigns to independent film scores, we've been the sonic backbone behind stories that needed more than background noise.
Here's the Thing About Music for Media: It's Never Really About the Music.
Sounds counterintuitive, right? But the best media composers know that their job isn’t to write something impressive — it’s to write something invisible. Something that serves the story so completely that audiences don’t even realize they’re being emotionally guided by it.
That takes a different kind of listening. Keith doesn’t just read the brief and pick a tempo. He watches the cut. He asks what the director wants the audience to feel at the 1:12 mark. He finds the emotional grammar of the scene and builds a musical vocabulary to match it.
The result? Music that doesn’t sit on top of your project — it lives inside it.
"An uncanny ability to think in a direction others don't."
— Said of Keith Crane by industry collaborators
What Are We Scoring Today?
Film & Television
Long-form drama. Documentaries. Series. One-off specials. We've scored all of it. Broadcast-quality compositions, delivered on time, on budget, and on brief — including cue sheets and all necessary documentation for licensing and clearance.
Advertising & Commercial
The 30-second spot. The 60-second brand film. The 15-second pre-roll that has to hook someone before they can skip it. Commercial music is its own art form — high pressure, short form, and utterly unforgiving. Keith has created award-winning work in this space for brands like Revlon, Avon, Nutrisystem, Chase, Venus, and many more. He knows how to make every second count.
Games & Interactive
Gaming audio is in a league of its own — adaptive, loopable, emotionally responsive. We compose original scores for game environments that evolve with the player experience without ever feeling repetitive.
Digital & Social Content
YouTube. Podcasts. Brand content. Social campaigns. In today's content landscape, professional audio quality is a baseline expectation — not a luxury. We create high-impact, original music for the digital-first world at a speed that keeps up with your content calendar.
Corporate & Brand
Sonic branding. Internal videos. Trade show presentations. Investor reels. The music in these contexts does something specific: it makes your company sound the way you want your company to feel. We're very, very good at that.
The 'Left of Center' Advantage (And Why You Want It)
Anyone can hit the expected note. The jingle that sounds like a jingle. The thriller theme that sounds like a thriller theme. Safe, predictable, forgettable.
Keith’s creative default is to ask: what if we came at this from a direction nobody’s expecting? Not weird for weird’s sake — but genuinely surprising in a way that makes the work stick. The 30-second ad that you’re still humming three days later. The scene score that made you realize you were holding your breath.
That instinct for the unexpected, refined over 35 years working at the highest levels of the industry, is what separates a Sky High Music score from everything else in the brief stack.
