MORE THAN MUSIC.
AN EXPERIENCE.

Muzak still owns the original masters of over 20,000 tracks by more than 500 orchestras and solo artists, recorded from the mid 1930s through the late 70’s and early 80’s by Muzak in their Manhattan studios. These are original artist recordings of their own compositions or popular songs of the day, and represent moments in time, captured by one of the most influential brands in music history.

STIMULUS PROGRESSION

As Muzak’s roster of clients continued to expand in the 1950’s, the company increased their research efforts to provide a superior product to their customers. While new delivery and signal improvements were a top priority, so too were the technological development and scientific refinement of the music itself.

ARTIST
SESSIONS

Beginning in 1934, Muzak studios were filled with recording sessions by the hottest bands, best musicians and vocalists of the day, with greats like the Dorsey Brothers, Fats Waller, Lionel Hampton, the Carter family, Louie Prima, the Deep River Boys, Earl Wild, Larry Clinton, the Polka Dots, Rosemary Clooney, and the list goes on and on.

CONTEMPORARY
ENVIRONMENTAL MUSIC
