Sync licensing, from the vault
Music Worth Finding Again.
We help artists, labels, publishers, estates, and collectors turn overlooked recordings into new revenue through sync licensing.
From forgotten albums and unreleased sessions to private pressings and vintage gems, Catalog Revival uncovers the music worth bringing back to life and connects it with opportunities in film, television, advertising, games, and beyond.
Have a catalog worth reviving?
The founder
Built by someone who understands both sides of the record.
Catalog Revival was created by Farnell Newton, a musician, A&R executive, and sync specialist who has spent years working with artists and helping music find its way into film, television, advertising, sports, and other media.
After years of seeing incredible recordings overlooked, Catalog Revival was created around a simple idea:
Good music shouldn’t have an expiration date.
For music owners
Your Catalog Still Has Work to Do.
You may have recordings that haven't generated meaningful revenue in years. They may be sitting on hard drives, in storage, on old CDs, or buried in a catalog that hasn't been actively pitched.
Let's see if there's money hiding in your catalog.
01 Discover
Find the music.
02 Prepare
Get it sync ready.
03 Clear
Confirm the rights.
04 Pitch
Put it in front of the right people.
05 License
Turn the opportunity into revenue.
The difference
Why Revival?
Your music already exists. The opportunity may not have.
Forgotten Music Has Value
Great recordings don't stop being valuable because they stopped being promoted.
Sync Creates New Life
A placement can introduce an old recording to millions of new listeners.
We Know What Supervisors Need
We understand how music is actually selected, cleared, customized, and licensed.
Your Catalog Deserves Attention
We don't just ingest music. We listen, curate, and look for the right opportunities.
We Actually Listen
Catalog Revival isn't an automated upload portal. We dig through catalogs, listen for the recordings with potential, and use our experience in A&R and sync to identify the music worth bringing back.
