Production music company West One Music announces the addition of movie trailer music aficionado Q-Factory to its roster of labels.
Q-Factory Music, the foremost music and sound design catalog for the trailer music industry, is heading to West One Music Group. The global production music company has announced the addition of Q-Factory to its collection of labels, welcoming Q-Factory founder and creative director Robert Etoll to its ranks.
Based in Los Angeles, the Q-Factory catalog consists of over 75 meticulously created albums comprising over 3,500 instrumental tracks. All of these are either produced or executive produced by Etoll.
The catalog will be featured on West One Music’s website, with the company assuming all administrative tasks worldwide through a global management agreement. Q-Factory will continue to be owned by MEP Capital, an investment firm specializing in media and entertainment.
Etoll launched the Q-Factory library 25 years ago, building it album by album with his own compositions alongside contributions from other specialist trailer composers. He has been a pioneer in creating sound design and epic hybrid music for licensing, and Q-Factory sound design has become the gold standard for movie trailer soundtracks. Their library is utilized by virtually every film studio and TV network for their trailers and promos.
West One Music was founded in 2002 as an independent production music company, with offices and production studios in 15 countries today. The addition of Q-Factory brings the company’s total distinct labels to 16, along with its thriving custom music division. Etoll will also become a contributor to the company, working together with its creative team in Los Angeles.
“I am beyond thrilled to be joining forces with a global powerhouse like West One Music,” said Etoll. “This move enhances the footprint of the Q-Factory catalog and continues the truly independent, music-first approach I’ve always lived by.”
“We are immensely proud to bring Robert and Q-Factory into our fold,” said West One Music global CEO Edwin Cox. “The music and sound design of Q-Factory is iconic and the production values are unsurpassed. Robert is a one-of-a-kind music creative and a true legend in the trailer production community. We look forward to a long and exciting creative partnership that will continue to deliver outstanding music and sound design to the world of entertainment and consumer marketing.”
