Interested in licensing my music?
I’ve created a dedicated licensing page featuring a curated sampler, genre playlists, and information designed to help music supervisors, publishers, and production companies quickly explore my catalog.
If you’re new to my music, the Featured Licensing Sampler is the best place to begin:
New Releases
Some of my most recent pieces, ranging through different genres.
Playlists
Rather than organizing everything by release date, I’ve grouped the catalog into playlists that reflect different moods and styles.
- Contemporary Classical
Contemporary chamber music, piano works, and formally structured compositions that blend classical tradition with a modern voice. Ideal for reflective drama, historical programming, documentary, and emotionally nuanced storytelling. - Atmospheric / Cinematic
Thoughtful instrumental music for documentary, drama, travel programming, and visual storytelling. These pieces create atmosphere and emotional depth while leaving space for the story to unfold. - Americana, Folk and Blues
Roots-inspired instrumentals drawing from Americana, folk, blues, and acoustic traditions. Warm, authentic, and character-driven music well suited for travel, rural settings, human stories, and everyday moments. - Rock and Alternative Instrumentals
Energetic instrumental rock with memorable hooks, groove, and attitude. A versatile collection for sports, lifestyle programming, action, light comedy, and contemporary visual media. - Songs
A collection of original songs spanning multiple styles. Many were born from a two-year creative partnership with lyricist David Hassler, who crafted lyrics for Phil’s original compositions, creating songs that neither would have written alone.
