I just had a rather odd phone call.
Riiinng
"Hello?"
"Hello?" Foreign accent. Caller ID said "Farias Pro" at 818-909-2262.
"Yes, hello?"
"Yes, is this... museworld productions?"
"Uh, yes, yes this is Museworld Productions." No one has ever called me for Museworld before.
"Yes, I am calling to inquire about ringtone licensing for one of your songs."
"Oh, really. Which song?"
"I Will Survive."
"Oh, you mean As One?" Odd, because I had just started working on a piano/voice arrangement of it and had just hit a breakthrough. Very strange.
"Yes. I am calling to inquire about ringtone licensing."
"That's possible. Can I ask who you're calling on behalf of?" She mentioned Farias, it was meaningless to me. "Well, let me give you a little more information. I'm Curt, I wrote the song. Did you find this off of the website? It's a personal website of mine." She sounded a little confused. "Oh, then did you find it off of ASCAP?"
"ASCAP, yes."
"Have you heard the song?"
"No, no I haven't. But your name is Curt? Curt Siffert? Thank you for that."
"Sure. Are you calling on behalf of an organization?"
"No, I am calling on behalf of my boss, Gustav (something). It's for a new company."
"Oh, I see. Well, licensing is a possibility. What did you have in mind?"
"Well, I am just calling to inquire about who to talk to about licensing. I have that information now, your name and number. So let me get some details together and we will call you back. Thank you so much for your time!"
"You're welcome."
No idea what that was all about.
