The Producer's Orchestra

MUSA isn't a venue.
We're a scoring partner.

From the first email to your final stems, you work with one team: experienced engineers, an Golden Globe-credited orchestra, conductors who've worked with Desplat and Zimmer, and a producer (Petr Pycha) who has run hundreds of sessions and seen every problem you'll ever encounter — before you do.

Location Advantage

Prague Sound.
Composer Logic.

Prague has been the secret weapon of film composers since the 1990s. Goldsmith, Legrand, Desplat, Portman, Yared — all chose it.

01

The Sound

Over 25 years of recording the world's best film scores have built a uniquely cinematic acoustic culture. The players understand the specific demands, emotional arcs, and tone required for media scoring.

02

The Structure

100% buyout. No residuals. No union complexity. Simple contracts, total IP ownership in perpetuity.

03

The City

Direct flights from 70+ cities. Beautiful hotels. Your producer can fly in for the day and be home for dinner.

"Since 2007, the FILMharmonic Orchestra of Prague has been an essential part of my musical journey. After five albums together, a video game soundtrack, and countless other projects, I can confidently say they are my first choice for any project that demands excellence, versatility, and artistic commitment."

Christos Antoniou

Composer & Guitarist, Septicflesh

"I've been working with Petr Pycha and MUSA for 22 years now, and I can honestly say that I have always walked away extremely happy with the quality of musicians, studios, engineers, and the level of customer service. Petr and his team 'get it.' Petr strives to make the process easy, seamless, and as transparent as possible, and I recommend Petr or MUSA with the highest personal endorsement."

Darren Fung

Film & Television Composer

"Coming to Prague to record with MUSA is an experience every composer should have. The players are incredibly responsive, and Petr handles the logistics so smoothly you forget you're halfway across the world."
