Loch Lyle Music Publishing & Muse Picholine Media

Independent publishing around town still thrives on one principle: songwriters need advocates who understand both the craft and the marketplace. Loch Lyle Music Publishing & Muse Picholine Media sits at the intersection of those needs, functioning as a conduit between writers and wider ears without leaning on corporate layers. This corner of the industry—publishing—can feel scattered; the challenge is keeping the pipeline smooth so creativity keeps flowing. Here, the address reads like an after-hours destination: 244 5th Ave #1728, tucked inside the landmark building across from Madison Square Park. It’s the kind of location that keeps planners and performers alike within a few blocks of rehearsal spaces, recording studios, and pick-up coffee shops. The suite number marks the door to a quieter floor, where rights, royalties, and contracts move between writers and industry contacts behind the scenes. When one side of the business needs a refresh, the other side often supplies the impulse. From sync placements to catalog valuations, the team moves between pitching cuts in film and handling paperwork for new releases. They register compositions internationally when necessary, negotiate mechanical licenses, and clear sample clearances—each step kept in the same system so nothing stalls at the tail end of a production schedule. Keeping that balance requires a clear desk, not just a clean one. Need a way in? Add this to your contacts: call 212-555-7515. Directions to the office are on the map right here.
