Give reception, the open floor, and your break-out rooms a distinct scene. Expertly curated to boost productivity, synced to the natural rhythm of the workday, and 100% compliant.
An open floor without sound design defaults to overheard calls, keyboard clatter, and the loudest conversation in the room. The right soundtrack supports focus and signals a considered culture.

Receipts
Instrumental music protects focus.
Cognitive performance research shows low-lyric, moderate-tempo music at moderate volume supports sustained attention on repetitive and analytical tasks, while high-lyric or high-volume tracks measurably hurt it.

Don't get caught
Stop playing Spotify in reception.
Consumer streaming is not licensed for commercial venues. Any office open to clients or hosting events is exposed. "We didn't know" is not a defense.
The exposure
Spotify's consumer terms explicitly prohibit commercial use. Any office streaming it through shared speakers is in violation, business account or not.
The fine
Public-performance infringement carries statutory damages up to $150,000 per work under U.S. Copyright Act §504(c).
The fix
Curator Now includes all four PROs, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, in every plan. No negotiations, no separate fees, no exposure.

Works with your AV setup.
No rip-and-replace. Browser-based for spaces without dedicated AV, or native integration with Sonos, Q-SYS, Marshall, and Epicentre for full multi-zone control.
Yes, when tuned correctly. Instrumental, low-lyric music at moderate volume supports sustained focus, while the wrong genre or volume can measurably hurt concentration and cognitive performance.
Do offices need a music license?+
Yes, if the space is open to clients, visitors, or functions as a shared commercial environment. Public performance of music requires licensing from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR.
Can open floor and focus rooms play different music?+
Yes. Curator Now runs independent zones so open floor, focus rooms, and reception can each have their own scene, managed from one dashboard.
How does dayparting work for an office day?+
Set a schedule once: energizing morning arrival, low-lyric focus blocks through the core work day, and a calmer wind-down late afternoon. Curator Now handles every transition automatically.
Can a coworking or multi-site company manage every location centrally?+
Yes. Enterprise plans include a fleet dashboard for pushing scenes and schedule changes across every location from a single login, keeping culture and brand sound consistent everywhere.
