Nothing brings the past to life better than music.

A Life in Music is a special service from Ictus Media, allowing you to create a lasting record of a loved one’s life through the music that means the most to them.

The result is a beautiful souvenir: memories preserved on a unique, personalised vinyl album or CD, that can be shared with family members and kept for future generations.

Our interviewers are award-winning former BBC journalists, and every A Life In Music project is completed to international broadcasting standards.

We love making these programmes and take the responsibility of recording someone’s life story extremely seriously.

Each Life In Music session begins with a relaxed and sensitive interview with an Ictus host. They guide your family member through a lifetime of memories, interweaved with a choice of eight favourite records.

After the interview, we blend interview and music to create something that feels like a personalized radio show.

The finished programme can be shared with the rest of the family- and kept for future generations.

A Life In Music service is a beautiful gift for big birthdays, anniversaries or any occasion for reflection.

Prices (including interview, editing and album production) start at £1,800.

“What an absolute delight to be interviewed, and to have a chance to talk about some of my very favourite music. A wonderful experience” - Phillida Gili, London
