March 11, 2013 March 11, 2013 ProTools is the new guitar.
We’re in the age of production. –
Almost everyone’s participating!
Live concerts, the recording process, the number of “production” educational programs, electronic music, and much more.
Computers are shaping the future, innovation, culture, art, and more much in the same way rock and roll once did. If you’re a part of the youth, you want…
March 7, 2013 “Imagine being English for over two years and describing where you went to school and the sort of food you eat and what the roads are like even though you’ve never been here.”
Jeanie Finlay suggested in an interview about her upcoming film The Great Hip Hop Hoax. While this seems like a completely ridiculous and impossible idea, that’s precisely what Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd of Dundee, Scotland did.
March 6, 2013 I just read an article on Marketing Prof’s about a technique that will make it easier for us musicians to get new and existing fans to like, share or buy more of our music and merch.
March 6, 2013 Cover Me is a “Behind the Music” series based in Austin, Texas. It will feature a group of musicians and singers collectively known as “The Cover Kings”. The show is currently running a campaign on Kickstarter.com and hunting for talent at SXSW 2013.
March 5, 2013 If you’re an artist waiting to be “discovered” or hoping to be given a record deal based on your perceived talent or the “uniqueness” of your sound, it’s time to educate yourself on the basics of the music business. The belief that major labels are LOOKING to sign new artists because of their talent is very far from the truth, and the sooner a person who desires to be an entertainer learns this, the better.
Music Industry, music business | tagged music business, success March 5, 2013 For some reason, I’ve been getting a lot of emails this week from artists asking me to sponsor them directly. I’m guessing it’s a combination of me writing about the subject and laziness where they don’t realize that I don’t provide those services directly, I simply provide tools for artists to aid them in that area.
March 4, 2013 In the last decade, the music industry has seen a lot of changes, and with these changes come new and ever-changing obstacles that we, as independent musicians, need to adapt to.
Any artist who has been serious about progressing his or her career for a certain length of time will have sat in enough seminars and read enough books to have heard the old adage that you have to think of your music as a product if you want to make money from it. As artists we are often terribly pained to try to place monetary value on our creations, let alone remove ourselves emotionally from them enough to think of them as merely items for sale, yet in today’s industry even this concept seems to be changing.
March 4, 2013 I published an article last year on copyright and its evils. Both the title and tone were deliberately provocative for a reason – I argued against copyright from moral not utilitarian grounds. That is, I attacked head-on the fundamental injustice of copyright laws, rather than quibble about how they can be tamed and made “fairer”, as most pro-freedom advocates do.
The article was picked up by many websites. Many objections – some sensible, some just angry – came in from readers. I address some of these objections below.
March 2, 2013 DEFOX RECORDS & HEART OF STEEL RECORDS are proud to announce the record deal with guitar wizard LUCA ZAMBERLIN.
March 2, 2013 defox records, dvlgator bureau February 28, 2013 The Brand Review is a bi-weekly web-series I’ll be hosting that critiques and analyzes recording artists’ overall brand package, brand partnerships, endorsement deals, lifestyle, and more.
Branding | tagged artist branding, big sean, branding, calid b, fly union, the brand review February 28, 2013 I am an Rdio premium subscriber (switched from Spotify recently), I also use SoundCloud a lot and… I still have to buy music from iTunes. It’s not that I like to own stuff but just sometimes it’s the only way to listen to what I want, like the recent release of Ludovico Einaudi, “In a Time Lapse” (which I highly recommend by the way).
Yes, “In a Time Lapse” is available on Spotify, still there is a lot of stuff which is not on Spotify but, for example, on SoundCloud. But that makes me think that there is some cool music which doesn’t hit SoundCloud and so on…
February 27, 2013 Music Booking Platform Revolutionizes Outdated Processes
Muzeek and its “book button” take on paper trails, wasted time and green M&M’s
