Mechanical Rights Administration
M. William Krasilovsky and Sidney Shemel write, "The copyright owner owns the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute to the public copyrighted musical material on phonorecords which includes compact discs, tapes, and any other material object in which sounds other than those accompanying motion pictures and other audiovisual works are fixed." (2003. Krasilovsky and Shemel)
The problem that has existed in the music industry for decades is that musicians and their copyrighted works have found great difficulty in garnering recognition from music supervisors, music managers, advertising agencies, and yes, event managers. These are the people in the industry that decide on music for television commercials, movies, multimedia placements, and special events performances (synchronization licensing). We make it easy for you, the songwriter/composer, to get access to these type of industry professionals. |
A & R
Artist & Repertoire: A dead practice that just about every record label used to groom their signed artists for greatness. Nowadays, A&R is the practice of making certain that recording artists, in particularly independent recording artists, are ready to submit their DIGITAL recordings to terrestrial and internet radio station directors and owners, event promoters (for live performance), and music managers for synchronization opportunities.
Our clients can release their digital singles, EPs, and albums through our digital music distribution channels. We maintain competitive release prices to make it easy for you to get your music to your audience. We have agreements with 40+ digital distributors and can have your music available to the public within four days of submission! When you sign with us, we'll keep you straight! |
