Archive for the ‘Best Offer’ Category

It is important to note that apart from a few countries in the world, all forms of music business contracts can be negotiated. Never view contract as absolutes; they are simply a stated offer towards a formal relationship and more often than not reflect the needs of the party issuing the agreement. In other words, if a record company sends you a contract, it is more likely to meet all their considered needs rather than yours. This is not to say that they did not consider you at all, but it means the contract would be more favourable toward them. So what are the secrets to successfully negotiating music contracts? What elements must be considered carefully before signing any contract?Money V Creativity: Most music business lawyers will agree that one of the aspects that can be used as leverage is the amount of creativity granted in relation to the monetary advance. Generally speaking, the more money you have as an advance, the less creative control you will have. Conversely the more creative control you have the less financial advance you will receive. One could also argue that the more money the record label gives in advance, the more they are committed to the project.However in some agreements, such as Licensing Deals, the advance could be the only money you will receive so one is better off getting as much of an advance as possible rather than looking forward to royalties that will never materialise. Equally important to mention is the “Most Favoured Nations” clause that could be used to obtain larger advances where possible. My approach is that whatever the amount of money you’re offered, ask for more!Term and Delivery:How long will the contract last and what are you required to deliver within that period? Unlike many seasoned artists, most newbies sign agreements without any real consideration for the future. This can turnout to be the worst mistake one could make in terms of one’s creative integrity and future remuneration.One should consider the following:
What am I prepared to give?
Where am I in my growth process?
When do I think I might desire to breakaway, have a family, etc?
How much are my services/talents worth?These elements can be vitally important to the career path of an artist and a great deal of planning must be in place for anyone wants to succeed in their business. Ideally try to be contracted as short as is possible or reasonable and deliver what is appropriate. Carefully check all contracts to avoid being drawn in for an overly extended timeframe and being compelled to deliver considerably more than you originally agreed to deliver. Additional Thoughts: In my opinion, a 3 Album Deal with Options for a new act or a 2 Album Deal with Options for a relatively known act are appropriate contract deals. The 3 Albums or 6 year Deal gives a new artist the time needed for growth while the 2 Albums Deal for the more established act is ideal to test any working relationship and to decide whether longer term commitments are necessary.

To listen to music or not listen to music can be a contentious element amongst runners. Many like to listen to music as a “distracting element” to enable a runner to zone out and “be in their own world” during a run, whereas those who do not listen to music like to “take it all in”. Here, the topic will deal with those not listening to music.For many runners, running is an event in which one wants to be cognizant of his or her surroundings. Not only can one navigate around traffic more if one can hear vehicles coming, but one can also hear the peculiarities of a run. Undoubtedly, if one runs enough, one will hear various comments directed towards them. Some are run, some are random, and some are motivating. Quite a few times I have received motivational comments from people while out on a run. I would not receive those if I wore my MP3 player for the run. A little thing like that can go a long way as someone else wants to urge you forward. On the other hand, if you happen to run under a train while one is rumbling along, you will meet a very loud, violent, and powerful force meeting your eardrums. But, it adds something to your run and distracts you for the moment (plus it gives you more motivation to pick up the pace temporarily).From wear the ambivalence comes as to whether or not to listen to music, is the “downtime” that comes with listening to music. When listening to music, you may have your absolute favorite song playing. But then what? The next song surely will not compete with your favorite song and your excitement is gone. That is from where the ambivalence comes. A few people do not listen to music because of ups and downs that comes from listening to a variety of songs. When the music is off, ostensibly the problem does not exist.If you listen to music while running, perhaps you want to give a music-less run a try. Although too many people who run without an MP3 playing may be snooty, running without music opens up a new realm to your runs. The little things one picks up during a run makes it that much more enjoyable.

My first injection of Extreme Metal Music was back in 1985, i was 13 and a Metallica – “Ride The Lighning” cassette crossed my paths (Yes back then that was considered Extreme). I remember being at home alone with my crappy old “Ghetto Blaster” (that ‘ate tapes’) and fascinated at the cool “Electric Chair” cover art, it was at that moment within the first 30 seconds of “Fight Fire with fire” that my life would no doubt be set down a new path and Extreme Death Metal Music would be my fate. I remember being blown-away and scared shitless at the same time. The shear aggression and speed of the music was unlike anything i had ever heard (remember this was 1984 and i was 13 and Def Leppard was about the heaviest i had ever heard) and it was that very song that forever changed my life (thanx James) and led me to investigate this style of music even more. Bands like Slayer, Venom, Possessed and Death became the metal music that “Got me thru the day”

Well, the year is now 2008 and even though Metallica’s “Ride The Lighning” is still one of my top 20 favorite albums of all time, Extreme Metal Music is like drugs, one is too many and a thousand is not enough. The need for faster, heavier, more brutal and intense music dosages becomes the addiction. In today’s world of Extreme Metal Music – Metallica would probably be considered choir boys.

I guess it’s time to talk about what this article is actually about… running an underground Death Metal Record Label. First off, running an underground death metal label like this usually means running it from your parents basement, or if your a grown man who just can’t seem to grow up, your running it from your own basement and are constantly having to remind your wife, “would you rather me be here at home with you wasting all our money, or at the strip clubs wasting all our money). Truth be told probably 90% of Death Metal Record Labels that exist do it for the pure love of the music and do it on top of working 40 – 50 hours a week doing something that actually makes money, and to those who continue to do it while investing their own money and risking their marriages and relationships i raise my Corona and “Cheers You!”… But that’s just what Extreme Metal does to people, there is a devotion to it, there is just this undeniable force that encapsulates you… it’s likebeing in a gang… a really large gang!

I work for a small record label CDN Records, a basement run 2 person operation managing over 2000 Extreme titles in the genres of Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Melodic Death metal, Grindcore, Goregrind, Black Metal, Thrash Metal and more. The other person involved again and actually the one who started the label, a grown man like myself in his late 30′s obsessed with metal music in it’s most extreme form and probably the biggest “Death” (the band) fan you will ever meet. He started the label over 15 years ago, originally called “Civilian Death Network”, but after 9-11 it was apparent that we needed to change the name, hence (CDN Records). The label started out mostly as a “Tape Trading” network trading various Death metal bands demos with other Death Metal music fans around the world, and back then without the internet and low-cost’s of producing cd’s the cost involved could bankrupt most people. Most of us doing this tape trading stuff usually spent every last extra penny we had, we begged borrowed and stole just so we could pay for postage.But with the advent of the internet and the ability to manufacture “CD’s” cheap the label was able to evolve into a full-blown record label, signing and releasingbands.

Currently we have over 15 of our own titles, and what we do is trade our titles with other Extreme Labels around the world which increases our distro catalogue. It’s a great system, and its probably the only form a music in the world (that i know of) that operates like this… again reminding me of the bond and devotion to Extreme Music us “Metalheads” have. It’s like there is no competition between all Underground metal labels, we work together to create an even larger network. Its and even better deal for alot of the bands in the Death Metal, Extreme Music genre. We have taken bands who would never have been able to get their music on a cd let alone shipped out and into the hands of metalheads around the world… and that’s a great feeling and what fuels us to keep going.

Although, we first do this for the love of Death Metal music, we definitely work very hard at trying to get “Death Metal Music” to pay the bills. How much better could it get? promoting the music you love and making a living do it…

Tips for staring your own Death Metal Record label:
1. Find a band that you really like and has already recorded their own full-length cd (This saves you money)
2. Sign the band to a simple distribution deal, you press 1000 copies and give the band a few hundred copies (most death metal bands will jump at the chance for this)
3. Get yourself a simple web site and the ability to sell your product online.
4. Spend countless hours surfing the internet looking for other small Extreme Death Metal labels… create a long list
5. Contact all the labels you found online and ask if they do “Trades”, usually trades are based on a point system you’ll figure that out quick.
6. Most labels will trade 3-5 copies to start, trade with 100 labels you now have 300-500 titles to add to your web sites online catalogue
7. Don not take more than 10 copies of any one title… 3-5 at most
8. Promote online, Promote Online, Promote online… forums, blogs, myspace etc etc.
9. Repeat steps 1 thru 7 once you have no more of the original 1000 cd’s you pressed, of the cd traded well press the same release, if you struggled
to get other labels to take it on trade, search for a new band and try again.
10. You will be very lucky to sell more than a few thousand copies of any 1 Extreme Death metal cd, Grindcore cd or Black Metal CD (unless you happy to get lucky enough to sign the next Cannibal Corpse or Cradle of Filth) release so don’t get frustrated, the key is to
build your online catalogue with 1000′s of titles to chose from and enjoy the fact that you are now promoting and selling 100′s of Extreme Metal bands.

Music lovers and enthusiasts have all the rights to learn their chosen musical instrument despite of their impairment, as long as such will not completely forbid them to play such. Various tips and instructional guides are available on the internet and some libraries that will give music teachers the resources to be effective in handling special learners. Let us say in the case of Andrea Boccelli, a great tenor and musician who was diagnosed with glaucoma and lost his sight at an early age of fourteen; if not for his music teacher, we might not hear his tranquil and heart warming voice. More so, he reached success in music because he had such self-motivation and certain love for music. And these had made it all possible. Generally speaking, special learners are regarded as those students, who either have cognitive, physical, mental or social abilities and disabilities. These groups of special individuals are faced with different learning challenges. However, through the professional assistance of music teachers and enthusiasts as well as effective and efficient music teachers resources, they are able to comprehend, adopt and adjust to such learning situations. Also, acquisition of skills and knowledge has been possible through these resources for music teachers. Great examples of music teachers resources are those from the Internet such as tips and inputs from various music teacher sites, personal experiences of the music lovers and experts themselves, other extensive techniques and methods of music teachers, and some findings from different music researches. When music teachers are in need of such reliable and effective resources, they may adopt any of those mentioned sources and make each a part of their music teaching strategies. Music teachers resources truly come in variation. You may actually choose from different available resources nowadays. However, you have to bear in mind that it takes a lot of analysis and discernment to find out which among those resources would be appropriate and effective for each special learner. Remember that as a music teacher, your role does not end in mere teaching music but most of all, in making them discover their talents and feel that they are treated as typical and average students. Though it may be quite difficult to deal with special learners, music teachers will then feel and realize that teaching them can be very rewarding. Your time, efforts and hard works will soon pay off especially if you have seen your learners succeed and unleash their music talents and inclinations. Furthermore, when these special learners tend to appreciate their music teachers, have made them their real mentors, and have considered them as their source of motivation and inspiration, these music educators can proudly say that being one has been a blessing, thus gives them such feelings of fulfillment and self-worth.

Reiki Music Explained – What Is the Best Music to Accompany Reiki Sessions

A complementary therapy growing in popularity today, reiki is a laying on of hands Japanese technique for stress reduction and healing based on the principle of humans being surrounded by an unseen life giving energy. In a reiki session, the client must be put in an open and receptive state to be able to accept the practitioners healing energies. An effective tool to achieve this is ambient music, and having the best reiki music for every client can spell a difference in every session.

Having an environment where the client can relax and meditate properly is important, and music plays a huge role in making that environment work for every reiki session. The criteria for the best reiki music in a session are that it can help the facilitator focus on working with healing energies and that it can help the client feel calm and relaxed throughout the whole process. Music in reiki sessions is important because, if using the right kind of music, the clients and the healers energies can tune with the melodys energy and can improve energy flow and reception. Also, choosing poor music for the sessions can result into blocked energy flow.

So what is the best reiki music one can get for a reiki session? The truth is that there is no solid answer to that question. Any clients definition of the best music is affected by his or her own preference and style, so it is up to the healer to decide which choice will work best for the session. Reiki specific soundtracks, melodies with reiki symbols incorporated through songs or chants, are available in the market. But other kinds of sound, like those for meditation, nature sounds, popular music and even the human voice can be used for the session.

But to conclude, there is no real best reiki music for all situations. As mentioned earlier, the right music for each person is individualized. In the end, it is the practitioners responsibility to determine which music available is the most effective and which can only be distracting in the road of healing and spiritual enlightenment.

Music listening has been a relaxing pass time for people since the beginning of human existence. In bygone years, people had to buy compact disks to get their music, recently, it is simple and convenient to not only listen to your favorite music for but you download it for your future listening pleasure. From a consumer perspective, this is quite convenient. However, from the point of view of the recording industry, this has created a large problem as sales have plummeted
Today, you can obain free music by accessing the internet and locating sites that allow you to listen and download the music of your choice. The internet is available just about everywhere. You will rarely find a person who does not use it. We all use it for different reasons. Not the least of which is to listen to music on internet radio. Some internet radio sites offer live streaming of music while others also feature free music download. Now, this presented a problem. The files associated with this music are copyright, and they are often disseminated without the express permission of their owner.

Who did not hear about the lawsuits filed by the Recording Industry Association of America or the RIAA? These case charges were filed against thousands of internet users from all walks of life. The purpose of this action is to help buttress declining sales by enforcing copyright laws. After realizing that sales continue to drop and that the efforts made did not create significant impact against internet users whom they sued one by one, the RIAA have tweaked their complaints a bit.
Some of these law suits are still proceeding, however, efforts are now focused in a different direction. Instead of going after each internet user are determined to have downloaded a music file, a letter of complaint will be sent to your internet service provider. This enables the enforcement of music copyright increasingly efficient. First, your ability to download music files is dependent on your internet connection hence once you are out of your internet service provider list, you will no longer be able to download files. Cooperating with internet service providers is an order of magnitude easier than pursuing individuals in court. This effort has enabled the RIAA to filter out common users from the list of illegal copyright violators. A significant proportion of this music is derived from an internet radio station.

Due to the fact that the RIAA efforts to halt music copyright infringement did not work well, the Supreme Court was not compelled to review this case. This decision has resulted in the RIAA taking a different tact. Instead of going after the people who download, they will only go after those users who are uploading more than a thousand files. The result of this strategy is that, if you download copyright music, you will not be charged, but if your then upload these files to a server for the use of others, they will pursue you in court.
Illegal music download is no doubt continuously killing the music industry. With the technological advancement of internet radio and music download stores, there has to be a clear definition of what music piracy is.

Read Music – Music Seems to Be More Important Today Than Ever Before!

Possibly because it taps into our emotions in a way that technology and science, which increasingly inhabit our lives, DO NOT.Then again, perhaps music simply offers an escape from tensions of an increasingly pressurized society.Too often, however, the repertory of the traditional theory programs strikes you as arcane, foreign (literally), and unrelated to the music that commands your day-to-day attention.This situation has been a long time brewing, and it often leads students to question the relevance of music theory to their personal musical goals.The result is a fundamental disconnect, and if students are not reachable, then they are not teachable.An adult piano lesson program should attempt to bridge that disconnect by engaging YOU on a familiar ground (though music that surrounds YOUR daily life) and leading YOU toward the body of art music that comprises your heritage.Part of this effort entails a recognition that popular music and jazz can be vehicles for conveying music of what traditional theory teaches and that apart from its own intrinsic merit that repertory can serve as a conduit to other musical styles.WHY MUSIC THEORY?Music has probably always come easily to you. I mean, you could always sing a Nursery Rhyme in tune when you were a child… you’re lucky!If it has, then you probably have difficulty understanding how utterly mysterious it can be to others, that can’t sing in tune.The fact is that the special mix of physical and mental attributes that translate into musical talent is a fit given to relatively few of the more than six billion inhabitants of this planet.It makes you a member of a special group that sees and hears in music the things most others do not. Your decision to further you study of music indicates your desire to express yourself creatively.MUSIC ENGAGES US PHYSICALLYMusic engages us physically (muscle memory and coordination are necessary to sing or to play an instrument) and mentally (we read music, we memorize it – we feel it).Music theory aims to deepen our mental involvement. That’s necessary because to communicate all that YOU hear and FEEL in music, YOU need to understand it on may levels. A deeper and broader understanding will make you a more effective player.MUSIC ENGAGES US EMOTIONALLYJust remember, that human emotions are translated into musical motion. Our bodies express these internal feelings through posture, gestures, and movements of various kinds.Some are automatic, spontaneous and others are the result of thought or will.What is the first instrument that must be trained in music?The human body!
