Listen to classical music !

Listening to classical music is an art. It requires close and accurate attention, sympathy, imagination and genuine culture. Listening to classical music is an art of high degree. Many derive exquisite enjoyment from it, for classical music is potent and universal in its appeal. To listen intelligently to classical music is an accomplishment few have acquired. Those who are fortunate enough to have been surrounded from childhood up by the choicest gems of the tonal language, and whose minds are of the deceptive order, will insensibly attain a refinement of taste and delicacy of perception no learned dissertation on classical music could afford. An acquaintance with form as the manifestation of law is essential to an intelligent hearing of classical music. The listener should have at least a rudimentary knowledge of classical musical construction from the simplest ballad to the most complex symphony. Having this knowledge it will be possible to receive undisturbed the impressions music has to give, and to distinguish the trivial and commonplace from the noble and beautiful. Classical music is far beyond words, and in attempting to translate it into these we miss its musical meaning, the best that is in it.

Even a well-cultivated ear and taste may often be baffled by the intricacies of a fugue, symphony or other great work of musical art heard for the first time.

The best listener beyond the pale of genius will at times feel as one astray in a labyrinth of beauty to which for the moment no clue appears.

A single representation will rarely suffice to reveal the

full worth of a masterpiece of classical music. By hearing it often, by admitting it, or some reproduction of it, to our own fireside, we will become familiar with its contents and learn truly to know it.

The oftener good classical music is heard the more completely it will be appreciated. Therefore, they listen best to music who hear the best continually. The assertion is often heard that a person must be educated up to an enjoyment of high class music. Certainly, one who has heard nothing else must be educated down to an enjoyment of ragtime, with its crude rhythms.

Beyond knowledge comes the intuitive feeling which is enriched by knowledge. Through it we may feel the breath of life, the spiritual appeal, which belongs to every great work of art and which must forever remain inexplicable.

Many are content to listen to classical music for the mere sensuous impression it creates as it wraps itself about the inner being, lulling a perturbed spirit to rest, or awakening longing and aspiration, joy and sadness, according to the nature of the music and the hearer’s mood. Some even take pleasure in formulating into words the sensations evoked by the ebb and flow of the tonal waves, and fancy they are thus deriving

intellectual profit from music.

The idea so largely accepted that classical music is an unfathomable mystery, like all half truths has wrought much mischief, and has greatly retarded musical progress in social life. Behind the Divine Art, as behind

Religion, lies the inscrutable mystery of Life, and in both there is a

Holy of Holies only the consecrated may enter. Before the portals of

this are reached there is a broad, fertile field for intellectual

activity that all may work to advantage, preparing the way to the inner

sanctuary.

How Using a Music Licensing Company Can Benefit Your Brand & Business

Think of all the ways we encounter music in the course of a day. The most obvious are the radio, our own CDs and mp3s. But you are also hearing a steady stream of music in commercials, in the background of radio ads, while on hold during a call to the bank, from piped in music while relaxing in restaurants and when a local band plays cover songs Friday night at your favorite club.

In each of those cases, the songwriter is earning licensing fees. In addition to the revenue such deals bring in, they also extend and strengthen your musical brand by exposing more people to your music and by creating a connection between your music and the product or service being promoted.

While it’s possible to promote your own music for licensing, it’s more efficient to hire a company that specializes in music licensing. BMI, SESAC and ASCAP are the three largest and represent the majority of established, well-known acts. But for an unknown songwriter or one just beginning to enjoy success, a smaller boutique company can offer more one-on-one time to develop a personalized business plan targeting the best way to license your music.

Remember: there is a difference between a music licensing company and a music library. The latter merely adds your music to a giant catalogue database for prospective users to peruse. A license company proactively goes out and pitches your songs specifically.  As such, they take a larger fee but it is a case of getting what you pay for.

The most lucrative licenses are those used within the entertainment industry, including TV commercials, movie trailers, in TV episodes and on film soundtracks. Video games also offer a great opportunity for placement. But it’s important to match your music with the product. If you compose fusion jazz, odds are WOW won’t be the best match. But it may work perfectly for dinner club radio commercial.

As with any potential business partner, do your homework. Check to see if they have pending lawsuits for non-payment. Try to talk to others signed with the company. Google them. And make sure you know exactly wwhat you are signing whenever entering into a contract.

Lastly, never, ever pay any “fees” up front. Reputable music licensing companies work on commission – they don’t make money until you do. If any company tells you otherwise, walk away.

Marketing Creates Value, Wine And Music Provide The Evidence

In their bones sales-oriented entrepreneurs believe that marketing is a cost centre. Some might quote Peter Drucker in support, “Nothing happens in a business until somebody sells something.” Financially-oriented entrepreneurs “know” that marketing is a cost centre best placed on a starvation diet along the way to zero overhead growth. Technically-oriented entrepreneurs are often not even sure of the value of the sales function. After all, sales people are coin operated, the antithesis of devotees of product beauty and elegance. Build it and they will come is the techie’s belief and sometimes that does happen, for a while. In most techies eyes, marketing is management stuff: sales is also redolent of management. Technically-oriented entrepreneurs might also quote Drucker in support, “(M)ost of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to work.” Aside from alleviating entrepreneurs’ angst about marketing and sales by the consumption of wine and enjoyment of music, how else can wine and music help entrepreneurs succeed, particularly new entrants?

Wine

Useful and usable empirical evidence comes from an experiment on wine tasting undertaken by scientists at CalTech and Stanford. People were given the same wine but some were told that it cost .00 a bottle and others up to .00. The value the subjects placed on the wine, measured as “tasting good”, was recorded in conjunction with a scan of their “brain waves”. When expectations were not set, the cheapest wine got the highest ratings. When expectations were set, the higher the price, the better the taste. The research supports the view that, “people experience reality not the way it is physically (objectively), but as they expect it to be.” The subjects’ brains made the wine taste better, not their taste buds. A financially-oriented person might assert that, the brain “cooks the books” in line with expectations.

In another experiment Frederic Brochet at the Universite of Bordeaux gave 54 experienced wine tasters red and white wine. They described each with the standard set of descriptions for the colour. The red was “jammy” and full of “crushed fruit”. The white tasted of lemon, peaches and honey. Next day the experts were given two red wines. In fact, one was the white with red colouring added. The peaches and honey became “black current”. Brochet’s experiment provides evidence that the customer experience is, “the end result of an elaborate interpretive process, in which our brain parses our sensations based upon our expectations. If we think a certain brand is better than we will interpret our senses to preserve that belief.” “Such distortions are a fundamental feature of the human brain.” It is a fact based upon hard evidence.

Music

The musician, a nondescript man wearing a baseball cap removed his violin from its case, seeded it with a few bucks and started to play classical music in the subway entrance. A thousand and seventy people passed by. Twenty seven pitched in a total of plus change with one person giving .00 – not quite 20% of the total. An expert who had known what was to transpire had forecast that 75 to 100 people of a 1,000 would stop and give a total of 0. The expert knew that three days before this same musician playing the same instrument, a .5 million dollar Stradivarius, had commanded 0 a seat for so-so seats in Boston’s Symphony Hall. Two weeks after his appearance in the subway, out of respect for the quality of the musicianship, an audience stifled their coughs until pauses occurred in Joshua Bell’s playing. The audience was in Bethesda MD., just a few miles north of the subway station.

The person in the subway who threw in .00 was a trained classical musician and only he plus another musician knew that what they heard was something special. Yet, though one of them is a fan of Joshua Bell, even he did not recognize the violinist during the entire six minutes he stopped to listen on his way to work that morning.

Our Take

The music story shows that product beauty in itself can get a sale or two. Product alone does not get recognized or appreciated by enough people to create a large enough customer base to generate enough money to support a fast growing business. Both the wine and music stories confirm that people don’t pay based upon the product’s technical merits. This is a fundamental fact of customer behaviour with which a new entrant has to cope. It is not just a pitch by a marketer raiding your scarce cash. Odd that the connection is not made with the well known phrase, nobody gets fired, etc.

The stories also make clear that a common engineering approach to pricing, mark up costs by a factor large enough to make a profit provides only a hit or miss basis for a pricing policy. It has no anchor in reality. People pay relative to the value they perceive as customers, not what it costs the producer. The wine story shows that by setting price expectations independent of technical product quality, marketing works with a fundamental fact of human behaviour to establish individual expectations about value and hence selling prices and margins. The music story shows that creating physical context also sets expectations about the product’s value to the customer, in this case by more than 20 to 1.

Think about what might have happened had the subway context not been no name. What would have happened had Bell been wearing a tux? If advertising had been used to tell people it was Joshua Bell? How many people would have stopped if there had also been a video showing the world famous Joshua Bell playing his multimillion dollar Strad in Boston? What sum would the 1,070 passersby have thrown into the violin case? Replay the scene but assume there had been a TV ad or a news story the day before the event and then answer the questions again.

We suggest an extension to Drucker’s first comment so it becomes, “Nothing happens in a business until someone sells something but nothing good happens unless the sales function is led by marketing.”

Great marketing works by setting favourable expectations about your product and business amongst prospects and customers. A great sales machine captures the targeted portion of the additional value created by marketing. In sum, your business gets higher gross margins. Marketing clearly and directly contributes to the overarching objective of a business, wealth creation generated from a growing positive cash flow.

Failure to understand the distinct but complementary roles of marketing and sales is rife amongst entrepreneurs. They often have sales and marketing as a single expense category on their income statement! This intellectual failure is akin to failing to distinguish between labour and materials. Simply put, the coin-operated salespeople are responsible for getting the best price possible at the client’s premises within the limits set by marketing and competition.

Because marketing creates value by creating a favourable context for prices, for example, positioning the product in prospects’ minds as a unique category and thus worthy of a higher selling price or shutting out competition, there is no link to the cost of production and sales. Because there is no automatic rule that says costs are less than the selling price, marking up costs to establish a selling price amounts to the equivalent of looking in the mirror. It is a special form of business lunacy to say you must pay this so I can make a profit. Governments and monopolies successfully get away with a cost-based approach to securing their revenues. Entrepreneurs do not.

Only marketing-led firms generate enough wealth to be able to afford to credibly offer competitive returns to early stage investors and to generate wealth for entrepreneurs. This is why Acorn describes its equity product for high growth rate businesses as Marketing-Led Sales-Driven Equity™.

Wine and music do indeed provide the necessary evidence that while pleasure awaits those who orchestrate marketing and sales, the duo provide only solace for those who do not.

Distributors: How To Get ‘em Begging For Your Music

Distributors: How to Get ‘Em Begging for Your Music
By Kenny Love

There are few things more satisfying than having a ready market, client, customer or buyer strongly interested in your business, product or service.

But, in order to get that interest, your business, product or service must not only be considered a hot commodity by the end user, but it must also have heavy buyer demand.

And, in the marketing and distribution of music releases, it goes without saying that one of the most important elements of music’s commercial success is distribution, in successfully moving music via sales.

Distribution is important because, without it, your sales will be very limited and you won’t make much money. Alternatively, with it, every aspect of your life and career can be dramatically enhanced and, particularly, financially.

But for independent musicians, distribution has long served as a, sort of, curse for quite some time in the sense that it has largely evaded them.

Online distribution is great, but what about consumers who expect to find your music in their neighborhood music stores after hearing it on their area radio stations, reading about it in their area newspapers, or hearing it in their nightclubs?

More importantly, after hearing it via one of these media, what is their perspective of you as an artist when they fail to find it in retail stores?

One way to eliminate this faltering scenario for your next release is to ‘get the drop’, so to speak, on distributors and manipulate your desired result with them well before they know what hit ‘em.

Consider this…

Many artists believe that the number of sales is the most important aspect that makes distributors sit up and take notice, but that is not necessarily so. Even though sales are very important, distributors place far more emphasis and value on the frequency of those same sales.

In other words, how often your music sells out of retail stores, and how often those stores place re-orders for your music, weighs much more in your favor.

It is the element of “selling out” at retail that makes distributors do double takes, in terms of their acquiring an interest in picking up and including your product in their distributor line.

So, how do you do that…how do you make that happen?

Here is one way…

Whether you reside in a metropolitan area, or rural area, select ten retailers, major chain or independent, that are “Indie” friendly, and will allow you to consign product to their stores.

As I’ve stated in previous articles, limit your number of units to five per store (no more) per 30-day period.

Get any promotion and publicity on radio, in print, on cable, and otherwise, going to drive consumers to stores to purchase your music.

On your website, be sure to list all ten stores, along with their complete contact information, along with the store telephone numbers, websites and email addresses. This is also a good thing to do because you can provide distributors with a direct contact to those retailers for sales verification.

For your area radio stations that air your music format, get in touch with the specialty and mix show producers. Then, ask them to consider you for an interview on their shows, as well as their consideration in adding your music to their playlist.

For your local cable companies, do the same by finding locally hosted video shows that may allow you to come on as a guest or allow you to guest-host the show as a local celebrity. And, if you have a video, by all means, entice them to add it to their playlist.

For local print media, naturally, get a press release to them that addresses your music and request their consideration of a feature interview or music review. But, also include the list of stores in your news release where your music can be purchased.

If you are performing live in your local area, even though you may sell your music at your gigs, be sure to also announce that your music is in area stores, and that the audience can get the list of stores from your website.

Use any additional promotion and publicity efforts that you can think of to further drive local consumers to local retailers. By doing so, you will assuredly create local store demand for your product with repeat retail orders.

When your product begins its “re-order” phase, this will signal a demand for your product. And, since radio is in constant touch with retailers as to what is selling, retailers will inform radio of your demand.

When this cycle has been in effect for a number of weeks, and as you now have documented sales of re-orders, distributors are going to take your music far more serious than if you were simply approaching them without any sales history.

Your re-orders will indicate strong consumer interest in your music, as well as pique distributors’ own business interest. Their assumption will be that, based on your local sales interest, this result would only be magnified successfully on regional, national and international levels.

Actually, if your re-orders are at a certain frequency, it is very likely that some distributors will discover your sales results and approach you first.

Warner Music still to sign a deal with YouTube

Warner Music Group, the world’s third largest music company, is still in talks with video sharing site YouTube to license its artists’ music videos even after all its major rivals have renewed their deals.

EMI Music, the smallest of the big four music labels, quietly renewed its deal with YouTube in February after Sony Music Entertainment and ahead of Vivendi’s Universal Music Group. Universal Music renewed its deal with YouTube and announced a wider plan to partner with YouTube to create a stand-alone music video website called Vevo. The site is expected to be launched later this year.

Warner Music, which ironically was the first major music company to sign a deal with YouTube, is now the lone hold-out from renewing its partnership with the hugely popular website.

Videos from Warner artists like Madonna and Green Day were yanked off YouTube last December after both sides were unable to agree on financial terms for the licensing rights.

Two people familiar with the talks between Warner Music and YouTube said while talks are still ongoing no imminent announcements are expected.

As chief executive of the only publicly traded major music company, Warner Music’s Edgar Bronfman is keen to improve terms of his previous deal with YouTube. He is also faced with a particularly difficult music market which has seen tumbling CD sales and slowing digital music growth.

YouTube has been facing calls from various facets of the music industry in the last year all demanding an increase in licensing fees. This spring it was forced to block all music videos to British users after it was unable to reach a rights deal with the main UK songwriters’ collection society.

The video site, which is owned by search giant Google Inc, has more than 100 million visitors every month in the United States alone and is just as popular in many other countries. Music industry insiders acknowledge that YouTube is now catching up with radio and music television as one of the most important music discovery tools for fans.

YouTube has been under pressure from Google investors who are keen for the website to start making a meaningful contribution to its parent’s bottom line.

The company has started to counter analysts’ estimates that YouTube is losing millions of dollars a year by streaming tens of millions of videos for free everyday.

On Monday YouTube public relations executives posted a blog claiming to be “myth-busters” about the site, including that only 3-5 percent of the videos on YouTube are monetized through advertising. The post described that statistic as “old and wrong.”

“Monetized views have more than tripled in the past year, as we’re adding partner content very quickly and doing a better job of promoting their videos across the site,” the post said.

Google executives said last week that YouTube is on the path to profitability in the near future.

70s Soul Music The Sound of Experience

Many people sometimes wonder why so many (but not all) of the world’s most significant musicians and singers have gotten their start in the United States. It’s not just that the U.S. culture can be said to glorify entertainment and celebrity over everything else, and it’s not just because everyone wants to be an American. Many music history experts find that so much music comes from the U.S. simply because it is a diverse country, and because its people represent a plethora of significant life experiences that can’t be matched by any other nation’s population. The entire genre of 70′s soul music can be credited as an expression of the experiences of black Americans.

If you’ve ever wondered what 70′s soul music was really all about, you have to take a little lesson in African-American history. As descendents of those Africans that had been brought to America as slaves and servants, the African musicians must deal with an ongoing internal struggle that often plays itself out in their music. Proud of being American, yet indignant at the way their people were treated for far too long in that country, black artists find a need to deal with their emotions in song; this is precisely why their music has so much “soul.”

Defined as a genre that combines elements of the boisterous gospel sound and the emotional vibe of rhythm and blues, there can be no doubt that 70′s soul music was and is the sound of the African-American experience. Soul music musicians were known for their flamboyant style of dress, their spirited handclapping during songs, and their funky dance moves. Although it had gospel roots, the genre became completely secularized, despite the fact that it still mimicked the “call and response” aspect of traditional African-American choir music.

It’s common for most radio stations to play 70′s soul music as “oldies” or “classics” but it’s important to realize that this music was very different from a lot of the hair bands and rock that were coming out over the radio waves at the time. If you look for lists of popular soul music artists are records online, you’re likely to find them mixed in with other genres of music. This is an example of the blended background that influenced soul music and encouraged people of all nationalities and races to become engaged with its underlying message: survival and celebration about life, and love and the ongoing struggle.

Since 2000 Russell has been involved online with his various musical interests, one of which is Rare Northern Soul. Whether its Tamla Motown, Oldies Soul, Crossover, Modern, 45s, 12″ and LPs. Russell searches out and writes about the different resources available online for anyone looking to further their passion for Northern Soul.

Cutting Out The Middle Man; Be Your Own Music Publisher Feb 2

Most performers are more than happy to hand off the business end of music to someone else. But the more you hand off, the less money you stand to make and the less control over your work you are likely to have. One way to retain revenue and increase control is to cut out the middle man and become your own music producer. The first step, though, is to make sure you understand what a music publisher does.

Music publishers have been around longer than records. In fact, it can be traced back to the 15th century.  Composers relied on publishers to sell the sheet music of their songs. As the music industry expanded with the arrival of the radio and phonograph, the role of the publisher also expanded. Currently, the main function of a music publisher it to administer song licensing and to track and collect royalties.

So act as your own music publisher, you need an in-depth knowledge into the different types of royalties can be collected. Mechanical Royalties initially meant anytime a record was played on any mechanical device, such as a jukebox or even a music box. The most common mechanical royalty came from records. Now the classification includes songs reproduced on CDs, audiocassettes and other devices sold on a per-unit basis.

There are also synchronization licenses which are collected any time a song is paired with a visual image such as in film or a video. Transcription licenses come when a song is used in a radio commercial. Print licenses for sheet music may be less common but many artists now publish their songs in books which also falls under a print license.
Even for professional music publishing companies, collecting money from foreign countries can be a crap shoot. Laws differ country to country regarding royalties so it is a common practice to enlist of foreign music publisher to administer your licenses in that country in exchange for a fee that averages about 20%.

If you feel you have the time and commitment to administer your own music publishing, you need to set up a company. After selecting an available name for your company, you need to apply for a publishing license from one of the performance licensing companies (ASCAP, BMI or SESAC) which will require an application fee. Once they accept your application, register your business, use your DBA papers (Doing Business As) to open a bank account and you are set to start publishing your own music.

Home Music Server – Your Answer To Easy Access, Data Protection and Convenient Online Backup

A home music server can be the answer you are looking for when it comes to removing the frustration of technology from enjoying your digital music libraries.

There are many ways of accumulating your favorite songs in iTunes or MP3 format; you can buy through the iTunes store, Amazon MP3′s, rip your own CD’s to MP3 or maybe you have even converted old vinyl albums to MP3.

Have you figured out how to store your music so that:

You would simply turn on the radio and listen.

But that is not reality. You buy digital music online and an expensive player because you want to hear your music when you want it. With a home music server you can do that.
