Q::
First off, I would like to thank you for sharing your track,
Disposable Moments with our community. What can you share
with us?
What
I would like to share is that I am currently an independent
artist, based in San Francisco, California, and I am interested
in finding a label(s) who are interested in my work. My
forte lies within the realm of electronica, but is not limited
to any particular genre within that realm. My influences
range from Meat Beat Manifesto, to Depeche Mode, Orbital,
Kruder and Dorfmeister, Soulstice, Baby Ford, Duran Duran,
and 80's music in general as well as many others.
Q::
What is your mission?
My mission
is to sign a record deal with a label and in the process
get my music into as many feature films and multi-media
projects as possible. Future plans include building my own
recording studio and someday having the ability to offer
my services to young aspiring musicians who can't afford
the music business but want a creative outlet.
Q::
What part of southern Cal are you located in?
I was
born in Texas, but I've lived in San Francisco, CA. for
the past 8 years.
Q::
How much, and how would you like to be compensated for someone
using a work like Disposable Moments on their web site?
Hhhmmm.....It
honestly all depends on the client. I once charged SONY
$1000 for a 30-second jingle for television, but I charged
a video company $150 for music for a toy convention. I'd
say in this case $150 per song, per website should be fine.
It would be nice to sign a contract with these companies
saying I would be the exclusive "go to guy" when and if
they needed new material..
Q::
How would that work? What if another company said they would
like to use the same score on their site or multimedia presentation?
The
easiest way is to simply "lend" or "license" my song(s)
to these companies for a fee. I still own the song(s) and
can do whatever I like with them including lending the song
to another company for use in the same way. If a company
loves my song so much and they want to use it as sort of
a trademark (if you will), then there's the option of signing
a contract saying they own the exclusive rights to the song
and in that case no other company can use it in any way.
Even then, I'm still the copyright holder, and getting exclusive
rights to a song means the fee goes up. Any of these scenarios
can be modified to suit everyone's needs of course.
