Welcome to Episode 3 of the Working Muso podcast.
This week we're all about self publishing with an interview with Rob Cumberland of http://www.bemuso.com/. He's created this website over a number of years and amassed a huge amount of information on the music industry in general, and self publishing in particular.
His website details a great deal of the information you will need to unravel the mysteries of the music industry including maps of where the money goes and a recent addition is a case study on the business side of the Beatles'career. It's the sort of site you can be reasonably confident the content is well researched and worthwhile. Not least because it's not a profit making enterprise.
So if you're interested in original music, getting a record deal, self publishing, setting up a record company, writing library music or anything along those lines take a listen to the interview and have a look at the site.
We also talk about my latest acquisition the Zoom H4 which is a digital portable recorder. Usually we record in the studio using my Yamaha aw16g and a pair of good quality mics, but I was out in the field on this occasion and ... well if you listen you'll see (hear?!). And I hope we'll do a review of the Zoom H4 in one of the upcoming episodes.
Also I talk about another podcast that I listen to called The Podcast Academy. These guys are really at the front line in New media. In other words anything to do with podcasting. The reason I refer to it in this episode is that they have just released a recording from the annual Podcast Expo that was held in october 2007. It concerns the use of music in New media and is worth a listen. Download the episode at http://podcastacademy.com/wp/audio/PA.PNME-MusicLicensing-2007.09.28.mp3 or go here to listen in your browser.
As always, thanks for taking the trouble to listen to our podcast and we'll see you again next time.
