Gig Promotion
An introductory guide to the key aspects of organising and promoting your own show.
The following essays have been included with
the intention of helping to
increase awareness and understanding of the music industry and how it
operates, from a neutral perspective. They were all written by Joe
Morrish
as coursework for Music Industry Management BA at
Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, and should by no means be
taken as all-encompassing or 100% accurate - rather, as an intoduction to
various music industry topics.
This essay focuses on two quotes from music-sociology authors and examines
the relationship between creativity and the business side of music, and
whether they are always conflicting issues. Issues relating to music ‘genre’
are also discussed, with the Britpop period of the 1990’s as a point
of
focus.
Music
Publishing >>
Describes and explains the concept of music publishing, and what roles
modern-day music publishers play within the music industry, and their
relationship with songwriters, musicians and other companies. The essay
looks at what kind of input publishers have in both a creative and a
business sense.
The
Role of a Producer >>
Examines what exactly a music ‘producer’ is, their relationship
with
artists/ labels, and their role in the music industry. Examples of
well-known producers are used to enhance the explanations of different kinds
of music ‘producer’. There is some discussion of how studios/
equipment play
a part in the production of music.
