I wil release my first CD in few weeks - for now only for promotion. im not sure what it ahould contain .... definetly it will be something not too hard, like my past works ( maybe you heard them ) im in trouble - should it be Ep ? LP ? what style of cover ? i have head full of ideas - what should i do ? maybe someone would help me ? |

an ep of 4 or 5 tracks of pure sounding synth melodies with very subtly building rhythmic backings, with a greyish purple cover with a weird dull pinkish blurred shape on it. |

but shoulde these melodies be more happy , or mole "sad" , complicated , more simple ? |

make an ep that is a good summary of your sound. and try to get it copyrighted. |
||||||||

should CD have track names ? or maybe something more minimal ? pure sound, nothing more - like chaistic slide from Ae ? |

design a package concept that looks like your music sounds. to do it cheaply and quickly, only put about 4 or 5 of your favorite tracks on it. only print a couple hundred, assembling them by hand. you can get liner notes and labels printed cheaply at a copy store. you can buy blank cd's and jewl cases online from many places relatively inexpensively. Give them to anybody and everybody that will listen. local dj's, your friends, record labels, college radio stations, family members, people at shows etc... i can't say this has "worked" for me but i have moved a lot of my little ep's which means a lot of people have heard my music. that's all i was interested in doing, making it easy for people to hear my stuff. |

copyrighting is not too difficult.... in many countries copyright is automatic once you publish something in a fixed or tangible form. you just need to pay to register it - there should be something online to help you... just look in google or something. most countries have agencies that handle that. the way i had my work copyrighted, is first i published it myself on cd-r (published = legal definition: to make available to the public through sales, as a gift, etc. any way it exchanges hands between you and someone else) and then filled out a form for copyrighting a sound recording, mailed it with two copies to the US copyright office, and copyright is considered registered WHEN IT ARRIVES at the Copyright Office. (it takes a few months to process though, i'm talking like five or six, but that's just you waiting to get your official certificate, it's stll copyrighted nonetheless) Voila! I'm sure Poland has a similar system. |

do what YOU want to do. if you are making a record, make your own choices. not trying to be mean, but it is your work, so I think you should make these decisions. |

|

well put. copyright is definitely a wise choice, but no EXACTLY necessary. |
||||||||
|

yeah, your point, but i just wanted advice rather about material which will be on cd-s , i wasnt expecting copyrights - in fact i wasn't thinking about it at all !!! funny i see that there's much to do and the point is that these cd's are going to Dj recordshop in the first place - you know that these places are different than others...so i was curious your opinions about it thanks you all, anyway |
