CONSULTING & PROMOTION SERVICES FOR ARTISTS


INTRODUCTION
We have a database specialized in electronic music, Ambient, Experimental, New Instrumental, Techno, New Age and some other alternative styles. This database includes recording companies, distributors, radio programmes, magazines, webs, shops, mailorder services, concert halls, festivals and organizations. This archive of contacts has been created after several years in direct contact with these, favored by our presence in the internet as well as the numerous emails we receive daily from all kinds of professionals in the area. Our direct contact with the staff in recording companies, distributors, mass media and other organizations allows us to get to know firsthand their interests and their availability when it comes to supporting the artists. Furthermore, we routinely search the web, even with the help of special programs for automatic navigation, so as to locate more recording companies, distributors, radio programmes, etc, from countries all over the world.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

From our wide database, constantly updated, we can select the contacts that fit the style of any artist coming to us, in order to help them have his CD distributed in various countries, broadcast on radio programmes from different countries, and reviewed in magazines as well as other mass media from different areas in the world, besides being known by festival organizers, concert promoters and other professionals in this sector. Usually, our promotion operation consists in sending a press release (a presentation of the artist and the CD, as well as any other information the artist considers to be relevant) to the contacts selected according to the style of the artist and whatever they intend to achieve (distribution, having their CD played on radio programmes,etc) (The press release may be written by the artists themselves or by us acording to the data wa are provided with, as they prefer). The press release also includes the email of contact of the artist or their manager, addresses of web pages, postal mail, and everything the artist needs to ensure a fluent contact with the professionals in the area. The amount of contacts where the press release is sent to depends on the style of the artist and the objective they intend to achieve, yet it usually is around the hundred, and may come to easily be of several hundreds. When we send the press releases (via email) we include, should the artist so desire, their email in a field of the message where other addresses may be placed, in such a way that the artist has direct information about when, how and to whom the press release is sent. After the sending of the press releases, the artists will be able to attend, according to their own criteria, the answers, requests for the sending of the CD with a view to its evaluation, promotion, etc, and so take care on their part of the sending of the CD they consider necessary. The messages addressed to the artist we receive, will be redirected to the artist with no additional charge.

Amazing Sounds is responsible for correctly carrying out all the services that are contracted, yet we cannot in any way be made responsible for the final success of the promotion campaign, since, as is logical, the acceptance of the CD depends on the quality of the music and / or the commercial criteria in the music world.

We have already successfully promoted several artists formerly virtually unknown, getting distribution of their albums in specialized mailorder services, besides reviewing and broadcasting in the media, at quite countries.
