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.
