The Sound And Music Industry

With the fast rising technology and the closer world community, the music industry has changed dramatically in this modern world. In this case, I will choose an American rock band Paramore as a case study. I will first start with an overview and a brief history of the band, afterwards I will focus on the main four music business areas, which are Artist Management, Record Companies, Music Publishing and Live Performance, examining how they operate in the industry and their relationship between each area and with the band. Finally, I will finish up with a conclusion and my own views.

Tour managers make sure that tours go smoothly. They manage the tour finances, deal with ticketing agencies and making sure everyone on tour is on task. They basically manage the people who are on tour. In bigger bands the role of a Tour Manager might be split into three or four people.

2.Now a days, concerts of famous artists are usually held in big stadiums and theaters, which brings a huge crowd of fans for affordable ticket prices and the same time, satisfies the high demanded payment for the top artists and earns a profit for the organizers of the shows. However, there are concert management companies, like Nederlander, that manages to charge higher ticket prices for small theater performances and to deliver a “sellout crowd night after night”(Video Case: Nederlander, p.1). Why is Nederlander able to do that when audiences could pay less at stadium concerts?

Following this through, take pop phenomenon, Justin Beiber, for instance; Justin was found on YouTube by Atlanta based manager, Scooter Braun (Kaufman, 2010). As stated by Gladwell, “Mavens are people who have a strong compulsion to help others” (69). A manager in music is somewhat similar; a manager’s job is to handle the business of an artist, making sure the labels are doing their job and helps the artist keep their focus on music (About.com: Music Careers). Continuing on, manager Scooter Braun insisted on meeting the soon to be pop sensation, so he set up a meeting with Justin and his mom where Justin would have then accidentally run into R&B superstar Usher (Kaufman, 2010). Usher, in this case would be referred to as the connector, an individual who has many ties in many realms and act as the passage between them. Ushers role would be connector since he landed Justin a professional deal and formed a joint-venture label with Braun and Antonio L.A. Reid, the

Within industry there is revolution. Innovation for development and a burning desire for further progression must be realized or risk of failure increases exponentially. Does consistent hard work not correlate with well earned success? Does perseverance parallel evolution? The music industry is not impervious to failure and its institutes must evolve to survive in an ever-changing world of technological advancements. These advancements are utilized and implemented industry wide, including via event promotion to solidify the future of music as a whole. Event marketing, albeit not a “modern term”, has proved vital to the music industry time and time again as it constantly evolves as the music industry business model is redefined. Event marketing and promotion has been defined and consistently redefined as use of technologies upturn.

It will last for four hours and my goal is to sell as many tickets as possible, as selling every ticket would give me around £20,000, which would greatly contribute towards paying for the costs. Even without reaching this ideal, it allows for a far greater expansion in all areas of the project. The launch party will also provide some advertisement for my product, as the marketing ideas should build up enough attention for people to acknowledge my product. The launch party will also be used as an opportunity to sell merchandise, as people would associate the merchandise to the artist, and the memory of attending the live event. This is a key opportunity to sell merchandise, as it is the beginning of an artist's career, and merchandise from the beginning of an artist's career can be both a sentimental, memorable object, as well as a collectors object, and both hold values in different ways. In order to transport instruments and musicians to and from the venue, travel would cost around £200 to rent a vehicle for a weekend. This would be vital, as it is a cheap and efficient way to get everything to the live performance, and without it, there would be no live

The popular music industry in the late 1990s was dominated by a small number of integrated corporations with headquarters in Europe, the United States and Japan. This music market starts simply with an artist and moves along through many steps to the consumer. Everything has its start when a musician presents his music to a music manager, and if he/she finds the music promising, a contract is signed between the two, recordings are made and a marketing plan is drafted for the

Nothing is more enjoyable than listening to your favorite song. All over the world, people listen to music on a daily basis. Music plays a major part in a tremendous number of people’s lives. While they are enjoying the music, they do not think about how the song came about. Music is not just the sound you hear or the voices in the background. People do not think about what is behind the scenes of where music comes from. Before the song is completed, someone has to make it happen. In music, there are different careers which are the song writer, the manager, the marketing executive, and the produced. Each of these careers play a huge role in how music is brought to the public.

In this article, Peterson and Berger show how the organization of the popular music industry affects the music that America hears.

Even with the majority of these shows selling out, tickets combined with show merchandise are not enough to cover the performance. It is these performances that open the doors to other streams of revenue. One of these streams being the Internet where the WWE has its own website. The WWE produces a show called WWE NXT only for the websites to promote the business and shows clips from its live performances.

An event organiser must also be able to have a high negotiation power and a good budget management scheme as this will to reduce costs that would otherwise be unnecessary. Being able to reduce the cost of organizing the event saves funds and hence other details of the event can be obtained and thus guarantee the event to be a success.

The music industry has been around for over two centuries (PBS). Its volatility can be measured by its ability to shift and change according to its time period, the technologies that arise through the ages and the public’s shift in musical taste. The music industry is comprised of many different components, organizations and individuals that operate within it. Some of these components include the artists who compose the music themselves, the producers that engineer the sounds created by the artists, the companies that handle distribution and promotion of the recorded music, the broadcasters of the music such as radio

At Cirque du Soleil, a touring show is a very complex matter. A tour can be treated as a little village of about 150 people, and it needs the best technology to meet their needs which can range from basic bandwidth requirements to ticket sales, payroll and phone systems. And as this is a village that moves every six or seven weeks, which means that it has to be constantly torn down and set up again.

The creation of musical works has always been culminated by several different processes and usually involves many people. The process takes a lot of time delaying the release of music. Advancement in technology has played a significant role in the music production by lowering the length of time it takes to produce recorded material. Artists usually sign a contract with a recording company that markets their music products. The internet and low-cost recording technologies have created a “do-it-yourself” music movement. New artists have gained worldwide recognition without landing a recording contract with a major record label.

Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is a yearly open air electronic music celebration that happens in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States (DURAN, 2013).In this report I have analysed about the ultra-Miami festival event in USA and what is behind the success of the event. Events rarely succeed or fail it is totally depending on the scheduling and who all are the stakeholders are supporting the particular event. For a successful event there are several potential goals to satisfy and a plethora of stakeholders to involve (Presenza, 2012). Festivals are mostly unique in the events sector how the stakeholders are involved in the events. Media is mainly involved in a group way in television and
