Wer schreibt und produziert eigentlich die Musik für die Werbungen und Filme die wir tagtäglich schauen? Und wie sieht der Arbeitsalltag einer solchen Person aus? Wer entscheidet, welcher Song für die neue Nike-Kampagne oder die neueste Netflix-Serie lizenziert wird? Welche anderen Einnahmemöglichkeiten gibt es für Musiker, Produzenten & deren Management/Labels in der Zusammenarbeit mit Marken?

Nicht erst Corona hat hauptberuflichen Musiker*innen und dem Business im Allgemeinen knallhart aufgezeigt, dass ein erfolgreiches Album und eine ausverkaufte Tour keine direkte Garantie mehr dafür sind, mit seinem Traumberuf auch seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreiten zu können. Daher lohnt es sich nicht nur für Berufseinsteiger sondern auch etabliertere Künstler*innen und ihre Manager*innen sich darüber zu informieren, welche möglichen Einnahmequellen jenseits von Konzerten, verkauften Albums & Merch warten.

Inhalt:

Fragen/Diskussion

Target Group:
Musiker*innen, Musikproduzent*innen, Sound Designer*innen, Bands und deren Managements?

Outcome:
Nach dem Seminar werdet ihr ein besseres Verständnis zu diesem besonderen Zweig der Musikbranche haben. Robert wird euch aufzeigen, welche weiteren Verdienstmöglichkeiten es für Musiker, Bands, Produzenten & deren Management/Labels jenseits verkaufter Alben, Merch oder Konzerttickets gibt. Hauptberuflich Musik für eine kommerzielle Nutzung zu komponieren ist nicht für jeden Musiker das Richtige. Doch das Feld ist vielseitig und kann ein sinnvoller Teil des Einkommensmixes für Musiker sein. Unser Tutor gibt euch in dem Seminar Do's und Dont's sowie konkrete Tipps mit an die Hand, welche euch den Einstieg in das Feld erleichtern sollen.

Whether live shows are going be possible soon again, or not, live streaming is definitely here to stay! The problem with it in its current iteration is that it's boring as fuck! This is also what makes it so exciting, because there is room to innovate.

This workshop will explore the possibilities of applying art-cinema tropes, performance art formats and street level interventions to create interesting new hybrids – formats we've not seen yet! The workshop will be structured like a group-based think tank, where we will come up with ideas for such formats, ones that can be executed on small budgets.
This workshop is open to musicians, performance artists and filmmakers.

The workshop will be led by spoken word artist / creative director Lukasz Polowczyk.

Nowadays, there is no international music trade show taking place without an expert panel on virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), artificial intelligence (AI) or music data mining.

From the idea of VR live concerts to creative ‚collaborations‘ between artists and AI such as „Flow Machines“ to data based A&Ring, we will take a closer look at the amazing opportunities that can lie within technological innovation.

Aim: This workshop intends to discuss the current impact of new technologies on the music business and culture, examine the practical relevance of it in a musician´s day-to-day life and take a sneak peek into the nearer future.

Monday 16th of February: Music Pool Tour to Funkhaus Nalepastraße

Eileen Möller — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:14:49 +0000

Composer Antony Hequet has his studios at Funkhaus Nalepastraße, the previous huge GDR radio studio complex, located close to Rummelsburger Bucht. Antony offers a free tour of Funkhaus for all interested to get to know the premises, to explore the large recording halls and to meet some producers using the many studios for their work.

The tour takes place on Monday, 16th February, starting at 7:30 pm, at Funkhaus, Nalepastr. 18 - 50 (Anfahrt). Instructions where exactly to meet on the premises are on our blog. The tour will take about 90 min, with drinks afterwards.

Antony would like to get more artists and producers interested in Funkhaus - as the space would offer so many possibilities that are currently not used to their full potential. So we are curious - and are taking the tour ourselves :).
