Mon. 24.09, Community Evening - Shoot It Yourself x Music Pool Berlin: The Art and Relevance of Music Videos – Discussion and Music Video Premiere

musicpool intern — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 10:28:15 +0000

We are happy to present the premiere of freshly produced music videos, as outcomes of an intensive workshop led by the film director Stephanie von Beauvais.

This Music Pool x Shoot It Yourself Community Evening will premiere and discuss the videos, and look behind the scenes of conceptualizing and producing a video for your song. How can you make your video a quality short film in itself, and not just an inevitable visual byproduct to your song? How can you create an interesting video yourself on a small budget? What are basic filmmaking skills that you need to know? And what are the experiences of musicians that have just gone through the process of shooting a DIY video?

The second part of the evening will discuss the relevance of music videos in post MTV times. How important are music videos for the promo of a song these days? How do promoters and musicians use music videos in their album or track campaigns? And is a music video only being perceived as a promotional tool or how do audiences appreciate music videos as an art form?

Steph von Beauvaisis a Berlin based director and producer of music videos, documentaries and commercials with more than 20 years experience. She has collaborated with German musicians and bands like Tocotronic, Beatsteaks, Olli Schulz, Marteria, Casper, Laing, 2Raumwohnung, Kreator and several more. She teaches at HTK Berlin and her own music video workshop series.

Michael Mlinskihas more than 10 years of experience of developing marketing campaigns for musicians, such as Drangsal, Marilyn Manson, Ferris MC, or Denzel Curry, currently with Vertigo/Capital, and formerly with Caroline International.

Participating artists:

DJ:
Galina Ozeran (Chikiss aka Galina Ozeran, Video Salon / NOT NOT FUN rec.)
As a child of soviet era sci-fi, Chikiss tinted by the faded glory of suggested futures that never came to be. Her DJ sets are deep cinematic experimental journey - and complement the soundscape of this community evening on music videos.

Would you like to present something at the Artist Meet Up? We have approx. 8 slots á 10 minutes including feedback and discussion with the audience.

Please write an email to andrea (at) musicpoolberlin (dot) net latest by August 20th, 2018, including a link to your music and some brief info on what and why you'd like to present. The event is open to all artists regardless of genre.

Sun. June 10, Community Evening - The role of record labels and how to work with them as an artist

musicpool intern — Sat, 09 Jun 2018 08:54:00 +0000

Record labels have always been central players at the core of the music industry, helping musicians and producers in their artistic development, strengthening scenes around peculiar styles and genres and working as a point of convergence for like – minded artists, cultural operators and music fans.

However, the recent digitalization of the music business has without any doubt brought some unexpected changes, that have affected mainstream as well as independent music milieus alike.

If record labels were once pivotal actors in boosting artists career, picking them as they were still completely unknown, it might not be so today.

Internet, social media and streaming services has made possible for emerging artists to adopt radical DIO (Do It Ourselves) strategies, allowing them to overcome the role of a lot of music industry middle players. If the success of acts such as Arctic Monkeys, due in part to a strong online buzz around the band and DIY Marketing campaign, sounds like it dates back to prehistory, nowadays Spotify and streaming services in general are still shacking the music business, being the heralds of a revolution yet to come. That regards not simply, for instance, new ways of breaking an act, allowing artists to achieve global success without the support of radios. Just a few days ago, Billboard has announced that “Spotify has offered advances to a number of managers and indie acts in exchange for licensing their music directly to the streaming service”.

Against a music industry in which the selling of records is not the main way of money making anymore, mainstream record labels are trying to counteract such changes focusing their work more and more on artists branding, and moving towards so called “360 degrees” contracts, namely “contracts that allow a record label to receive a percentage of the earnings from all of a band's activities instead of just from record sales or money-making activities that the record label had a hand in.”

But how is this all affecting the independent music environment? Is the digital revolution something that helped or damaged independent record labels? How did their role changed in the last 10 to 15 years?

These are some of the questions that we’re going to explore during our panel discussion “The role of record labels and how to work with them as an artist” to be held on Sunday June 10th at Volksbühne, in the context of Independent Label Market Berlin x Torstrassen Festival. Our own Eric Eitel will be joined by Domino Records Chrissie Niestroj, Float Pr & Float record label founder Sofia Ilyas, Sonic Pieces head honcho Monique Recknagel and Berlin artist and entrepreneur Rainer Scheerer from Springstoff label and booking. An overview of contemporary DIY strategies and good practices, together with a few tips for emerging musicians on how to approach labels will also be covered.
