How To Use Social Media To Promote Music:
Get A Digital Strategy In Just One Session

on Wednesday, February 17, 2010

at SAE Institute in New York

A digital strategy can mean the difference between “Who are you?” and “Wow, look at how many albums you’ve sold!”

Good news: you’ll find more places than ever to interact with other professionals and reach new audiences.

Bad news: where do you find the time? Between tweets and tags, groups and clouds, friends and feeds, pings and pages, diggs and blogs, you could spend ALL your time on social media and never make a sale.

Once you’ve narrowed it down – which is what this session will help you do – what are the best ways to effectively and efficiently increase your Internet presence on social media platforms?

Get tips, tricks and strategies from three industry leaders to maximize investment of your time and get greater response for your client, music or project.

The Internet is hailed as the great equalizer for those seeking music marketing and distribution opportunities. But mere presence on the Internet does not stimulate demand… or sales. For that, you need a plan.

And that's what you'll get with this 2.5-hour in-depth workshop. For the busy music biz entrepreneur, this is a step-by-step blueprint for success.

YOU WILL LEARN

• Blogging for fun and profit
• Ways to update ALL your social media at once
• Secrets to building an online community of fans who support the artist financially
• Increase Web traffic: 3 things you can do to double your readers in 30 days
• Get people to comment on your posts.

• How to get ratings and reviews
• Calls to Action: How to get people to Buy This Now!
• Twitter & Microblogging
• Media Sharing: YouTube, Flickr, SideShare
• Social News & Bookmarking: Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious and niche sites

Industry leaders in social media give you the facts you need to take your artist to the top in this special NARIP session.

David Chaitt, Manager of Social Distribution at Oddcast, SoundCtrl blogger and freelance social media strategist
So I’m a quarter century old. I live in Brooklyn. Music has been the one of the only things I’ve been passionate about. The pursuit of new music is a reason to wake up in the morning and trying to expose that music is why I can’t sleep at night. When I graduated college, I flirted with the idea of law school, but I soon came to the realization that I wanted to be a part of the music industry in whatever capacity I could. I got an internship with Ropeadope and my life has been constructive chaos ever since. I have dipped my hands in most aspects of music: marketing, booking, promoting, stage management, tour management, journalism, and A&R. I take pride in my ability to learn by doing and am always on the watch to be as educated and informed as I can be about the music business as well as upcoming bands. Currently, I’m the Manager of Social Distribution at Oddcast. After the day job ends, I spend my time on SoundCtrl, a music tech organization based out of NYC, where I’m the blog editor and board member. I’m a being-productive junky so when I’m not working, I’m cooking, exercising, homebrewing beer, reading, writing or catching up on the few TV shows that have any substance these days.

taintradio Special Programming: Radio Geronimo's 40th Anniversary Show 2/15/10

Radio Geronimo was the first European free-form station, some 40 years ago. One of Geronimo’s prime movers and most popular program hosts was London-based Barry Everitt, host of taintradio’s weekly House of Mercy program. Radio Geronimo provided many colorful moments in the saga of pirate radio, beginning with the fact that its transmitter was built in Monte Carlo in 1940 for use as part of Hitler’s propaganda apparatus.

On February 15, 1970 Radio Geronimo began weekly broadcasts from Radio Monte Carlo. Presenters Hugh Nolan & Barry Everitt played the now historic version of “Amazing Grace” by The Great Awakening and Radio Geronimo was born. The signal was heard over the entire continent and even though it was a legal transmission it was referred to as a pirate by many countries, including the UK. Geronimo's free-form programming and use of very free speech seemed to upset the British Government and the BBC jammed the signal. Radio Geronimo hit back by jamming the BBC headquarters in London (with strawberry jam). Hugh & Barry were arrested and made the front page of the daily papers, thus creating a massive new audience for Geronimo.

The success of the station also riled other broadcasters, and as often happens , other companies bought their way into Monte Carlo; by November 1970 Geronimo was off the air and in the realm of legend. Barry’s Geronimo sidekick Hugh Nolan is departed, as are Radio Geronimo backers Jimmy Miller and Tony Secuna.

Barry Everitt ’s London-based House of Mercy Productions and listener-supported taintradio.org presents a two-hour special program celebrating Radio Geronimo’s 40th anniversary from 1:00-3:00pm (Eastern) on Monday, February 15th, exactly 40 years after its initial broadcast. The program will repeat as follows (all times are Eastern):

Wednesday, February 17th - 7:00-9:00pm

Sunday, February 21 - 3:00-5:00pm

Thursday, February 25 - 2:00-4:00am

SIRONE

September 28, 1940, Atlanta – October 21, 2009, Berlin

"A renowned double bassist of exceptional talent Sirone, (Norris Sirone Jones) was a founder member of the Revolutionary Ensemble and remained with it throughout its six-year life. His memory is principally cherished for his power, flexibility and musicality as an improviser.

"Back in 1971, three adventurous young US jazz musicians formed an uncompromising improvisational group called the Revolutionary Ensemble--a title that had resonances in the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the radical transformation of jazz that had been ignited by Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane.

"The work of the experimenters of that era is still evident in jazz today, in a freer and more collectively intuitive approach to playing. The double bassist Sirone was also a powerful influence in his own way. The Revolutionary Ensemble was remarkable for its concentration on texture, tone color and the then unclaimed territory between jazz and contemporary classical music, which partly derived from its unusual lineup: Sirone on bass, Leroy Jenkins on violin, and Jerome Cooper on textural rather than jazz-swinging percussion. Adapting what he had learned from work in the 1960s with the free-jazz luminaries of the time, Sirone brought a Charles Mingus-like earthiness and percussive attack to the mix--and if he was nimble and imaginative enough to follow the unpremeditated thoughts of the most mercurial improvisers, he was always ready to re-anchor the music to jazz's most fundamental virtues in the blues.

"He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and played the trombone at first, taking up the double bass at the age of 17. In his early playing years in his hometown, Sirone worked with a co-operative band simply called the Group, which also featured the saxophonist and occasional blues singer George Adams, later to make a significant jazz contribution in the bands of Mingus and Gil Evans. The directness of Sirone's musical conception was established in this environment, and he was a natural recruit to the burgeoning free-jazz scene in New York when he moved to the city in 1965. Joining the pianist Dave Burrell, Sirone participated in Burrell's Untraditional Jazz Improvisational Team.

"During these years, Sirone worked with Burrell and Taylor, and the fiery saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri, Marion Brown and Noah Howard. He also played with the guitarist Sonny Sharrock, a performer who eschewed the tasteful single-line melodies of orthodox jazz guitarists in favor of a Hendrix-related wall of abstractly bluesy noise. In the late 1960s, such saxophone celebrities as Jackie McLean, Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp joined Sirone's list of august employers, as well as the band-leading maverick Sun Ra.

"From 1971 to 1977, the bassist was primarily involved with the Revolutionary Ensemble, Sirone having been introduced to violinist Jenkins by Taylor's drummer Sunny Murray. Jenkins's search for connections between classical music, jazz and blues quickly chimed with Sirone's approach, and from the first 1971 exploration on the group's debut for the ESP label (an extended improvisation called Vietnam), the bassist's ability to mirror and extend the violinist's bold ideas, and to merge seamlessly but tellingly into the group sound, is abundantly clear. The trio released the album “Manhattan Cycles” the next year, then “The People's Republic” in 1975 and an eponymous titled departure in 1977. It did, however, reconvene in 2003 for “And Now ...”, a more refined but still structurally inventive venture that Jenkins's death the following year turned into the group's swansong.

"By then based in Berlin, but regularly commuting to the US, Sirone joined Taylor's group in the mid-1970s, an assignment demanding immense stamina. He also worked with Phalanx, George Adams and the guitarist James Blood Ulmer's group, and with Jenkins on the saxophonist Dewey Redman's fine “Coincide” (1974), displaying both his capacity for dramatically atmospheric bowed playing and a highly lyrical jazz-ballad style.

"Sirone played and recorded with European musicians in his last years. He told All About Jazz in 2005 that he “put a definite attention towards the composition merely as a path of reaching the point where we can find that magical moment … to reach that point that freedom is discipline and discipline is a study." (Source: excerpted from All About Jazz, article by John Fordham)

With his wife Veronika Nowag-Jones, Sirone was very active in German theater. Sirone served as musical director and actor in a production with the great Hungarian writer/director Georg Tabori at the famous “Burgtheatre” in Vienna. Sirone also created a play with his wife Veronika about homeless people in New York City. Together they played a homeless couple, with Sirone acting and playing the bass. They presented this piece in Germany, Austria, Swizerland, Atlanta, and New York. Excerpts of this production were shown on German television. Sirone also played and acted in many German television films. At Berliner Brecht, Sirone was the musical director and soloist for the Charlie Chaplin film version of “Monsieur Verdoux.”. German television has been producing a documentary film about the couple’s extraordinary lives. In Berlin, Sirone led his own music ensemble called "Concord." They played many times in Berlin, and in Poland.

BBC Review

The soul album of the year for its challenge to the genre itself.

Kevin Le Gendre 2009-12-22

Over the last few decades the media has trivialised the term soul diva.  Amid flimsy claims to the honour from singers with cut-price voices and big-budget videos, the meaning of Etta, Aretha and Chakha has dimmed. Mem Nahadr is a beacon, a reminder that the aforesaid had more than pipes. There was electricity in their character, too.

From the opening bars of Never Mind, the Washington-born, New York-based singer simply arrests the listener with an urgent, eruptive clarion, a kind of primal ecstasy that recalls Ms Khan on the crescendo of her timeless Tell Me Something Good, the flurry of high notes and the quivering vibrato held with a grace that puts gospel and opera in near perfect balance. As the set unfolds, the power is regulated with a wide range of subtleties – the under-the-breath articulation of Over; the haunting pizzicato tone of Starlight; the slightly hazy hush of Deep in a Shallow Bed. In other words, Nahadr studiously avoids the temptation to shoot for the scream queen antics that her multi-octave range would allow. Basically, she gets the theatre of song.

That probably comes in part from her work in performance art and, in particular, one-person shows as well as an inner fortitude derived from a testing adolescence as an African-American albino who endured ostracism from both sides of the racial divide. Nahadr also counts as a mentor the great jazz clarinettist Sabir Mateen, which may well explain why she stretches harmony or tempo more than the average pop artist and why her instrumentation – two bass guitars, keyboards, drum programming, electric trumpet, brilliantly played by Meg Montgomery – is anything but commonplace.

And yet for all the esotericism of this work it is also winningly accessible if not lopsidedly catchy in a Kate Bush meets Soul II Soul way. That is to say there are strident funk licks, dub shimmers and house grooves spiked by a dissonance that would scare most MTV programmers. This being the soul album of the year for its challenge to the genre itself, she won’t end up there. She’s too good.
