SessionSound.com - Helping To Promote Underground Music
Are you a struggling independent musician who’s just trying to get the word out about your sounds. You might want to try a site like SessionSound that lets you publicize your music on across a profile based web 2.
0 platform. At SessionSound, you sign up and create your personal profile with regards to your material. You can take advantage of the site’s blogging tools, photo gallery, and gig section to further expand your repertoire among the SessionSound community while at the same time making your profile more extensive and accessible to other members. Most importantly, though, you can upload your music and have SessionSound manufacture and ship your demo CDs to interested listeners at a retail price that you specify beforehand, independently of SessionSound. Listeners can also purchase individual streaming audio material from the site if they don’t want to splurge for an entire CD. SessionSound receives a cut of the profit equivalent to US $5, and you, the musician, get to keep the rest.
Sessionsound.com In their own words
“We've got a simple mission–make the independent in independent music mean something. Technology has always disrupted the status quo. It has created new industries and changed existing ones.And music is one industry which is ripe for changing. Technology has offered musicians an opportunity to connect directly to their fans and a whole spectrum of new audiences”
Why Sessionsound.com might be a killer
SessionSound doesn’t charge a sales commission but rather offers a flat fee for CD sales, which may be a preferable system for some. Though SessionSound does receive a cut of the profit, the material remains fully under the control of the artist which produced it. In terms of the site itself, SessionSound is offers well-constructed and aesthetically pleasing interface, along with a cool “sound lounge” to check out the newest music on the site.
Some questions about Sessionsound.com
US $5 seems like a giant cut of the profit for a single CD sale, implying that the average price for a truly profitable CD sale for the artist must be pretty high. I wonder how many people out there would be willing to throw down such an amount of money on a product that’s becoming antiquated; is there a way that SessionSound can offer the entire CD in mp3 format for purchase and download?
