Average Salaries For Musicians

by

From the guys at TakeLessons.com here is a fun infographic on typical salaries in the music business. It doesn’t count for the business market for music however.

A Costly Way To Produce Music

by

20130703-173549.jpg
Music production has dropped massively over the past 30 years. But a novel idea by a photographer threw money to the wind to produce a creative track using only, wait for it, $30,000 cameras.

The article and a video of the track being performed is located here.
Of course this is all ‘tongue in cheek’ but it raises a key point about how key it is that background music is produced affordably so that the cost of licensing to businesses stays within reach.

Here at Melodypods the cost of production continues to be monitored assuring quality is maintained. As much as using cameras to create an interesting beat is great fun we spend all our time working on music that meets the needs of businesses who want to connect to their clients using music. Since music is a very personal thing we spend a lot of time thinking and assuring the music we provide meets the needs of target markets for restaurants, hotels, retail, gyms, cafes, spas and receptions.

Artists Claims He Made More From T Shirts Than From Pandora

An artist has gone on record to explain how one million plays of his music on Pandora earned him less than one sale of a T shirt.

His earnings also show how important terrestrial royalties are for his music collection.

The artists concerned is following a traditional route and using performing and composition royalty collection agencies to hand a portion of their license income (after staff and executive salaries and other operational costs) for the terrestrial radios to play his music.

This must be an eye opener for many musicians struggling to work out how to sustain an income with their music collection.

However, an article here reports on Pandora responding to claims by reporting how well some assist we’re earning with them.

Careful Of Bird Songs Used On Your Mobile

by

The UK’s Dorset Wildlife Trust recently reported it was warning users of mobile phone apps that mimic bird song that they were disturbing the birds activities in doing so.

The article located here details that nature lovers are using an app to attract the nightjar away from important tasks such as feeding their young.

Here at Melody Pods we will be adding a bird song collection to our relaxation collection (as an add on option only) in the future so we will keep this issue in mind about ensuring we understand the type of bird song featured and the times of the year we release the recordings for.
