 Posted: Wed, 18th Jan 2006 21:15 Post subject: Recruiting For A Digital Record Label |
|
 |
A digital record label is being created to take advantage of the internet in ways the established music industry has so far been incapable of. It is being formed on the premise that the internet allows the independent label to truly compete with the majors.
This is a startup venture that will experiment with innovative techniques such as using the networks usually reserved for pirated material to release our music. New outside the box ideas are welcomed and encouraged. While the long-term goal is to be profitable, there is no current funding for this project. If you choose to be a part, it is strictly on a voluntary basis for now. However, you will be getting in on ground level of something groundbreaking.
The label will focus on Hip-Hop and Electronic music. E-maZOMGREMOVEDy for any of the following positions. Briefly let us know why you are interested in the position, and what skills or attributes you can bring to it. We are looking for:
A&Rs- Responsible for scouring the net for the best unsigned artists. This position will routinely check Myspace, Soundclick, GarageBand, and GorillaMusic for new artists. They will also search through web forums that have artist communities.
Web developer- As a digital label, our web presence is extremely important. A web developer with a great design aesthetic is needed to create a cutting edge page with any community building features you think will benefit the label. Ie. Forum, blog, rss feed, media player, ect.
Graphic Designer- Graphic design work such as logos and album art are key components to a professional product. This position will be responsible for creating these elements as well as assisting the web developer.
Digital Street Team Head- This position will be responsible for compiling and updating a list of web forums whose topics are music related, or whose membership aligns with our target markets. This person will be responsible for recruiting a team to become a part of these forums and post information about our artists. The team will fully disclose that they are affiliated with the label in all posts. The street team can be recruited from any source including current members of each web forum.
Audio Engineer- The engineer will be responsible for finalizing our releases and creating promotional content. They will ensure that the final tracks from the artists are properly mixed and mastered, re-mixing and mastering the tracks if need be. They will also be responsible for creating promotional audio content such as podcasts.
Packaging- This position is responsible for converting the final tracks into various formats and tagging them with information. They will package the files together, readying them for distribution. Experience with enhanced podcasts and XML code is a plus.
Distribution- The distributor will play a vital role in the success of this label. Free content will continually be released to gain exposure for our artists and label. This person will need to create a network of places that will make our content available and/or play our music. Music sites, net radio, and blogs are possible examples. Contacts in the scene such as channel and site ops, and ftp admins, is a huge plus. Knowledge of spreading files through bittorrent and P2P is also helpful.
