How to release your music today?

Insights from a label's perspectives

Lecture by Andreas Karl

The CD as the primary medium for music is gone. Streaming and download platforms are gaining more of the share every month while the turnover for the labels and artists is declining rapidly. And this goes for classical and contemporary music as well. In this process traditional distribution partnerships collapsed but new opportunities appeared. It was never easier to promote your music to an international audience while at the same time it needs much more effort to get attention and to earn your living. This lecture will give you insights in how labels are handling this new situation and how releasing music nowadays works.
