COMPARING APPLES WITH.......MICROSOFT
AUSTRALIAN SUBMISSIONS FOR SxSW - AUSTIN, TEXAS
Submissions from Australian artists to showcase at South by Southwest Music Festival and Conference in Austin, Texas, open on September 1.
Organisers of the conference have teamed with the Music Managers Forum and various state music industry associations for a series of meetings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide in the first two weeks of August.
The Music Managers Forum hosts the seminars as their regular monthly meeting in:
Melbourne August 1, 6 pm Corner Hotel 57 Swan Street, Richmond (in association with Vic Music)
Sydney August 7, 6 pm Roxbury Hotel, 182 St Johns Road Glebe (in association with Music NSW)
Brisbane August 8, 6 pm at a venue to be confirmed (in association with QMusic)
Adelaide August 16, 6 pm at the FAD Bar-30 Waymouth Street in the City (inassociation with AWESAM)
Each seminar will be addressed by music industry executives who are long time SxSW attendees. They will explain how to strategise way ahead of the rest of the world, how to work with Austrade, the realities of grants, visas, logistics, advance PR, promotion and publicity tactics. Working with the Australian Music Office in Los Angeles, SxSW attendees can gain valuable traction from programs initiated by it aimed at the event. And the Australian Music Collective (Mary Mihelakos and Glenn Dickie) will outline their plans for Austin based promotions as well as shows before and after SxSW in other cities.

GETTING YOUR MUSIC TO MARKET
Here's just a few of the "Tips for Getting Your Music To Market".
- Artists should decide what materials they want to record. It's easier to start with favorite songs that are already in the market. License a "cover" of a song at Harry Fox and the rates are very low and for less than 2500 units of initial projected sales. The process only takes minutes on line.
- Look for a good recording studio with experienced producers.
- Go to cdbaby to get all the information needed to start the distribution of your new CD. The set up cost for cdbaby can be less than US$50
