Making Music

From the muse to the ink in the songwriter’s pen and then onwards to the home recording studio and professional mastering suite, artists today have more opportunity than ever to make and produce high quality music ready for listener’s ears.  This panel will discuss the artist’s creative process of making music from start to finish.

Starting Your Own Station (FM or Internet)

Everybody thinks it would be great to have a radio station on campus. Okay…maybe not everybody. How do you sell the idea to your administration?

 

What are your broadcast options?

If you’re thinking about starting a station or taking your product to new heights, this session is for you!

Panel Session 2

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

 

1. New Technology and the Music Industry

 

From the days of the first phonograph to the advent of the mp3 file, technology has played a role in changing how artists create, market and distribute music. This panel will look at how some of the latest technology is changing the way we conceive music and asks whether artists, who can now reach their fans directly through the advent of social media sites, have any need for major labels at all.   

 

Confirmed Panelists:

George Capalbo (Backbone – IBS Student Radio Network - Worldwide)

Jack Rudy (CBS - Music Supervisor)

Luka Mielniczenko (AER & Stones Throw Music)

 

2. - Music Copyrights and Royalties

Perhaps the most confusing issue facing academic broadcasters over the last few years has been royalties for music streaming. Get the latest on this sensitive and confusing subject. This session separates myth from fact in this ongoing battle. What do we owe? When do we owe it? Who should we pay? What are we likely to pay in the future? Get answers to these questions and more.

Panel Hosts:   Karen Pals – Music Licensing

Panel Session 3

3:15 PM - 4:15 PM

 

1. Reaching the Goal – Are We There Yet?

 

Live touring and the music festivals are back for young artists and are now an integral part of a career, again. This panel will ask how young bands (Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, the Black Keys), who now have the potential to tour for years to come, change the way we think about festival appearances and sustaining a touring career. This panel will also look specifically at how music festivals, whether it be Woodstock, Coachella or CHAMPSFEST, have captured the imagination of artists and fans from generation to generation.
