Filming in certain locations is not always practical or affordable in the making of many films, TV programmes. Also, producing scenery of a very high quality to specific deadlines, on a large physical scale is a service that’s not easy to find. Experience, knowledge, and capacity all play a part in being able to get something as specific and important as this to the customer.   Ultimately, the ‘background’ to something has to be good enough to actually remain in and be accepted as the background, and to enhance and strengthen whatever is happening in front of it, making it more believable. Isn’t it about just reproducing a photo?In a word, no.   Simply reproducing a ‘blown up’ version of a photo is actually not ‘realistic’ enough when on screen or on stage.   Photographs really need to go through an enhancement process to make sure that when in a larger format they are still as ‘real’ as possible, and as close to the original photograph. Would I need to supply my own photograph?If the company you go to for a backdrop has an extensive image library anyway, it’s possible that there may well be a suitable image available already that can be used.   This could save you time and money. Would I have to buy the backdrop?

No. backdrops can be rented – they don’t have to be purchased.   Pre-existing backdrops can be ordered and shipped to the location of the film / TV programme for a limited period of time. Will I need separate backdrops to show the same view in the day and the night?Once again the answer is no. Day and night backdrops / translights are backdrops that can go from being a realistic daytime image to becoming a realistic night time image at the flick of a switch.  Will it take a long time before I receive my backdrop?No. A good printed scenic backdrop can often be make in a week (from receipt of the high quality photograph).

With the Apple’s advancement in their technology in the iPhone and iTouch, more and more people are getting hooked to having it the gadget to go. With the great graphics and multi-touch sensitivity, more games are being made by both individuals and independent software developers such as Beteo Games (http://www. beteogames. com) and more on the rise. The easy access to a software development tool, and affordable registration to the app store has somewhat opened Apple’s doors to game producers to make more money by delivering it directly to customers. With the more costly production cost of the Nintendo DS and PSP, it is almost an instinct to make the move to producing iPhone Games. Creativity is the promise of independent software developers, and fresh blood can pour in into the iPhone and iTouch, producing games for every age and taste. But as more and more games are produced, so is the idea born of getting free games, or another term for piracy, such as what happened to the PC Gaming world. Many gaming platforms are already facing this dilemma, but could iPhone be next?Word is spreading out that you can get any iPhone app for free, as to the app store has not given any sort of protection to the host that produces this games. But is it worth it? Is iphone gaming in peril?  If you are a software developer, then you should really think about this issue because you might face the problem of piracy, all those effort to make great games might be in vain. Popular gaming consoles have different layers of protection, making them a great consideration for any producer. If you are a game aficionado who likes to steal games, I tell you it is not worth it. iPhone apps are selling very cheap, cheaper than PC or other handheld gaming consoles, so spending a little on can make you show your appreciation to the producers to their effort of producing such quality games, or you may not experience any great games anymore at all in the future.

An Interview With Classic Rock Art Curator Michael Goldstein of RockPoPGallery
Rock and roll has been part of our pop culture for many decades and, so too has pop/rock memorabilia and art associated with it. Many classic album covers were created to not only sell music, but the concepts and images that were often the driving forces behind the music as well.
A business that is keeping this ideal alive is www. RockPoPGallery. com, a site that is dedicated to bringing customers the best selection of limited-edition rock and pop music related art prints, photography and related collectibles on the market today.
I spoke with curator and owner Michael Goldstein of RockPoPGallery. com about his business and why it is so important to preserve these pieces of audio history. Let’s learn more about the man behind the scenes:
RockPoPGallery. com was founded in 2005 in Huntington, NY by Michael, a long-time collector of music related artwork, as Michael explains:
“It was my personal collection (and my display of it in my offices at the TV network I worked at) that got me into the business in the first place. ”
And his interest in the art of the music was apparent at an early age, as Michael details:
“My father was a cartoonist/caricaturist and, while I only had 20% of his natural ability, I did a lot of drawing. I’d done a reproduction of one of Roger Dean’s “Flying Machines” on a wall in the basement of the house I grew up in, and that was the first time that I really sat down and took a look at the artistry that went into these covers. Growing up during the heyday of record cover art- from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, from Iron Butterfly, the Electric Prunes and early Black Sabbath to King Crimson, Yes, Frank Zappa and The Mothers, and the Mouse/Kelly’s works- all of those images ingrained in my psyche. Later on, when I got into cartoon animation and then into TV/Web production, I had a chance to work with some of the illustrators and photographers whose works I’d admired while growing up; and seeing how many of the still ‘had to work for a living’ made me mad/curious as to why these works of art and most of the people who’d made them were, in my opinion, seen as outsiders by the fine art establishment. I had to do something about that. These images were all expressions of the collaboration between musical artists, art directors, illustrators and photographers, and many of these images have certainly survived the ‘test of time’ even better than some of the music they accompanied! The artwork is about emotional connections and different forms of inspirations (sometimes chemical) and I think that is why my visitors enjoy the album art-related Cover Stories I write, as they’re all about the art and the artists. ”
Not knowing much about fine art, I asked Michael about the specifics of the business, some rather obvious, and some that needed some clarification. Here are some of the questions I was curious about:
What is a print?
“To put it simply, unlike a painting, prints are made by drawing not on paper or canvas, but on a surface such as stone or a metal plate, from which the image can then be printed a number of times,” explained Michael. “The surface is inked, a sheet of paper is then placed over it and the two are run through a press. The total number of prints that are pulled is decided by the artist and the publisher beforehand and this is called an “edition”. Each impression in the edition is signed and numbered (and sometimes embellished otherwise) by the artist. Once the edition is completed, the original plate or stone is either defaced or destroyed so that no more can be made. ”
“Original prints are often referred to by the technique that was used to produce them, such as lithography, silk-screening and the newest (and somewhat controversial) method – digital printing (or Giclee’). I explain these techniques in detail on the website. ”
I asked Michael, how do I know what I’m buying is an original?
“In almost all circumstances, RockPoPGallery buys its inventory from only one of three sources – either directly from the artist, directly from the artist’s publisher, or at auction from auction companies that can authenticate the “provenance” (the documented history of a work of art from its production to the present) of a work of art,” stated Michael. “While many items come from these sources with complete documentation, this is not the case with all works and so we guarantee originality, based on our knowledge, provenance and the above checks. As an art lover, collector and a gallery owner I would not consider buying or selling a work of art that I am not 100% sure about. Upon request, RockPoPGallery will provide you with a Certificate of Authenticity, which will include a copy of the provenance provided from our sources. You can then go visit the web sites of the artists/publishers, and if the description of the print matches theirs in every detail, then there is a very good chance it is original. ”
What determines the market price of a particular print?
“The international art market decides the price, based on the principles of supply and demand, basic economics really,” Michael explained. “Original prints may exist in multiples of more than one, which can account for a difference of thousands of dollars between the price of a mass-produced poster, an unsigned ‘open edition’ print and a signed and numbered limited-edition print. If a certain print is in demand and the supply is no longer there, the price will go up. However, price also very much depends on the condition of the print. Works on paper are extremely delicate and can easily be damaged by mishandling, poor framing, exposure to strong light and, of course, the passage of time. Prints in good condition are more sought after by collectors and therefore their prices are higher. And finally, some prints have been signed by both the artist/photographer and the musical act that the cover was done for, such as the Jimmy Page-signed Led Zeppelin IV prints, the David Bowie-signed Ziggy Stardust prints, and the Tony Iommi-signed Technical Ecstasy prints we sell. I have much more detailed information on the website. ”
What is the most expensive piece you sell, or conversely, maybe the most interesting item you have owned or sold.
“This really changes day-to-day and expensive is a relative term,” said Michael. “Compare to a Warhol or a Lichtenstein or a Haring- all of whom did record covers- none of my images are expensive. The highest-priced items tend to be the pieces where the editions are nearly sold out- like the Led Zeppelin 4 cover art signed by Jimmy Page, Karl Ferris’ photos for the covers of “Are You Experienced?” and “Electric Ladyland,” Entwistle’s “Who by Numbers”, etc. As far as the most interesting item I have sold, well the one with the most personal story must have been my copy of Roger Dean’s “Magician’s Birthday. ” I bought one for my personal collection at a very good price and then was offered a lot of money to sell it, which I did; not knowing how much I really wanted to keep it. To punish myself and to let me look at it everyday, I had a section of it tattooed on my right arm!”
I enjoyed my conversation with Michael and have certainly learned valuable information about the fine art that is available for rock and roll fans. I think what impressed me the most about conversation was Michael’s commitment and passion for what he does, certainly intangible qualities that you cannot place a value on.

These days, there is a great amount of good music being created and made available to the public. The internet has certainly been a great tool to that end. With all this music out there, today’s artists, songwriters and composers may feel that they are but tiny fish in a huge ocean. But there is a whole industry that exists that many people aren’t even aware of that makes this ocean a whole lot smaller.

Have you ever watched a TV show, commercial or a movie, or heard a radio commercial and wondered where the background music came from? Certainly there are scores of composers for hire who custom compose music on a per project basis. However, this can at times be too expensive for the project’s budget. As a result, there are two similar yet separate industries that exist to fill the need for pre-cleared hassle-free and inexpensive music, and each specializes in their own field.

1) Songs for Film & TV. The Pre-cleared Song industry will represent independent songs on behalf of the artist and pitch their material where appropriate. Uses include, films, TV shows and radio / television commercials. One of the places to promote your music for these uses is “museeks. com”. Not only do they offer you your own free ‘artist’ page, but they also give you the opportunity to have your songs considered for use in the film and TV industries. You can find out more information by visiting www. museeks. com and look for ‘Artist Signup’. Another great site to check to promote your songs for these uses is ‘Taxi’ at www. taxi. com

2) Instrumental “Production Music”. The Production Music industry puts together collections of instrumental music and makes it available to the film, TV, and media industry for easy, hassle free use. Uses include films, TV shows and commercials, radio spots, documentaries, corporate videos, multi-media presentations, and many others.

Songs for film, TV and commercials is a narrow niche that is extremely complicated in terms of negotiating a fee structure. Some of the considerations are as follows: Will the movie containing the song be a limited release film or will it be a general release across North America or the world? Will the video be released for sale or rent 6 months after the theater release? How many copies will be made, and in what territories will they be available? Will the film be translated into a foreign language in the future? Will it be shown as a re-run 5, 10 15 or 20 years from now on late night TV? Will it be shown on airlines as entertainment? Will the song be included on a “soundtrack CD” and sold in stores? Each of these uses has its own fee and must be itemized in the Contract, so it is best left up to people who specialize in this field to do the negotiating.

Basically, producers look for songs that are in sync with the same message that their production is trying to convey. For example, a song for a car commercial will have to project the image of freedom and independence, attitude, affluence or whatever other feelings they want you to imagine by owning that car. Similarly, songs for films or TV shows have to fit the scene where they will be used. I recently had a producer contact me who was looking for a sexy jazz vocal piece for a scene in a film where the lead actors were walking through a smoky bar. The music has to create the mood of the scene in the mind of the viewer. I have also had many requests for songs that were “positive and uplifting” without being religious. “America The Beautiful” is a prime example of this type of song.

Many people ask, “why don’t producers simply use popular songs from CD’s available in stores”? They can, but it will cost them a lot of time in securing permission as well as a considerable amount of money. (Microsoft reportedly paid The Rolling Stones seven figures to use a small snippet of their song “Start Me Up” in a TV commercial). They could even be refused permission regardless of cost. Permission would have to be sought from two different parties; the publisher (owner of the copyright in the actual music) and from the record company (owner of the copyright in the recording).

Instrumental production music is similar to the song industry except that it is easier to get music placed as there are many more opportunities available. Production music companies press CDs of instrumental music (all styles) and offer it to producers in 3 different ways:

1) Blanket License – For an annual fee, the producer has the unlimited right to use the music on a lease basis for a specified term.
2) Laserdrop License – Music is made available to the producer on a “pay-per-use” basis, and he must pay a set fee each time he uses music provided by the company.
3) Buy-Out License – The producer purchases the CD’s of production music outright, and the purchase price includes the right to unlimited use of the music forever.

In each of the above cases, the producer is still required to submit cue sheets and report usage to the appropriate performance rights society for all public performance of any production containing the music. This allows both the composer and the publisher to collect performance royalties. This reporting does not involve an additional fee to the producer.

What is “Copyright”? It is the protection given by the state (governing body of each country) to those who create intellectual property such as literary works, plays, musical compositions, etc. “Copyright” itself includes three separate and distinct rights:

1) Mechanical Rights – The right to make copies (tapes, CD’s, videos, etc) of copyrighted works. No person can make a mechanical reproduction of a copyrighted musical work without the permission of the copyright owner.

2) Synchronization Rights – The right to synchronize, re-record or utilize a musical recording in timed relation with a visual image or another sound or voice. This would include all forms of radio or TV commercials, shows, motion pictures, videos, etc.

3) Performance Rights – The right to perform musical works in public through radio, television, concert halls, restaurants and bars, background music systems (banks, grocery stores, elevators), and so on. Radio and TV stations pay an annual fee to the performance rights societies (such as BMI, ASCAP, SOCAN, PRS etc) for the right to perform music over the air. From the data that these societies receive from stations (i. e. cue sheets), the relevant composers and publishers get their appropriate shares of performing fees (residuals) which is paid out from the pool of funds collected. The performing rights societies are part of an international network of affiliates which exchange cue sheets and program information and collect and distribute performing fees to composers and publishers around the world.

What does it take to have your music considered? Here’s the Criteria:

* Your songs or instrumental music must be professionally recorded and mastered, and be of top quality.

* You must own your own Publishing, Copyright and Master Recording. In other words, you have not assigned these rights to any other person or company.

* You must have agreements/release forms with the producer, performers, studio etc that you control all rights and that they have no claim to any income that may be generated as a result of the performance or use of your song or instrumental music.

* You must acknowledge that your song or composition is completely original, and that you did not copy any part from any other source. All samples (if used in your music) must be pre-cleared and royalty-free.

I hope that this article has been beneficial in helping you to understand this segment of the music industry. If you have instrumental music that you would like to be considered for inclusion in a production music library, simply do a web search for “production music” and read each site for their submission policies.

In future articles, I will cover issues related to public domain and copyright protection.

Good Luck to all of you, and always keep faith in yourself and trust that the Universe will guide you in the right direction!

Most of the kids get fascinated by the musical keyboard is because of their ability to create different sounds and the various built-in musical rhythms. Most of the parents identify these instruments by the name Casio. Though Casio is a manufacturer of electronic keyboards, they have a monopoly when it comes to keyboards with lesser number of keys and that explains why people refer to keyboards as Casio. But if you look at the keyboards in the higher price range, you will observe that not only does the quality of sound improve drastically, the number of sounds and built-in rhythms (also known as styles) also go up dramatically. You can easily find hundreds of sounds and rhythms, based on various musical styles. And it is because of these musical styles, these keyboards are also known as Arranger keyboards. Because, you just have to select one of the musical styles and that is what you need to accompany the melody that you play. These musical styles are basically a combination of various tracks like drums, bass, guitar, strings, etc. which create a rich arrangement. And the best thing is that these arrangements change as per the chords that you play. These arranger keyboards can be used to play live in front of an audience. If you can sing well, just pick up one of the high-end arranger keyboards and a good pair of speakers, thatâ??s all you would need to play to the audience. As you go in the higher price range, arranger keyboards also give you the features of a workstation. You can compose your original score right from scratch; you can edit your score, and you can even burn a CD out of it.

When your private studio has innovative and interactive music teachers resources, you can certainly focus on developing your students’ interests in music. Through these, you can also motivate them to craft music as both their profession and passion. Teaching music can be a difficult task. It requires much time and effort; thus, makes music education more challenging, dynamic and versatile. Ideally, a music teacher must have these objectives in mind: • to offer a custom-made and challenging program for his musically-inclined pupils to maximize their music potential;• to provide a holistic music education through listening, performing (solo and group) and composing skills; and,• To realize that everyone has such potentials to understand, express and create music. Effective music teachers have such resources that can really encourage students to attend classes regularly, motivate them to participate and cooperate, and most of all, inspire them to love music. Many music teachers resources are readily available via the Internet. In just a matter of a few clicks, you can learn how to enhance your teaching strategies pertaining to music education. There are various music teachers resources that can definitely be used as your motivating factors in teaching music to a vast number of students with different personalities, demands, needs and desires. Here is my comprehensive list:• Cooperative learning. It is an instructional paradigm in which teams of students work on structured tasks such as homework assignments, laboratory experiments, or design projects. It is being administered under conditions that meet five criteria: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, appropriate use of collaborative skills, and regular self-assessment of team functioning. Many studies have shown that when correctly implemented, cooperative learning improves many aspects like information acquisition and retention, higher-level thinking skills, interpersonal and communication skills, and self-confidence. In here, it seeks to foster some benefits from the freedom of individual and collaborative learning. • Opportunities. It can be an advantage if an enhanced curriculum is made to unleash students’ musical skills and talents. They must be given such chance to perform and compete – be it solo or as a group, representing their school in music-related activities as well as various competitions. • Exposure. Also, just like opportunities, exposure can be of great help to become more interested. Familiarity and awareness to several music scenes can actually make them look forward to the next musical sessions. They can attend concerts, recitals or band rehearsals. Visiting some professional or conventional recording studios can be fun and exciting ways of learning music while exposing them to the real world. With all these innovative and effective music teachers resources and strategies, I am so certain that you could meet your academic goals and visions. Good luck and happy teaching!
