Production

29/6/2014

 

​Arranging, Composition, Transcribing and Typsetting

Red & Black Music offers a flexible range of arranging, composing, transcribing and typesetting services, designed for producers and ensembles. Scores are priced per 5 minutes, per element. Prices are divided single / combined to encourage producers to build up ensembles according to their needs. To qualify for combined packages, producers must select from minimum 2 groups of elements (e.g., vocals and rhythm).

Vocals:
  • £05 single / £03 combined - 1 lead or backing vocal part
  • £10 single / £06 combined - 1 lead or backing vocal part with lyrics
  • £15 single / £09 combined - 1 lead and 1 backing vocal part with lyrics

Rhythm:
  • £05 single / £03 combined - piano / guitar or lead sheet
  • £10 single / £06 combined - piano / guitar and bass
  • £05 single / £03 combined - percussion (combined)
  • £10 single / £06 combined - percussion (multi-line arrangement)

Horns:
  • £05 single / £03 combined - 1-horn arrangement
  • £10 single / £06 combined - anything up to a 3-piece horn section
  • £15 single / £09 combined - anything up to a 5-piece horn section
  • £20 single / £12 combined - anything up to a 7-piece horn section

Strings:
  • £05 single / £03 combined - single string part
  • £15 single / £12 combined - 4-piece string arrangement (string quartet)
  • £20 single / £15 combined - 5-piece string arrangement (string quartet + bass)

So, for example, an arrangement for the DIÁSPORA 11-piece band would cost:
  • £09 - 1 lead and 1 backing vocal part with lyrics
  • £06 - piano / guitar and bass
  • £03 - percussion (single)
  • £09 - 4 horns
= £27

We will soon be offering producers a catalogue of over 100 arrangements of songs within the jazz and world music spectrum. 50% of the  proceeds will go to the PRS Foundation meaning that money will go to the original composers / lyricists of these songs.

Management

29/6/2014

 
We work with a variety of different artists across the jazz and international music spectrum, most notably Latin band DIÁSPORA
(www.diasporamusic.co.uk).

We guide young and emerging artists to help get them off the ground and we work with established artists to help maintain their careers. We offer consultation and administrative schemes, either exclusively or non-exclusively, on a pay-as-you-go, commission or contractual basis across the following areas:
​
  • Diary and events management
  • Digital documentation and development
  • Finance
  • HR
  • Marketing
  • Production
  • PR
  • Website development

At the heart of our management initiative is an online system comprising events, commerce and communications management facilities aimed at artists, to facilitate and streamline their aspects of business.

  • An integrated events management system detailing clients, lineups, managers, producers and venues, and providing email friendly contractual and financial templates, with built in accountancy spreadsheets to help you keep on track with financial targets. Events can even be grouped together into tours or residencies.
  • The UK's first, monitored suppliers database. The database not only provides contact details of suppliers by discipline(s) and town / city, but it also reports on their offer history (occurrences, average response, average response time, average notice) and their general performance.
  • An automated deal calculator. A calculator that generates instant quotes that factor in all fees, expenses and charges solely on 2 inputs (desired band / lineup and postcode).

This system will soon be available to both non-paying and paying artists (managers, producers and performers) setting a new standard for live music management. The incentive for managers will be to ensure that they are representing the highest quality calibre of performers and delivering the best possible performance. The incentive for performers is to provide formal progression routes whereby they can find more work.

Please note: while we are happy to offer advice on artist promotion, we are not an agent, as we work with artists on a more microcosmic scale. If you are looking for agent representation, we recommend Band on the Wall as caterer for your needs www.bandonthewall.org

Digital

Digital Documentation &
​Development.

A picture can say 1,000 words. The best promotional tool that an artist or ensemble needs is a good, stock bank of audio, video and photo materials.

Many producers are often, rightly so, busy concentrating on the artistic and creative side of production. If you have a particular event that you would like to record, please get in contact. If you are interested in a more strategic or long-term digital documentation plan simply send us a list of your upcoming events, and we will do the rest.

We maintain a database of photographers, videographers and recording technicians based around the UK. We also offer Logic mastering and iMovie presentations.
