Get to Know the Ins and Outs of Using Music Online with accelerando.media
The pandemic meant lost opportunities for many artists but also created new ones, particularly for online activities. But with new opportunities come new challenges.
–
How to get the rights to musical works? How to copyright new works? What platforms are available? Can distribution be limited?
–
accelerando.media is a resource to provide answers to some of these questions and others raised during interviews with people from coast-to-coast.
Designed primarily for individual musicians and small ensembles, this resource can be useful to any artist wanting to incorporate music into their work, whether you are a dancer, theatre artist or performer.
This webinar will cover the origins of the project, its evolution and then a brief walk through the website. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the presentation. Please note that this webinar will be recorded.
