Hello, Just wanted to let you all know about a new music collaboration site that recently launched: http://www.recordtogether.com We help songwriters collaborate with studio musicians. Basically, a songwriter creates a contest looking for a particular addition to his song. Studio Musicians are then able to upload their additions to the song for the chance to win a "bounty". If the songwriter likes what you wrote, he has the option to buy your recording and you get money sent to your Paypal account! If anybody here has a nice keyboard/sampler, I'm looking for a clarinet track for this song. The winner will get the $35.00 bounty. http://www.recordtogether.com/wanted/clarinet/tblizz/the-incredible-journey/458 Send me a message through the website if you have any questions. Thanks, -Mike
I don't understand, do you mean we must compose "additions" for other people songs? So, we must compose or play a given sheet/midi?
Good question! The songwriter will post a note about what they are looking for, and you just play what you think sounds good. No sheet music written out - this is up for creative interpretation.
So, in other words, you co-compose a song, and if it goes on to sell a million, you get the princely sum of $35, yeh? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, you are correct. Although to be fair, I don't think I've ever heard of a case of session musicians being paid royalties. It's more of an opportunity for musicians to earn some cash and gain exposure through publishing. Hope that makes sense.
