Can anyone tell me what to do?!
I have almost finished recording my debutalbum and I don't have a clue how to release it yet... I'm getting frustrated! Do I have to have a recordcompany these days?! Or a manager?! Feels like it's "out of fashion" to go on that road.. Are you in the same position youself or can you just give me some advice. Please! Is internet the answer to my questions?

- Since the last two records we are doing everything by ourselves without a record company. We sell the records through our homepage, with direct mailings to our fans and through various different internet shops ( so far not in itunes but there are some companies who offer support to get the tunes on the various platforms). We don't sell millions of records but it's quite ok the way it is.

- I wish I knew how it`s done these days but I don`t. I can tell you one thing though, I`ll be the first to buy it. So when you release it give me a post.

- I'ts very difficult to get a record deal these days.
Record companies go for the Big Money (read britney spears, 50cent etc.)
A distribution deal can be a good alternative.
They can support you to get the album on iTunes and plug the album to the radio stations.(radio is powerfull)
Youtube, Myspace, Hyves, last FM etc. can be a way of distributing the music. -

- Hi. May I ask what you decided to do in the end? I ask because I'm an academic (as well as a musician) and I'm currently working on a research project examining the changes in the recording industry and digital distribution. I'd be really interested to know what you decided to do and why.

- dear mary jet;
as i understand it, most record company's want to see a body of work and serious sales figures, before they get interested. i really love your performance & atmospheric arrangements; and, i encourage you to not stress too much about this. i would not be in a rush to commit your career into long term contractual agreements. your producers are doing tasteful work. when opportunities present themselves; put faith in your own judgment.
i have my own production company and a website, www.beerweazl.com; with a link to indiepool.com, who handle my cd & digital internet sales. i only recently found a music publisher, "float street publishing"; run by a musical buddy, edteja.com, who is actively pursuing placing my tunes. i might never find a big record company who could care about what i do.
