Music Promoters Making Money

Music Promoters who work with mega stars who sell out huge venues can make some serious money. But music promoters can easily find themselves working all day, every day, and only getting deeper into debt. Many music promoters have a day job that supports their promotion job. For becoming music promoters, a clear understanding of the money involved is needed, and there is a need to make deals with bands and venues very carefully. For any given show, music promoters’ expenses include: Venue rental, Advertising (posters, newspaper/magazine advertisements, etc), Backline rentals, Accommodation for the band, Rider and Payment for the band.

There are ways of mitigating some of the expenses involved in promoting, and for staying in this for the long haul, cutting costs as much as possible is needed. For instance, the band/label/agent is required to print posters and send them, instead of taking that cost on self. Accommodation should not be provided if the band’s show is not going to generate enough money to cover the costs, or if it is must, the band ought to be put up at the house.

Some of the expenses can also be cut down by working under a door split deal arrangement, instead of paying the band a set fee. That way, one can make all of the money back first, and then the band gets paid if the individual gets paid. Bigger artists will balk at this kind of deal and will want a set fee – paying a set fee is fine, and even ideal, when working with a band who will sell enough tickets to recoup the costs. But if the band putting on with, is just building a name for themselves, a door split deal is fair for everyone. It should be ensured that the band try to sell some merchandise at the show to give some extra money. The truth is that many shows lose money, especially the shows featuring new bands. As long as no one is withholding earnings from the band, it is perfectly OK to set up the shows so that one can lose as little as possible. Most up and coming bands will recognize that and will work. After all, if one succeeds, they succeed. Being fair to both parties – including self – is the name of the game.

Indian Music and Its Different Forms

When it comes to the Indian music then the Indian music is as old as the religion itself. It has its origination in the Hindu beliefs, views and the Vedic philosophy. Hindu music is classified into three types:

•    Classical music
•    Devotional music and
•    Other music genres.

Classical Music:
Classical music is a complete music structures with 12 tones and 7 basic swaras like the most melodious Sa, Re, Ga,  Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Sa. The Indian Classical music is monophonic, formed by a single melodious raga and rhythmically followed by the beat notes or Tala. Each melody revolves around different moods or seasons and they are even based on the gender characteristics. Thus ragas are voices methods of adopting the self to the different moods or behavior patterns of the day. The basic philosophy behind the Indian Classical music is the reach to the main goal of self realization through meditation. It is based on Ragas and beat rhythms.  Ragas are one of the  acoustical methods to evolve one self to the moods and the different spheres of life is a way of meditation aiming to draw  oneself closer to the nature. These ragas have such innate power that these compositions meant as an invitation to the rain have actually poured the unexpected showers.

The classical music has two basic forms:
1.    Hindustani classical music &
2.    Carnatic music

1.    Hindustani classical music: This originated during the 13th and the 14th century A.D. in the northern India. It has its origination from the Vedic philosophy and the Hindu religion traditions; it has some resemblance from the Persian music and the Moghuls music. The version starts with an introductory with a short 2 minute aalap to a long 30-40 minute piece. Rhythmically the music becomes fast and it is then joined by the percussionist. The musical instruments utilized to make these tunes more melodious are Tabla, Sitar, Taanpura, Flute, Shehnai and Sarangi.

2.    Carnatic music has originated in the Southern India. The ragas in this music are short and fast paced.  They start with versions seeking Varnam, followed by asking blessings. Carnatic music has a most theoretic and rigid musical structure.  They have ragams, rhythm beats followed by the raga theme.  Carnatic music is more vocal centric. The instruments used in the Carnatic music are Veena, Mridangam, Kanjira and Violin.

Devotional music
Kirtans and Bhajans are oral versions of musical songs devoted to God. Kirtans have their origin from the Vedic traditions; Bhajans on the other hand are more words oriented expressing devotion to God.  Kirtans are carried on along with the musical instruments and Bhajans are sung with profound devotion with the intention of moving more closer to the inner self. 

Other Musical Genres:
The other musical genres include the folk music, regional music. The regional music is the music which is played across the different states of India in different languages. Folk music are played along with the different set of musical instruments.
