CMC Seeks Record Label Survey
The Contemporary Music Centre in Dublin is currently seeking tenders for the production of a report on the “feasibility of setting up an Irish recording label and/or download platform for specialist/non-commercial musics”. The aim of this study will be to examine the reasons behind the lack of availability of new recordings by Irish composers, and to determine if this shortfall can be addressed by the creation of a dedicated specialist label.
The report will include an analysis of current production of non-commercial recordings and available distribution outlets, research on international best practices in such recordings (and how these can be applied to an Irish context), Irish market analysis and an examination of the effectiveness (or otherwise) of online distribution technologies over traditional CD distribution.
More information can be found in the brief on the CMC site.
