Dear all,
Please come to this unique and important event organized by the Society for Composers and Lyricists. It will be a rare opportunity to address many of the key issues that we face as NY-based composers, particularly the Union/non-Union question. It will provide practical, constructive information for the established or emerging composer to help navigate the options and the changing landscape of live recording in NY. We have put together a great panel who will offer their first-hand experience through major picture and indie film, television and stage. If you do, or hope to, record a score in New York, absolutely do not miss this! RSVP details are in the flyer below - it will fill up fast.
All best,
Joel

How can you afford the perfect musicians you need for your next project? What are the available options to record live musicians for film, TV and video game scores in NY? What new AFM contracts are in place for different budgets? Union Residuals - how much are they in real terms, and who pays them? What about clients who insist on buy-outs - are there incentives that could change their outlook?
Drawing from a wealth of real-world experiences, a panel of New York's industry experts will demystify these key questions and help you make informed decisions for your next projects.

I certainly would if I was in NYC at this time, but I cannot afford the time for a trip right now. I am certain this will be an excellent event and I urge everyone in the area to go!
