SOUNDS FROM THE CIRCLE XI – 2019
from Suzanne Doucet and Beth Hilton
We are pleased to announce that we are working on our next compilation SOUNDS FROM THE CIRCLE Vol. XI - 2019. If everyone provides their materials on time, we can have the new compilation ready to be manufactured in March 2019 and promoted by April 2019; it’s very important to submit all of your materials ASAP to avoid delays.
As in past years, we will manufacture this promotional album of MP3s on CD in an eco-sleeve with a 4 color booklet, and distribute it to targeted audiences throughout the year. You will also receive 25 copies for your own use, and be encouraged to join in our valuable cross-promotional social media efforts. Each year, we up the ante, and this year we will add new platforms and new accounts.
Participation: Those of you who participated in our last ten projects are familiar with the process explained below; thank you for all of the amazing music you’ve shared! Upon final production, you will receive 25 copies of the MP3 CD for your own personal use, to sell at your concerts or to use as giveaways. It will be very beneficial for you to have your album or single released & distributed on all digital platforms in advance of the compilation’s release date, since we will promote playlists and links to your digital sales channels, which can create additional revenues for each participating artist. When consumers link to listen to our playlists, or buy individual tracks from participating artists, each artist will get paid directly via their aggregators. By the way, if your album is not yet complete, CD Baby allows you to release a single track in digital format which can be distributed on all digital outlets worldwide.
For those who are new to this process, please send us a link to a track (or 2 more) so that we can listen and pre-approve. After approval please send materials requested and payment via paypal to circle@newagemusic.com
Timeline: Our goal is to manufacture by March 2019 and start promoting the compilation by April 2019.
- November 30th 2018: The “early bird” fee is $290 (includes Paypal processing fee) - December 31st, 2018: Final Deadline (price is $375 without exception)
- The final deadline for all “accepted materials” will be January 15th, 2019.
We are looking forward to making our 11th Sounds from the Circle compilation the best yet!
Peace and blessings,
Suzanne & Beth
