This class is all about how bands (and any musical collaborators) work together.
We will start with talking through what bands "have." That is more than just the PA that they bought together - it is also all their intellectual property - like songs, albums, any recordings, the band name, logos, flyers, and more.
Then we will look at a typical band agreement (I'll give you a copy to use with your own band), and I'll walk you through every step of the agreement so you fully understand what is being asked.
Here is a list of some of the questions we will answer:
· Band Agreements (Contracts)
· Real Property Bands Own
· Intellectual Property Bands Own
· Copyrights and Trademarks
· Operating Agreements
· Right to Use the Band Identity
· Publishing
· Email Lists, Social Media Accounts, and Contacts
· Firing a Band Member
· Adding a Band Member
· Valuation of a Band
· Financing a Band
· Taking Out Loans
· Investors and Bands
· Splitting Profits
· Splitting Losses
· Breaking Up The Band
· And much, much more!
Below you will find an overview of the Learning Outcomes you will achieve as you complete this course.
J. Anthony Allen is a creator of things. Sometimes they’re related to music, but not always. He uses his background as a composer to inform whatever he sets his mind to creating, whether it’s music for an orchestra, a business, an app, a new electronic instrument, or ideas for his next composition (ask him about sailing the Arctic in nonstop sunlight).
While he was born and raised in Michigan and now lives in Minneapolis, Allen and his work have traveled the world, covering most of Europe in the process. He’s written music for almost any medium you can imagine, from film and the Minnesota Orchestra to TV, radio, and video games.
As a creator, he wants to push forward with a purpose. He founded Slam Academy in Minneapolis because he wanted to make electronic music education accessible and affordable. To a similar end, he wrote a book called Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers. Allen is all about connecting the dots, and using one area of his expertise to inform another.
Which is why he’s a: composer, producer, songwriter, engineer, sound designer, DJ, remix artist,
multimedia artist, performer, inventor, Ableton Live Certified Trainer, entrepreneur, and Assistant Professor of Music, Media, and Management at Augsburg University.
