ONErpm Launches Facebook App to Help Musicians Connect with and Sell Music to their Fans

By -

ONErpm.com announces the debut of its Facebook App, ONErpm, a robust social commerce application enabling musicians and labels to market and sell their music globally to fans right from their Facebook page. Artists can sell by territory, set pricing tiers, and offer free downloads in exchange for an email address. Emphasizing globality, ONErpm also supports multiple currencies and languages including English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The ONErpm application features a one-click install with no restriction on the number of albums, making it an ideal solution for artists or labels with large catalogs. Payment processing also occurs within Facebook (unless the user opts for PayPal) to make the experience seamless for the fan. ONErpm also boasts some impressive promotional features for the artist, including “fan-gating” whereby a listener is encouraged to “Like” an artist’s page before listening to the music; numerous sharing options; email list sign up; and listener comments.

One of ONErpm's most unique features is that a consumer can jump between various ONErpm artist pages on Facebook while keeping shopping cart information persistent. “Our focus is to help artists promote their brands and sell their music by harnessing the social media power of their fans,” says Matt Olim, CTO and Co-Founder of ONErpm (formerly, CTO and Co-Founder of CDNow). “We've built the ONErpm service so that it can become a fully integrated music store with a recommendation engine – all residing within Facebook.”

ONErpm is already working on the next release which will include even more social commerce features and customization options. “We’re constantly listening to our artists and labels and building that feedback into our product as fast as we can,” states Emmanuel Zunz, Company CEO and Co-Founder.

From Brazil to Brooklyn, prominent indie artists and record labels have selected ONErpm to power their Facebook pages with social commerce, including Hip Hop sensation Blitz the Ambassador (Brooklyn, NY), electro-cumbia pioneers Systema Solar (Colombia), and Brazilian Country music superstars Chitaozinho & Xororo. According to Blitz the Ambassador, “We’ve looked at many options for social commerce storefronts and we decided to work with ONErpm in the end because it provides a comprehensive way to manage our digital distribution across multiple platforms, and we’re truly excited about the options that will be available to us in the future – we’ve had a sneak peek.”

The Role of Music in Opera

By -
There are numerous books on the topic, and every composer, librettist, director, singer and audience member has their opinion as to what role the music should play in an opera. In a play without music, the words ought to support the meaning behind a character's actions. However, in the case of action movies, often times the action is what tells the story and there aren't words, just images to forward the plot. We might hear music to accompany action, build tension, but the action tells the story. Musicals tend to speak until the emotion of the moment just "has" to break out in song - unless it's something like "Mama Mia" where the dialog is the rails we travel on between songs; the songs themselves, written before the concept of the musical, are the focus of the production, while the story is secondary. Operas are a different beast. The music provides emotion to the words spoken, but it also plays the role of ambience when there is only action. In ...

Teaching Composition – What are we trying to achieve

By -
In the process of learning composition I have spent time with a number of instructors who have encouraged me to write twelve-tone, pitch-class, electro-acoustic and other forms of experimental techniques. No matter how much I might understand and appreciate the work of other composers in the genres, these are not forms of music I resonate with. They are simply not forms of music I listen to and I struggle with the idea of writing them. However, in a Master Class by Libby Larsen she made the comment, “Learn them all, because all forms of music have something to offer.” This I very much agree. There are elements of each of the above mentioned forms (and others) that I do resonate with. Berg’s Violin Concerto is a beautiful twelve-tone work, although it is possible to look at numerous sections of the music with a “tonal” analysis. Another composer friend, Gary Bachlund commented that using these techniques can narrow the choices for how to compose a piece of work. If you look at ...
