Soundtracks and compositions are often loaded with musical clichés. It’s time for something different! Music concrète is an ear-catching composition technique which blurs the line between sound and music. Every sound is unique and fresh. As a result, the technique has found contemporary resurgence in film, television, animation and game soundtracks. The fascinating and original sounds are also perfect for revitalising all styles of electronic music, including Downtempo, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electronica, House, Techno, Trance, and Urban. Music Concrète FX is a striking collection of exclusive and captivating acousmatic sounds. A variety of sound processing techniques (such as granular synthesis, phase vocoding, and dynamic interpolation) have been employed to transform recorded natural environments into unique sonic landscapes that experiment with psychoacoustic phenomena. These innovative sounds will take your music far beyond the limitations imposed by overused synthesiser patches and FX.
Most musicians count themselves lucky to make money at a career they love. But income means taxes, and taxes can lead to many questions. What exactly counts as income? What can you write off? What happens if you get audited? In this music business course, author Rich Stim covers the most important tax issues for musicians. He starts with the basics: determining if music is a hobby or a business for you and how that affects your deductions. He then discusses money and the sources that determine gross income. From there, he shows the items you can deduct from your gross income—mileage, studio spaces, touring expenses, and other miscellaneous deductions—that can add up to big savings. Next, he covers the different tax rules for individual musicians, bands, general partnerships, LLCs, and corporations, and explains how to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) when you need one. Finally, Rich navigates through the tax forms, including Form 1040, Schedule A, Schedule C, Schedule SE, Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Form 4562, Form 8829, and Form 2016, and provides advice on hiring a tax preparer or going the DIY route with tax software.
