Event Details

I’m either "the grumpiest man in indiepop" (Jimmy Tassos, Matinee Records) or "one crazy man" (Marianthi Makra, Atomic Beat), take your pick.

I run a record label from my kitchen table in my spare time called Fortuna POP! By my conservative estimates I've lost a six figure sum over the last 15 years. This session is for anyone who wants to release records, whether you want to be the next Suge Knight or if you're just in a band and want to self-release your material. I'll be telling people how not to manufacture records, how not to get them distributed and how not to promote them. Let's face it, the "here's three chords now go and form a band" bit is the easy part, getting the music into the world and heard is the difficult part.

How Not to Run an Indie Label…gyda Sean Price (Fortuna Pop!) 

Rwy un ai'r "dyn mwyaf blin yn indiepop" (Jimmy Tassos, Matinee Records) neu "wallgofddyn" (Marianthi Makra, Atomic Beat), dewiswch chi.

Rwyf yn rhedeg label recordio o’r enw Fortuna POP! oddi ar fwrdd y gegin yn fy amser rhydd. Yn ôl fy amcangyfrifon ceidwadol rwyf wedi colli swm chwe ffigur dros y 15 mlynedd diwethaf. Mae’r sesiwn hon ar gyfer unrhyw un sydd eisiau rhyddhau recordiau. Efallai eich bod eisiau bod y Suge Knight nesaf neu efallai’n chwarae mewn band ac eisiau rhyddhau eich deunydd eich hun. Byddaf yn dweud wrth bobl sut i beidio â chynhyrchu recordiau, sut i beidio â’u dosbarthu a sut i beidio â’u hyrwyddo. Wynebwch y ffeithiau, mae’r rhan "dyma dri chord – ffwrdd â chi i ffurfio band" yn ddigon hawdd. Cael y gerddoriaeth allan i’r byd mawr fel y gall pobl wrando arni yw’r gwaith anodd.
