Grassroots Community Budget recording studio

Grassroots Support of local Hamburg Artists

Just a reminder to all of you out there that focus of our project is a community based recording studio. This is the main focus of of our fund-raising drive over the next few months :)) 

Who do we want to help?

Those who don't have the resources to take thier music to the world. Those short on cash, tied by family financial commitments, stuck in the same practice/street playing cycle. Those who find it hard to get heard and seen. Those who can't get a pratice room, who find it hard to keep a band going due to lack of resources. We simply want to help those people who want a chance to take thier music more seriously or who do already and can't get a foot on the ladder.

What do we want to create?

A budget recording studio to produce demo recordings for hard up musos and street musicians who normally wouldn't have access to these opportunities. Any genre is possible, from blues and soul to singer-songwriters or hip hop, though this is not really suited to say... death metal bands.

How would it work?

1. We set up a first meeting with the prospective artist who shows us the work they want to record, either played for us or recorded on their phone. We don't want to spoon feed people we want to enable them, thus some initiave on their part is necessary.
2. The artist will be asked to cover a Public Domain piece of music in their own style as part of honouring the heritage The Jelly Roll Factory is founded on.
3. Once they have done that we will arrange a studio appointment of 2 to 3 hours. The onus is on the artist to make the most of the time allotted and to be ready and professional.
4. There will be a token charge of xyz€. People take things more seriously when there is even a small amount of money in the game.
5. When the demo of 3, 4 or 5 songs is complete they will be given the master copy on CD rom or on thier USB stick as mp3 files. We will not store back ups unless asked to by the artist.
