Kompoz Launches Collaborative Music Publishing

Bookmark and Share
Website: http://www.kompoz.com/
Kompoz.com, the music collaboration site, has launched an innovative online publishing feature, which allows musicians to self-publish completed collaboration projects, while retaining all rights to the original work. Musicians can use Kompoz to launch a collaboration project, work with other musicians around the world to complete the song, and they can now publish that song and offer customized licensing options for use in films, TV, and other commercial projects.

"We're pioneering the process we're calling 'collaborative publishing'", said Raf Fiol, founder of Kompoz.com. "Each musician that contributed to a completed collaboration is able to 'vote' on the licensing structure, and each shares equally in any royalties earned. It's totally self-managed by the musicians."

Kompoz members can choose to offer published songs for commercial use, extending the Creative Commons license attached to each song. Kompoz will auto-generate a custom PDF-based license agreement with pricing options and usage channels defined by the musicians. The license offers musicians the best of both worlds: a Creative Commons license to protect the musician while offering sharing and personal-use rights to listeners, and a commercial-use agreement to allow musicians to monetize their work.

Kompoz has announced a distribution deal with BIGSTAR.tv, the global headquarters for independent films. Beginning November 2009, BIGSTAR will begin streaming published Kompoz songs to its community, allowing film producers to quickly and easily license the music for use in their feature films, TV projects, and webisodes. Published songs are also automatically streamed on Kompoz.com's Finished Songs page, on Boxee, and on the Kompoz streaming audio iPhone App.

About Kompoz

Kompoz is an online platform for crowd-sourcing music creation, from song conception, to recording and mixing, and to publishing. Kompoz is an online social network designed for music lovers to create songs with others from around the world. Kompoz members span over 120 countries and all 24 time-zones. Kompoz is a music collaboration site with features that enable distributed music creation. Meaning this: songs are created in layers -- drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals, etc. But very few people play all of these instruments, so it's hard to create a complete song unless you're part of a band. Kompoz provides the platform to create songs with a bass player in Sweden, a drummer in Ohio, and a guitar player in Kalamazoo. The world is your virtual on-demand recording studio.
