About the project

Through this project we aim to pick the best compositions and master recordings.
Our goal is to produce and release an outstanding professional and elegant commercial release.

The final album will be distributed worldwide on a high quality edition and available for streaming and digital download on iTunes and many other platforms (iTunes, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Deezer, Rdio and so on…).

What’s the reason of this call?

We would like to develop a new catalogue focusing on Contemporary and Modern Music.

We want to discover and promote new Contemporary Composers which work has not been commercially released on a full CD or digitally yet.

The selected works will be included in the release and will receive:
• Professional mastering of the album.
• Professional design of the booklet and of the cover artwork.
• Liner notes and texts for the booklet.
• Licensing and Copyright clearance.
• Full contracts and agreements with the winning composers and artists.
• Manufacturing of the Cd.
• Barcodes, Isrc codes.
• Worldwide distribution.
• Promotion, Advertising, Press release coverage.
• Each winner will get 30 copies of the CD.
• The winners will keep the copyright of the work.
• Every winner will get a share of the sales of the album.

To ensure the highest quality and for the above services, the expenses and the cost of the production of the release will be partially covered by RMN Music. The remaining part will be partially extended to the winners. This allows for the winners the access to a commercial release at a fraction of usual costs.
