Sector Meeting New Music – about publishing your music
Ictus Ensemble
Is there still a future for CDs? Do we want to surf along on the vinyl revival? Embrace streaming or avoid it altogether? And how do we create a fair climate for artists? These and other questions will be addressed during the new music sector meeting at the Belgian Music Days.

16:45 Panel discussion: publishing music on cd, vinyl and through streaming
From idea to concept, from recording to release on CD, LP or an online platform. How do you proceed once you’ve planted the seed to release your music? These will be the themes we’ll discuss with our panelists who are members of an ensemble, composers or artists. We’ll search for good practices, try to identify pitfalls, and to find the key to successful partnerships. Or should you become your own publisher?
Panel members: Ann Eysermans, Gerrit Geerts, Bruno Letort en McCloud Zicmuse.
