Nice to hear from you again!
Yes, dis...Hi Orest,<br /><br />Nice to hear from you again! <br /><br />Yes, distribution. We've been down this road before and unfortunately not much has changed, despite the advent of accessible new technology.<br /><br />Distribution is an industry, and as in any industry, doing it well requires trained professionals.<br /><br />You know as well as I do, when it comes to professionals doing their job, be it a concert pianist, a computer programmer, or a hair stylist, the good ones just make it look easy. But in reality, doing it right requires considerable financial resources, skill and experience.<br /><br />And yes, I agree that about the only way musicians can make a living making music now, in the era of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Tail" rel="nofollow">The Long Tail</a>, is like in the old days, i.e. live performances. Gone are the days of the blockbuster!Pawlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362158731666165458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21847606.post-91382977724082471412010-07-23T17:41:12.072-07:002010-07-23T17:41:12.072-07:00As always there is no Ukrainian distribution syste...As always there is no Ukrainian distribution system for Ukrainian music outside the borders of Ukraine.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago I went to Zolotij Klen in Acton and the one music vendor was not even promoting the bands that were playing at the Festival. Go figure.<br /><br />The only way to get new and cutting edge Ukrainian music is to go online to a couple of sites that I know of and they offer pretty much anything that you may want. You can let your conscious decide whether it is right or wrong.<br /><br />Ukrainian musicians do not make their living by the sales of CDs. It is done on the basis of live performance just like it used to be in the old days.Oresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075817444426765280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21847606.post-14489559806739951132010-07-22T19:18:46.717-07:002010-07-22T19:18:46.717-07:00Well you are always welcome to plug ukemonde on th...Well you are always welcome to plug ukemonde on this site, Roman. :-)<br /><br />I suspect the issue was probably not "politics" so much as lack of a publicist to make sure all bases are covered. You and I both know how hard it is to self-promote. Never enough hours in the day! <br /><br />However, the more of us who do our little bit for ourselves and each other, the faster and farther good info like this will get around.<br /><br />At any rate, you know I am hugely in favour of "shameless self-promotion." :-)Pawlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362158731666165458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21847606.post-43439718745900969382010-07-22T17:26:19.151-07:002010-07-22T17:26:19.151-07:00There is a website also Paulette

At any rate, it's not for us to judge.<br /><br />Personally I think it's great that the CD was made, and is available and easy to purchase. There are some wonderful CDs that aren't available anymore ... and can't be bought for love nor money!<br /><br />As for sound track previews, entire tracks of great CDs can be heard on Nash Holos ... along with commentary. :-)Pawlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362158731666165458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21847606.post-21822115545433039272010-07-20T18:37:14.156-07:002010-07-20T18:37:14.156-07:00Again, I am sure promo of this CD would go much sm...Again, I am sure promo of this CD would go much smoothly providing access to sound tracks short previews.Stanislavnoreply@blogger.com
