[NewMusic] Fwd: Free Public Relations and Marketing Strategies Workshops

Tue May 20 19:50:59 PDT 2008

Okay, I'll bite

Here are things I would be interested in.

Teaching: Saxophone Multiphonics and extended techniques
Workshop: throat singing, work with people interested in throat singing to see if something intersting can be arrived at.
Workshop: low fi electronics, non notebook derived electronic sounds

I have studio that they could take place in.

Suggestion: how about setting it up along the lines of open studios and than try and pull general audience as well?

Rova has been try to build an audience for our Improv21 series which invites improvising musicians/composers to discuss improvisation in their work.  It has been a struggle to get much of an audience so I'm leary of how this will be put on without strong organizational support by someone.  Over the years, this has been tried, even with some funding and it's been great on content and sad on attendance.

eh, hype, media, pr, etc.etc.etc.

if past instances of salonery have proven futile in the past, we could
always book it as like a 6 week "information summit" or something -
offer 2 classes a week (morning/afternoon or something, lunch in the
middle), really plan it out to iron out any lacksadaysical
whathaveyous out of the system and throw something together that's
like beyond par. then let it simmer a bit and when the time seems
right, offer another string of classes/sessions, etc, - hopefully
building on the acclaim of the first round. if those go well, we plan
another string, if not, hey, we can all sit around and reminisce about
the first two sessions or something.

so, uh, show of hands - would anyone be interested in teaching
anything? would anyone be interested in hosting? cooking? making
sarcastic comments regarding some grammatical blunder tweezed from
this post? all hands on deck.

...cricket says chirp.
