Last year we hosted two retreats, on back to back weekends, in September.
This year we've decided to offer just one event, utilizing the elements that worked best from last year's events, as
well as several new presentations and speakers with new, cutting edge presentations, including a presentation on how to generate millions of Spotify streams, and also a session where you'll be able to pitch your tracks directly to a music supervisor. You'll get feedback about your tracks on the spot and potentially even sign a deal, if your tracks are strong enough. (Last year one of our attendees signed a deal on the spot!)
What's it all about?
The purpose of the Retreat is to educate the participants in the detailed step-by-step procedures necessary to create a radio-ready made for licensing album, and what steps to take to market and shop that album once it's completed. Gary Gray will have his full Home Studio set-up in the main studio control room, and will be mentoring participants in how to collaborate with Major Studios and
more importantly, how to get Major Studio quality production out of your Home Studio.
With A Twist!
This year we're really excited because we've added an extra twist to the event, which is that in addition to the retreat itself, everyone who attends will be performing on an album of original material that Gary and I have collaborated on. This is an original album that
Gary and I have already started pre-production on that we are specifically creating with licensing in mind.
But wait, there's more! In addition to performing on the album, everyone who attends will also be sharing in the royalties for any tracks that are licensed. Everyone who attends will perform on at least one track, and all of these tracks will be pitched to our contacts when the album is completed, in
December 2018. Any tracks that we end up licensing, we'll share the royalties with all of the performers on each track!
When: November 10th & 11th
Where: Love & Laughter Studios, Anaheim, CA
Interested?
Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?
Can you make it to Anaheim, CA on November 10th and 11th? This year is a little different in that we're only looking for ten people and there's a quick, online audition process. We're being a little more selective this year since everyone who attends is performing on our album. We already have three people that have signed up, so we're looking for
just seven more qualified musicians!
Audition Deadline - October 10th
If you can make it to California on November 10th & 11th for a two day long training on music production and music licensing AND perform on our upcoming album that we'll be actively pitching to licensing opportunities, head over to
https://www.htlympremium.com/retreat.html to fill out the application form between now and October 10th.
