How We Work
At the core of efolkMusic is a robust, comprehensive,
and interactive multimedia Web site that offers
- a large collection of music in digital format, thousands
of tracks from exceptional musicians available for promotional
use and purchase, for immediate download
- numerous streaming audio samples of various recordings
- extensive artist information, including discography and
performance schedules and reviews
- interactive databases of folk radio shows, festivals and
house concerts
- online folk music radio feed
- discussion forums
- services for artists, including online CD and MP3 sales
and folk radio CD distribution
Site visitors will discover music and artists of interest
by browsing features and musical genres, listening to music
and discussing topics in our forum. Part library, part living
museum, all in a highly accessible interactive online application.
eFolkMusic is the source for digitally stored
folk music. We
- digitize and distribute contemporary and historical recordings
- offer audio and video recordings for online purchase
- pay royalties to artists and encourage further
productions
- protect artists’ intellectual property
- develop educational materials to foster understanding
of and appreciation for folk music.
Most importantly, sales of recordings will generate royalties
paid to the artists and archivists allowing them to continue
to practice their art. And because efolkMusic
is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization, an even greater share
of the proceeds will be returned to those who create the music. |
