PAUL SANTA MARIA'S HANDBIRD RECORDS: ALL SERVICES
Original Music Library
Releasing all material by Paul Santa Maria, including over 300 tracks not available on the internet from any service in so many styles that I probably have your needs covered already. You can buy these existing tracks for $5.00 (without extra editing.)
Remote Recording OF Tracks
In addition to the crazy guitar and bass skills of Paul, we rep keyboardists, bassists, and a live drummer who records in his personal studio with 12 separate mics! His playing can be heard on "Fast Girls 2021" and "A Happy Cajun Song".
Graphic Arts: CD Design, Posters, Etc.
Please check the Trickphoto.com page on this site for a huge number of graphic art projects, logos, branding, cd design, poster design.
Whether you need a full design or just retouches to pictures or artwork we can do it all. We have many happy musical clients!
Remote Bass and Guitar Lessons
How many people do you know who have authored their own book on guitar and bass / music theory instruction, sold over 1500 copies, have it owned by famous guys like Larry Coryell and Mark Egan and never had a return or request for a refund? That's right, you probably don't, unless you buy my book!
Note to aspiring artists:
While we can do all the things listed above, we do NOT distribute music, but we can tell you how to proceed (free advice: just go to CDBaby.com and sign up for either a PRO single or Pro cd. PRO stands for Performance Rights Organization (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC etc.) and you should create an account for membership with one of them first and then do your uploads to CDBaby. You WANT PRO as you want royalties and mechanical payments from legal reports of the use of your music for streams, placements in videos or films, etc. Other services don't provide this service and TRUST ME, you don't want to try it yourself and they do it for you with over 80 organizations all over the world. I don't think LANDR or anybody else offers this service, so that makes CDBaby the place to go and I do NOT work for them...but all my internet releases have been taken care of by them, including collecting my publishing rights. (To be a publisher, you have to register with your state, turn in quarterly tax statements ...ugh.) Do some research first on all of this.
