Raise Your Game – Graham Gardiner 'Making money but not losing your soul'

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0400

We are told that we need to find a new way to do business. That the old greedy, Michael Douglas in Wall Street, way is the past. That the economic crisis is due to our banks being more like William Hill that William Hill is. We need a new way. The idea that you need to choose between doing good and making money is rubbish. You can do both. And companies have been doing so since the beginning of capitalism. You don't need to be a social enterprise or a charity. You just need to be yourself. This session explores how you can bring your humanity into your business, do good for society and unashamedly have profit making as a driver. – Download the full Raise Your Game programme here.

If you are a music producer, sound engineer or music industry professional then come along to the Midlands MPG Speakeasy networking event. This event is free entry. Conceived and supported by producers and engineers who are passionate about all aspects of creating and recording music, it provides a community for us to share our collective experiences and collaborate with other like-minded people. The Speakeasy is an MPG social event, which is held from 6pm til 10pm on every 1st Wednesday of the month at Antenna. There is no particular agenda - just a way for people to get together and chat about the music industry, or any other topic, for that matter. If you are free, and want to have a couple of drinks with some like-minded people, you are very welcome to join us. You don’t have to be a member of the MPG to come along, but you do have to have an active involvement in the music industry. Membership of the MPG is open to all producers, engineers, mixers, re-mixers,programmers, sound designers, mastering engineers, students, enthusiasts – everyone who shares our delight in and dedication to the creation of music and audio. The Music Producers Guild welcomes you all to its web-site, a forum for debate and networking, with access to the latest news, and announcements of up-coming MPG special events.? There is a reference section, the Knowledge Bank, which contains a vast amount of information which we are sure you will find useful. The Members' Directory is openly available to search for and contact producers, engineers, mixers, etc. ?? Formed as a Guild rather than a Trade Association, MPG has no party political agenda, but does represent the community to Government so that their voice is heard. We actively engage with other music industry organisations, to develop a dialogue about and exert an influence on matters of mutual interest and benefit to their members and the industry. They also encourage and support discussion and development within the community through various events, sub groups such as the Mastering, Pro Tools and Logic user groups and their participation in UK Music and JAMES, the jointly owned education wing of MPG. Who Can Join? Membership is open to all producers, engineers, mixers, re-mixers, programmers, sound designers, mastering engineers, students, enthusiasts – everyone who shares the delight in the possibilities of music and audio. MPG have tried to structure membership to reflect this attitude of inclusion by offering a tier of
membership to suit all levels of involvement and budget whilst respecting and honouring the commitment, dedication and creativity those at the top of the profession display. A quote from Paul Rodgers, Editor, BBC 6 Music: "I think the MPG makes a very valuable statement about primacy of the producer's craft and its benefits at any stage in an artist's development."
