Title: Planning a new business
Post by: AlanM on January 01, 2005, 06:56 PM NHFT
Hi all,
  I'm planning a new business in NH. Some of the people needed will be: web design/master, publicity, graphics artists, musicians, actors, scene designers, shippers, word processors, lyricists, sound techs for performance and recordings,and more. I am good friends with several authors who I hope will join in with us. The business will not be politics centered, but there will be opportunities to promote Liberty. More specifics will be forthcoming shortly. The whole idea is to start as a small company, with independent sub-contractors for specific projects and continue to grow. This could be a lot of fun. Your investment can be your time. I'm looking to see if there is any interest from the Liberty crowd. Send me an email here if you have an interest in something not the least bit mundane.

Could the graphics art work be done on a computer? Or is it physical art?

Will need both, actually. Things such as book cover design would be done on computer, I would assume, for printing. Also CDs. Posters possibly.

One other aspect will be audio books and training CDs. Does anyone have knowledge and/or recording equipment? Or know a good source for such?

My wife's voice teacher has a really nice recording studio.  Perhaps he'd let us use it... maybe for a fee?

Very interesting. I'm told Varrin does this type of thing too.

Alan here are a couple brainstorms regarding your audio production company idea....

The audio software that I have found most useful and least expensive is Acoustica....only about 20 bucks and  you can download a free demoware version from http://www.acoustica.com/      I am not an expert on setting up software and hardware for this kind of thing however.

I don't know what the market is like these days for audio production but I know my brother mentioned that some kind of change in copyright law or something has resulted in him getting a lot of new work as a writer of sheet music...so that's an area that is a growing industry.

I just got an email from my friend the playwright. I now have permission to distribute the play. Anyone who would like to read it can send me an IM with their email. The play is in PDF format so you need Adobe Acrobat Reader, or a similar PDF reader. It is a wonderful play. Fantastically funny, yet poignant. Beautiful language at times, with a real sense of humanity. Enjoy It!!!

P.S. Kat and Russell, I just sent it to your yahoo email.

The areas where I could help most would be lyrics and publicity.   I'm a pretty good songwriter.  I assume I could probably help with word processing too.

I've emailed my brother the film composer / sheet music writer and let him know what's up.

I can see our little group has lots of talents and abilities. Just what is needed. I'll be in touch with each of you further.
One other question: Who likes coffee?

Let me guess, you don't like coffee. Am I right?

Can't say I've tasted foot and ass, but otherwise agree with the sentiment.

It was nice to meet you Scott and Lori!!! Thanks for the pizza! It was also nice to finally meet Russell and Jim. And of course it was great to see Kat and Dada again. We are off and running on a great adventure. Mr. Quince can definitely look forward to great future.
