Featured Reviews
Digital Vista: Music Promotion Design Studio
Digital Vista specializes in what they call "Visual Promotions" which includes web
design, CD cover art and multimedia. In reviewing their portfolio we must say we were quite impressed! The artwork
presented all has a very personal, unique touch, with a visually stunning presentation. Digital's CD cover art
work would certainly make your CD stand out on the rack! Add'l services include computer illustration and graphics.
Highly recommended.
Musica Viva
At Musica Viva you'll find a collection of free sheetmusic in *.gif format. Featured instruments
include flute, violin, guitar and piano. You'll also find a number of choral and chamber arrangements. Primarily
classical and folk music, though you will find a other arrangements. Do check out Musica's Free Sheet Music Directory,
where you'll find a number of links to other sheet music sites separated into useful categories.
Orbit Music
Here is a finely crafted musicians community. Like many others, Orbit Music allows you the
artist to sell your independent release via their web site. Unlike many others however, Orbit Music sells custom
CDs to their visitors meaning visitors can mix and match songs from a number of CDs and Orbit will burn the CD
for them. Your royalties? 35¢ per track per CD sold. It's a great idea well implemented.
Score On-Line
Score On-Line, the "Electronic Score Publisher" features a respectable set of downloadable
sheet music in *pdf format for mulitple instruments. For the most part, Score's catalog is classical, featuring
scores by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Debussy, Faure, Liszt, Satie and others. One unique feature, if you
are an artist with your own sheet music, Score will publish your music on their site for free.
