These are indeed trying times. Covid 19 has changed the world and the way we live in a matter of weeks. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all people working on the frontline of this immense battle.
In our own little world, Covid 19 means that our artists are all without work since the lockdown. All concerts have been cancelled and the academies where some of our musicians teach are closed.
We had to cancel all planned recording dates for this spring.
But there's a little bit of good news; the 2019 royalty payments from Sound Liaison to the musicians collaborating with the label again betters the previous years..
Sound Liaison is collaboration between engineer, producer and musicians, which means we share the profit made equally.
The reason you cannot find our albums in high resolution on streaming services like Spotify, Amazon and Tidal is that we want to pay our artists their fair share, after all they are the ones creating the music. It does mean we have to remain a small “boutique” label. But at least we are in complete control of our music and the earnings made.
(Sportify currently pays musicians $0.00318 per stream).
We have been very fortunate to receive a number of rather positive reviews:
RECORD REVIEWThis recording doesn’t take you to the recording studio. Even better, it brings the recording studio to your listening room. Audiophile style
The result is spectacular, with a warm, generous ambience you can almost reach out and touch each instrument. HIFI NEWS AND
Sound Liason’s DXD sampler, The Visual Sound, offers some of the most realistic sounding recordings I’ve heard. Audio Express
"It is a wonderful album. Scholten's compositions are more intimate than ever. 'Volkskrant'
With an engineer of the capabilities of Frans Rond, mixing is no longer needed. The careful placement of the musicians and the control of group balance makes "Don't You Cry" one of the best-sounding "live in the room" audiophile recordings I've heard.
