What kind of content do you accept for your site?
We accept any style of music or music-related merchandise that is created or performed by individual artists or ensembles in which at least one member (within reason) is of Lithuanian heritage.
What if I put out an LP or a cassette back in the day? Can I still get it on your site?
Yes, absolutely! One of our goals in creating this site is to make music that’s been lost to brown cardboard boxes in garages available again. We have the technology to convert LP’s and cassettes into digital format. If you don’t have any of the original graphics, we’ll do our best to recreate them from the cover itself. You have the option to sell the LP’s or cassettes, provided you still have a store of them (minimum of 10), otherwise the files will be available for download only…unless, that is, you find with the demand that you’d like to put out a CD version…
In what format should I send you my graphics?
EPS, JPG, TIF, PNG, PDF files are all acceptable. The higher the resolution (300 dpi), the better. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign files, are even better; leave your artwork in layers, so that we can more easily separate it when we make the widescreen graphic. If your CD comes with a booklet that you would like to make available digitally for customers who purchase the download version, we can help set this up if you do not already have a version of the booklet in PDF. That said, since our goal is to provide music that has been created in the past as well as the present available to the broader public, we will take anything you have and realize that we might be talking about different availabilities for archival versus more current material.
What happens to the proceeds if an artist is deceased or a particular group no longer exists?
If an artist is deceased or a particular group has been dissolved, all proceeds are donated to charitable or other organizations (e.g., schools, conservatories, ensembles) that are of Lithuanian heritage and of a musical nature. In other words, proceeds are fed back into the system to foster the efforts of current Lithuanian artists. Donation decisions are made by the deceased’s next of kin or by an ensemble’s then director.
Are you going to have a Lithuanian language version of the site?
Yes, this is definitely on our to-do list. A quality dual language site requires careful planning and labor that is simply outside of our capacity at the present moment.
