RouteNote has been lucky enough to partner with Mininova to offer some of our video content to the 100 million people who use the site every month. Mininova is the worlds largest bittorrent client in which receives over 800 million pageviews every month.
One of the first videos we have added to Mininova is The Peoples String Foundation – Red Dress Woman in Black. The video can be currently viewed on our YouTube channel, but if you want to download the video to place on your computer or ipod here is the link to the torrent on Mininova.
Enjoy!
In the future RouteNote will be adding more videos and other content to Mininova and other bittorrent sites to help drive promotion of our artists. Stay tuned for more freebies coming soon.
A club tune in the classic mode, this track features heavily sampled beats and housey vocals. There’s a marked difference in feel between the two versions available, the club mix featuring (as you might expect) a much heavier beat and less focus on the vocals. If you’ve ever been to an Ibiza beach party you might like this…
Really good video recordings from gigs or live sessions are great for getting your fans to do your promotion work for you. Videos get shared around on youtube and other sites, and can spark interest in people, driving them to your website or myspace.
For the wildly creative and highly ambitious there’s always the possibility of making a video with the intention of sending it viral. If you get it right it’ll be a massive boost, but getting the tone right, and having that brilliant idea that motivates people to send a clip on to their friends is tricky. For inspiration, look at things like OK GO’s treadmill video, the diet coke and mentos series, The Flight Of The Conchords entire body of work, and then go and do something entirely different.
Once you’ve made your videos, make sure they’re spread over as many places as possible. This help search engines track you down, and it’s like scattering bait all over the internet, the more breadcrumbs you drop, the more people will follow the trail back to your website.
There are tools out there to make your life easier while distributing video content. The most important one to know about is TubeMogul.com. This site will automatically upload your content to all of it’s partners, YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Revver, Yahoo! Video, and all the rest. This means that with one upload you can get your video to a load of sites, instead of slogging round with separate uploads.
We’ve done a few video sessions ourselves – they’re up on our website at http://routenote.com/blog, and on all the other places that TubeMogul can help you put yours, as well as Facebook, myspace… you get the idea.
Andrew Bate can’t bear being compared to Jeff Buckley. It’s a huge endorsement of his musical, lyrical and performing abilities that he hears the reference so often, but the work, talent and feeling that go into his songs and shows are borrowed from no-one.
Andy is currently working in the theatre, writing and arranging dramatic scores at the same time as developing his career as a performing artist. Hopefully he’ll treat us all to an album soon, but until then you can find more of his music on his myspace page or through iTunes.
Recently the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists play their song ‘The Great Money Trick’ for RNTV. We were going to put it onto Brightcove as normal, but still havent got around to it, so sit back and enjoy it on YouTube instead!

Here at RouteNote we are trying to help artists get noticed in the big wide world that is music on the internet. Currently, the state of music online is a little all over the place.

RouteNote TV will be showcasing a live performance every month from one of our artists and placing their recordings onto our site.
