1.T4 - ROLES. ¿Quién es Quién? - Curso Autogestión Musical "Derechos y Registros"
Introduction to Rights and Collective Management Societies
Understanding Authors and Composers
- The module introduces the roles of authors and composers, emphasizing the distinction between them as defined by SADAIC in their work registration bulletin.
- An author is someone who writes lyrics, while a composer creates music; however, one person can fulfill both roles.
Identifying the Artist
- The artist is identified as the individual whose name appears on music platforms like Spotify or physical media (e.g., cassettes).
- In this context, Anna is recognized as both the main artist and primary interpreter of her work.
Roles within Collaborations
- When multiple artists collaborate (e.g., Anna and Ángela), they share equal rights as primary interpreters if both are credited equally on the project.
- A band or group may have a collective name that represents all members equally, distinguishing them from session musicians who do not hold decision-making power.
Distinction Between Primary and Secondary Interpreters
- Primary interpreters are those who form part of a band or group, while secondary interpreters include session musicians or guest artists who perform but do not own rights to the project.
The Role of Producers in Music
Defining the Phonographic Producer
- The phonographic producer is crucial in music production; in this case, Anna acts as her own producer under her label.
- In a band setting, all members can be considered equal producers if they collectively manage their projects.
Relationship with Record Labels
- A record label may vary from being an independent entity to a large corporation; it can acquire rights for varying durations through licensing agreements.
