Adagio Music Inc. is moving with the times. With the changes in the music business has come a re-focusing on what works and what does not. Adagio Music, while continuing to be a label and publisher for artists such as Mythos, is re-tooling to become a full service music consulting company. Adagio is able to provide full “business and legal services”, marketing and promotion, online distribution through IODA, grant application drafting, registrations with royalty generating organizations and other services needed for forward thinking artists, labels and managers.

Kurt Dahl has recently joined the organization and we are pleased to be able to offer two knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to help anyone in the music business navigate the sometimes bewildering mine field that is today’s music business.

One of the most important and affordable agreements a band or group of musicians can have is a Band Agreement. Whether you are just starting your career, or are on the verge of taking things to the next level, you need this simple agreement.

It deals with: who owns the songs, who owns the band name, how decisions are made, how money is split, and much more.

Many of the legal disputes that come across our desk could have been avoided with a solid Band Agreement.

Have a look at Kurt’s article on Band Agreements here to find out more.

Mythos has been described as ambient yet groove oriented, ethereal yet grounded, and otherworldly. The Canadian duo first achieved international acclaim with their self-titled 1998 Higher Octave Music/Virgin Records debut, combining electronic sounds with an eclectic range of ancient and modern flavors.
