Rick Snoman has over 30 years’ experience in the production of electric dance music. He has released under various names including AeonSoul, Phiadra, NeuroKode and Ascii, and has remixed professionally for numerous international artists. He has now turned his wealth of experience into a bible for producers of all calibres; Rick’s ‘Dance Music Manual’ is currently on its 4th edition and offers essential advice step by step, covering every aspect of an electronic artists career.

 

Some of the chapters of the Dance Music Manual include the science of frequency and amplitude, the theory of sound design, composing different elements of a song, recording and editing vocals and giving an in-depth overview of each sub-genre and how to create authentic-sounding tracks.

 

Along with all of the above, this updated edition features a chapter dedicated to Publishing and Promotion, an absolute essential for any musician in the digital age. Authored by PR Specialist Matt Caldwell, the chapter goes into detail about how to improve and boost an online presence with imagery, biographies and co-ordinated social media channels. It also provides a valuable guide on how to write and promote press releases that will ensure any new releases or mixes get the attention they deserve.

 

As with previous editions of this book, the new and updated 4th edition will be a sure staple in the educational diets of producers and DJs across the world.
