Recorded music productions: This is the name of Pro Helvetia's new funding instrument, which combines the previous jazz label funding and pop work grants.
Swiss musicians, bands or independent labels can apply. The application should cover the complete production of an album. This includes the development of a new repertoire, studio recording, mastering, physical and/or digital release and international distribution.
The release must be made by an independent label that can guarantee broad international distribution. First-time productions will not be considered. The decision is made by a jury.
If the decision is positive, part of the contribution will go to the musicians and part to the label for the international promotion of the album.
