Vision of the Venture

Before I articulate the vision of this entrepreneurial venture, I'll lay out a brief statement of how I see my role in this huge world. It's something I came up with at a vocational seminar two years ago, and it still holds well:

"I guide and connect people in experiencing and expressing joy, beauty, creativity, and community."

There are many ways to carry out that mission, and I have chosen music composition (or it chose me) as the way to guide and connect people.

Therefore, the vision is as follows....

________________________________________________________________

Exploding Tulip Productions will be the entity primarily responsible for managing complete music catalog of Megan Storm. The music products will include stunningly beautiful and exciting works for choir, symphonic winds, and (if the market still exists) full orchestra. In addition to concert works, Exploding Tulip Productions will own the intellectual property developed in other relationships such as film scores and music developed for the game industry. The company will also manage the arrangements for guest conductor, clinician, and festival appearances at the national and international level for Ms. Storm. As the company reaches financial and artistic maturity, it will manage the creation of a series of theatrical works in the genre of opera electronica.

The specific functions of the company include:
* Providing physical and educational support necessary to maintain optimal production of exquisite music
* Managing production and distribution of physical products (sheet music, CD production) by forming alliances
* Development and maintenance the website and other marketing campaigns
* Managing commissions
* Developing collaborative artistic relationships
* Negotiating arrangements for clinics, lectures, and festival appearances (internationally)
* Managing intellectual property issues
* Collecting the checks ;)

The company will rely heavily on strong alliances and entrepreneurial ingenuity to manage all aspects of the venture.
