For Potential Investors
Zenph® Studios, Inc was founded as a C Corporation in 2002. Using sophisticated
computer technology, the services and software products we’re developing
will significantly change how music is created, analyzed, and preserved.
Zenph
Studios is a section 1202 Qualified Small Business Stock.
North Carolina investors are eligible for the 25% state
Qualified Business Venture (QBV) tax credit. We have raised a seed round
of funding from private investors.
Key for us in this new technology is showing excellent results
with piano recordings, which have large archives, a devoted global
audience (think of all the piano students), and very critical listeners.
Classical and jazz recordings accounted for around US$2.5 B
in sales last year, 8% of the worldwide market. Solo piano releases
are about 10% of that. The USA represents one-third of the total market,
with sales growing rapidly in Asia; in fact, more jazz recordings are
sold in Japan than anywhere else. 75% of all music recordings today are
released by the Big Four labels: Sony BMG, EMI, Universal, and Warner
Music.
Our initial commercial offering is a service to record labels and
recording studios, where we extract note-perfect performances
of their existing recordings. These can be re-performed and re-recorded
with modern equipment, creating new audio master recordings - to which they
own the new copyright. We are provided with copyrighted source recordings,
for which we create high-resolution performance files. We return
either the newly-created performance file or new
master audio recordings. And, imagine the many forms new master
recordings can take,
including versions tailored for download and headphone listening, or
high-definition surround sound for home theaters or satellite radio.
In our contracts we look like a cross between an artist and
a record producer, receiving a combination of fixed fees and a portion
of the royalty stream of the release.
Our first Big Four label agreement calls for 18 albums of timeless
jazz and classical
re-performances®.
