ZKettle

The function of the ZKettle to act as a melting pot enabling writers of songs, novels, biographies, artists and illustrators, musicians, producers, vocalists, etc. to collaborate by viewing, adapting, and sharing their work together. Email us below and we will introduce you to a writer/artist collaboration by sending your writing or artistic work to others where we believe there is a potential for cooperation and make the musical or artistic work of others available to you. This will be done under your direction and in a manner which protects your business interests. You may elect to release in non-proprietary MuZook video, audio and/or text formats or in our proprietary MuZook multimedia linked text and music format, a new art form designed to sell ebooks with embedded components enabling readers to purchase music which is related to and supports the story. MuZook proprietary multimedia is a novel with its own soundtrack… not a score, but a soundtrack with either newly written songs produced and developed specifically for chapters within the author’s novel or previously released period or genre music embedded from published songs.

The ZKettle works in conjunction with our partner companies including Iron Toad Records for any new material written and produced with another partner company, Studio 23 and Mark Dreyer Productions in Nashville, Tennessee. Recording sessions take place in our Nashville studios or Iron Toad Records Studio in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Filming can be done from recording sessions and include performance videos from artists and documentary film embellishments and commentary from the musicians and authors.

Musicians at the top of their field in the music industry perform on original new song material.
