According to the International Federation of
the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), global digital music sales have
experienced increasing double digit growth for the past four years;
generally between 15-25%. (IFPI, 2012) According to SharpBrains, (an
independent market research firm and innovation
think tank), similar growth is evidenced in the Brain Fitness Software
market. (SharpBrains; PRWEB, 2010) Art of Pop is a startup focused on
generating diverse content for both markets.
The Company
Art of Pop (AoP) is a music entertainment and brain fitness software startup. It's inventory is generated
by the creative output of the
founder, (self-contained,
electronica singer/songwriter and recording artist,) Michaele Alyras de Cygne; thus,
effectively, AoP is both an
artist and a record label; an Artist/Label. Art
of Pop's inventory is
sold directly
to consumers, and globally distributed through online retailers; the
company is also positioned to operate in collaboration with other labels
and
companies,
through licensing, profit sharing and M&D relationships.
The
Company Structure
AoP is fundamentally structured like a typical record
label, with an "artist roster" of five "Profiles"; Alyras, Iluvamil, de Cygne, Dark
Mother and Elvëa
Systems. Together, they enable the
company to supply content to Pop, Dance, Jazz and
Inspirational music and consciousness enhancement/brain fitness media providers,
distributors and consumers in North and South
American, European, African, Asian and Australian
markets. AoP's profiles are:
|
Alyras is the
company's primary commercial entity. Alyras'
creative focus is International Pop. |
|
Iluvamil is AoP's
most enchanting profile. Its creative focus is
Dance, exclusively with a positive, spiritual
message and in Quenya, the High Language of the
Elves from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings"
series. |
|
Although
it's third in the company's roster, de Cygne is the
powerhouse of the organization, out of which come
AoP's overall vision and all its inventory production. As an
AoP music profile, de Cygne's specific musicale
focus is Jazz, Bossa Nova and (wordless) vocalise in particular. |
|
Creatively,
the
company's Dark Mother profile provides chants designed to
facilitate palliative care and solace for persons
transiting the depths of life's darkest, most
challenging experiences. DarkMother.com LLC also serves as the
company's avenue for investors to directly
participate in and be enriched by the company, (via the purchasing of securities.) |
|
Elvëa Systems produces unique, and dynamic consciousness enhancement and Brain Fitness Software providing direct, perfectly
balanced, enduring cognitive and consciousness
enhancement. Elvëa Systems' software is
based in the Tzolkin, (the Mayan Sacred Calendar),
expressing the Tzolkin's Code in sound and light. Principally, Elvëa Systems' software is designed to
effect dynamic synaptic generation, marketed for all
persons who seek to generally enhance their brain
and neurological function; focused on persons
recovering from brain trauma, stroke and other
conditions benefited by highly mentally stimulating
activity. Additionally, its software is developed to dynamically
affect focused consciousness enhancement, irrespective
of the individual's spiritual orientation. |
Combined
as Art of Pop, the whole is greater than the sum of
its parts. AoP is organized to be a world class brand
relative to music, media, stage and merchandising,
operating throughout the universe. The company has just completed its
foundational and product development stages and currently is at the beginning of its Growth Phase. Having
successfully implemented a solid foundation through
small, albeit competitive beginnings, the company is
now ready to focus on seriously advancing its operations. To do so, the company requires investment.

International Investors: Invest in Art of
Pop and Obtain Permanent U.S. Residency (Green Card)!
Through its EB-5
program, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service will extend a U.S
Green Card to every international investor who will invest at least
$500,000.00 in Art of Pop. The program "was designed to encourage
foreign investors to create jobs by starting a new business or preserve
jobs by investing in money-losing businesses. If they agree to invest
$1 million, foreigners can get a visa, apply for green cards, and
become conditional permanent residents. After two years, provided
they've made good on their promise to invest, created 10 jobs (family
members don't count), and the business is still an ongoing concern,
they can apply to have those conditions removed. And after five years
with a green card, holders can apply for citizenship." (1)
Art of Pop is inviting qualified international investors to be enriched
(via the company's financial return and the U.S. government's EB-5
benefit) by investing $1M in the company to enable it to create 10 jobs
in the next two years and to build AoP into an highly successful global
enterprise.
