Submit project proposals by e-mail to inger@aurorarecords.no. The email should contain a description of:

• Artistic project

• Contributor

• Audio files describing the project. It can be recordings from rehearsals, concerts or other recordings that give an impression of artistic direction.

• Progress plan

• Description of the financial situation: which expenditure items must be covered/already covered, how much funding has been obtained as of today's date, etc.

​

​

Aurora Records has an artistic council consisting of the project managers and two external members who sit on the council for a term of years. As of 2024, these members are the composers Tine Sure Lange and Nils Henrik Asheim.

 

• There is an ongoing application deadline. The Council meets approximately once a quarter to discuss submitted proposals.

• When the council assesses projects, it looks for uniqueness in the artistic profile and curation of the album repertoire. Aurora wants to represent a diversity of aesthetic trends.

• If the council gives a commitment to a project, the project managers will make contact and arrange an initial meeting for a status update and to draw up a progress plan.

What you can expect:

• Funding must be provided by the performer/composer through public support schemes or own funds. Aurora Records has no production assets, but is helpful with agreements of intent and guidance in the application process.

• Because Aurora does not enter into publishing projects with its own funds, license agreements are usually agreed in which the performer/composer is the master owner.

• Aurora coordinates between external suppliers such as sound technicians, designers, printers and distributors. The performer/composer must expect to be an active initiator and project manager in his own publishing project.

• Aurora's music is distributed digitally via The Orchard and physically via Musikkoperatorene, Proper Music UK and Galileo Music.

• Aurora contributes with a plan for the launch of the publication, newsletter distribution, social media and contact with the press.
