What is the name of your state? **California**
Artist 1 solely creates musical track recorded in home studio. Track is taken to outside studio where 1st & 2nd artist add previously created vocals. cost to complete recording is paid for by 3rd party.
Does 3rd party have rights to sound recording?
Considered joint work or collective work? musical track intended for another work?
If 1 artist creates track & vocals- 2nd artist creates vocals would artist 2 have the right to license the music? No artist contract in place. Artist is now deceased all music released without mechanical licenses. Contract was a pressing & distribution license between distributor & each production co. owned by artist. Contract states that finished masters which are solely owned by producers will be released within 6 months. This shows producer ownership yet another paragraph reads "masters will remain joint property of distro/label and production companies in perpetuity. Studio recorded 1st artist while rehearsing in vocal booth which was released on the re-re-release of artist 2's solo work yet under group name. no monies or statements recvd since the 1st release in 2001.
Sole beneficiary
