Working to preserve legacy recordings and provide artists and labels with tools to facilitate ease of transfer, VeVa Sound has announced a ‘multi-component relaunch and rebranding initiative’. Formerly BMS/Chase, VeVa Sound has adopted its new name to represent significantly expanded business endeavours and the opening of a new office in London – joining the firm’s Nashville headquarters and offices in New York and Los Angeles.
VeVa Sound has been in business for 15 years and not only implements industry standards, but creates them, for archiving and metadata collection with organisations including DDEX, The Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing, the Library of Congress, the AES, NDSA and others.
VeVa Sound helps artists and labels preserve and access their recorded work, and via its intuitive searchable online database, provides a simple-to-use tool that verifies, validates and helps monetise recordings, both new and legacy. The rebranding signifies an expansion of all of these services, as well as new initiatives and a more visible presence in the industry and media at large.
‘For more than a decade, we have worked hard in our mission to define, create and implement the standards for how sound recordings are preserved and monetised,’ says VeVa Sound VP, Deborah DeLoach. ‘As BMS/Chace, we have been a highly trusted but often hidden partner, operating behind the scenes and serving record labels and artists with professionalism and efficiency.
‘The time is now right to step out of the shadows and make some noise, and expand our client roster while continuing to offer best-in-class service. Our mission is great, and it affects the entire chain of the music business, from executives to artists and producers to consumers and everyone in between, and it’s worth sharing. Consider us the go-to experts on preservation, archiving and best practices, both in the US and internationally. John Spencer [VeVa Sound President], myself and the rest of the VeVa team are here to both serve our clients and share our expertise and perspective with the world.’
