About Us

MAKING AUDITORY THAT, WHICH IS INVISIBLE

Founded in 2016, Brigantine Avenue Records provides professional music composition, audio/video recording, and publishing services within the continental United States.

MISSION STATEMENT
Brigantine Avenue Records is committed to producing professionally directed musical works including (but not limited to) those that bring modern-day abuses of the environment, animals, marine-life, and people to the forefront of our thoughts, politics, and actions.

“The idea of killing defenseless, majestic game animals calling it ‘sport’ … harpooning whales in the open ocean or cutting the fins from live sharks and calling it a ‘just harvest’ is a warped manifestation of thought.

Our having the gift of life and freedom, by nature, establishes us as shepherds of this planet and its inhabitants.

How dare we act otherwise.” – Roberto Domino Basile

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ARTIST PERFORMANCE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Brigantine Avenue Records maintains a dedicated public commitment to ethical practices in every corner of its business practices. One of the many byproducts of that commitment is the proper acknowledgment of artists and their works. This includes the correct and conspicuous uttering and/or posting of artist names where appropriate (e.g., sheet music, public performances, etc.). The commitment extends to the proper licensing of copyrighted works as listed on our song licensing page.

To help encourage such transparency, detailed, individual contributions regarding musical works that Brigantine Avenue Records has allowed internal or external collaboration on has been captured and catalogued. Due to the complexity of the works (orchestration, lyrics, chord progressions, etc.), simply attributing names of the composers to a musical work does not allow for a definitive acknowledgement of the specific artistic contributions. The information therein provides an objective picture of ‘who contributed what’ to each musical work listed. Questions or comments concerning such contributions can be directed to: rdb@87records.biz.
