In actual fact, the answer is no. We are being told that FACTOR and MUSICACTION have sound recording programs, and that is true. However, there is no further money for these programs in future funds. So there is a good chance there may be a greater demand for grants, which will create enormous pressure on these programs. Moreover, these are fundamentally driven by the industry, by more commercial music, which does not work the same way as specialized music. So we have become orphans.
