Abstract: A system for performance production, distribution and promotion is provided. The system includes a recording phase that may take place in a permanent or mobile recording studio. With the assistance of an operator, an artist creates a recording of a performance, which may include audio-video effects as desired. The recording is then transmitted to the system website where it will be sorted into an artist's member directory. Artists can sign-in to the website to publish their works on an associated member page. Published works are available for website visitors to playback and purchase. Members of the website can communicate with each other and post upcoming events and recording releases to the community and to the public. Thus the system facilitates the production, distribution and promotion of new and undiscovered artists and encourages the growth of the artist community as a whole.

Abstract: A mobile device protective case is provided that facilitates the playback of audio via an imbedded speaker system. The protective case comprises a front portion, a rear portion hingedly secured thereto, an TRS connector auxiliary (AUX) audio jack, a signal processing means, at least one speaker and a power source. The speakers, signal processing means and power source are housed within the rear portion of the case. The AUX jack is electrically connected to the signal processing means such that when connected to a mobile device, audio signals may be sent to the signal processing means and to the speakers. The speakers may be used when the protective case is open or closed. This gives a user the option of enclosing the device in the case to protect the same, or leaving the case open to provide access to the user interface of the device.
