Apparition Productions' Mission Statement
This organization is completely based on the independent ideal. It is run for the sole purpose of developing music in its purist form. There will be free expression and a constant creative flow of ideas. There will be mutual respect and more of a team concept. Constant growth and self development will be the key for our success. No limitations will exist so that all genres can be explored. Ideas are allowed to be expressed so that each representative can have a part to develop the idea in a positive direction. Here we will focus on freedom and development of an artistic community to better each person involved in the project. Here we focus on the highest quality production possible as well as live show entertainment. This is to be done for the greater good of all people involved especially the developers of the music and the listeners. Freedom is our goal and this is true independence. A true celebration for all music lovers!
