USE OF RECORDED MUSIC. It is part of the artistic policy of the RSC that music for RSC productions should wherever possible be played live.
11.1. The following applies to productions produced by the RSC within the UK.
11.1.1 The RSC agrees that no reduction or alteration of the original band shall occur when a production transfers to another venue, except in the circumstances of artistic necessity. The definition of artistic necessity shall be the subject of consultation between Director, Composer, and/or Orchestrator, the Head of Music and the Musicians' Union on each occasion where any reduction or alteration is proposed.
11.1.2 Instruments and devices incorporating pre-recorded sounds or providing sound by electronic means may be used provided they do not replace or reduce the employment of conventional instrumentalists where conventional instrumentalists may reasonably be expected to be used.
11.2 Recorded music shall only be used by agreement between the RSC and MU and the MU shall not refuse its agreement to the use of recorded music provided that:
11.2.1 In each case where the use of recorded music is required the RSC informs the MU of the specific nature of the musical requirements.
11.2.2 A recording of a piece of music is used only when the special technical and musical requirements of the production are such that the music required for that production could not be provided in any other way and any other music in the production is played live.
11.2.3 Music for any new recording used by the RSC will be specially recorded by RSC musicians wherever possible.
11.2.4 Music recorded for a specific production is used solely for that production when and wherever it is presented by the RSC, except that music recorded under this Agreement shall not be used in any permanent theatre in the United Kingdom unless musicians engaged by the RSC are also playing live as in the original production.
11.2.5 Such recordings are not used in any country where the appropriate musicians' organisations object. The RSC undertakes to seek the necessary approval and notify the MU.
11.3 Music recorded under the terms of this Agreement shall have a continuous life of two years from the date of its first public performance, which may be extended for a further period of one year by agreement between the RSC and MU whose permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the third year extension is taken up, fifty per cent of the current agreed rate shall be paid to the musicians who made the recording.
