Welcome to our new websites!

Today TONO launches new websites. We hope you will find them useful, informative and inspiring!

Former visitors to tono.no will see that much is different here now. Many months of work have resulted in today's milestone.

Clearer and simpler!
– With the new website, we hope to make it easy to understand what TONO is. Information should be easy to understand, both for existing and potential members, TONO's customers and society at large. We want to make it clear that TONO is owned and controlled by music creators, and in this way to dispel some myths, for example expressions such as the "TONO fee". We hope and believe that in this way we will both maintain and strengthen understanding of both copyright, the TONO fee and the importance of good framework conditions for those who write music, says TONO's communications manager, Willy Martinsen.

As part of the effort to explain more clearly what TONO is, a comprehensive "About TONO" section has also been prepared, where you will find a lot of information about TONO's background, history, organizational structure, financial conditions and the like.

TONO magazine
TONO has published the members' magazine for several decades. TONO-News on paper. This has now been discontinued in favor of "TONO Magazine".

– We are not going to compete with other music news media, but we believe in the power of good stories, and we believe that increased knowledge about music creation will create increased understanding of the necessity of caring for and valuing music creators. At the same time, we want to inspire new music to be created in Norway, and we hope TONO-Magasinet can be a small contribution to that. We hope TONO-Magasinet will find a place in the consciousness of all of you who belong to TONO, but also of other music enthusiasts, says Martinsen.

The project group behind the new website consisted of Bjørn Gabrielsen, Rose Marie Dobrowitz, Stig Sætre and Glenn Bjermeland in addition to communications manager Willy Martinsen. TONO has received good help from the advertising agency in working on the new website. Hey, who has been our external partner in the work.
