future music
An interesting review of some of the mainstream articles regarding the MUDDA formed by Peter Gabriel and Brina Eno. Suffice it to say that this issue is near and dear to my heart as Simpleflower is in the studio right now. I also had a meeting with people from Sony music last week, as we will be working with them as a partner in the Campus Action Network. It is interesting to see how various parts of the industry try and "battle" the problem that the digital technologies have created.
I''ll stay away from my Digidesign, Microsoft, and other rants, but instead just stick to a brief bit on the recording industry. The elephants are still desperately hanging on to a model formed int he 60''s. It''s like ProTools is a "fad" (kinda like the radio industry when TV came along). DIGITAL CHANGES EVERYTHING. THE NETWORK CHANGES EVERYTHING. Sorry to yell, but a lot of people still don''t seem to get it. While we haven''t worked out very much of the real implications and permutations induced by living digital, even the tip of the iceberg is large. And fascinating.
