The disruptive shift in music business, mainly caused by a shift in technology often is represented as being dramatically changing the artists' life - "dramatically" as in "horrifying".
But, there are claims hinting to another perspective, opening a much different view: Does music benefit from this change? And how?
Does it result in a mere marginal impact, or is it considered to be a rather broad impact? Something, that might cause for a positive mutation of music business and culture?
After all, what might be the effect in the long run?
This session is hosted by MUSIC NETWORX.
Theme track POLITICS & CULTURE is presented by ZEIT ONLINE.
Turnover in live music increases, that of recorded music decreases - what's wrong? Just a trend?
Can event industry actually help music business, or recorded music specifically? The diversification of event business towards one-stop-service points for artists mixes up roles once more.
Is it of advantage to the artist? What about the labels? Where can they still find their niche?
More importantly – the large cultural basis in creative business: How can non-established artists benefit from these changes in business?
Theme track BUSINESS MODELS is presented by MUSIKWOCHE.
