Description The music industry, as with most other media forms, is
in the middle of a period of enormous transformation. Digital
technologies have empowered producers and consumers of music -
traditional ways of making and distributing music are under threat
as musicians and their audiences embrace new opportunities, many of
which bypass the incumbent middlemen. Whilst it is clear that the
music industry is thriving, the traditional recording industry,
dominated by a handful of multinational corporations is struggling
to stay relevant. The changes are so dramatic that the term "Music
2.0" has become commonly used to delineate old and new business
models and approaches. But the demise of the traditional music
industry is overstating things - the reality is that (whilst their
profits may be diminishing) they still dominate a multi-billion
dollar marketplace and exercise unprecedented control over the
star-making process. And, of course, they have the resources to be
able to reinvent themselves. The actual future of music is a
complex and contested one. This book aims to unpack that
complexity, map the changes and explain the causes and motivations
surrounding an industry undergoing change. It explores the world of
popular music from three distinct perspectives. Firstly, it
examines the new opportunities available to consumers of music -
interrogating how the lines between production and consumption are
blurring, creating fans who do much more than just listen to music.
Secondly, it draws on interviews with a diverse range of musicians
explaining their place in the brave new world and trying to
articulate their newly defined roles. Finally, it examines the
industry itself, and unpack the responses to current challenges
from new and old players alike.
When The Book is Dead was first published in 2007, smartphones,
ebooks and social media were yet to take over, and Borders
bookstores still dominated the retail landscape. This reissue
features an updated preface from Sherman Young who brings us up to
speed, arguing enthusiastically for the revival of a vibrant
reading culture, driven by conversations around ideas.
