The Future Of Music Business Models (And Those Who Are Already There) I'm at the Midem conference this week, and in preparing for it, Steven Masur asked me to write up a chapter for a book he was putting together of thoughts from various thinkers for a gathering of the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers (IAEL) here at Midem.

The Future Of Music Business Models (And Those Who Are Already There)

Below is what I submitted. If you're a regular reader of the blog, there's little that will surprise you, but even so, it may be a good read, as it's got a whole bunch of different things I've discussed about -- things like "CwF+RtB" all summarized in one single place. Later, I'll do another post on what I discussed this year at Midem, since it builds on what's written below, and digs in much deeper on how to create compelling reasons to buy. It's no secret that there's a lot of concern these days about what the music industry will look like going forward -- especially from those who work on the label side of the business and have been around for a bit.

A variety of things have caused rapid change in the market. DJ Of The Week: Pierce Fulton. The Elite understand from an early age the natural way of the real world, where true success is reserved only for the most ambitious, hard working, undefeatable men-of-action.

DJ Of The Week: Pierce Fulton

There are those who fantasize about their life dreams and then there are the select few with the balls to act today on vigorously building towards those aspirations through whatever passion or talent they possess. An Elite entrepreneur is the latter of these two, and in the rapidly-expanding industry of EDM, Pierce Fulton has taken these characteristics to heart as he redefines the meaning of the word “pioneer”. The 19 year old University of Vermont sophomore found his passion for producing electronic music only three years ago – and after his internet-posted tracks skyrocketed into popularity – Pierce eventually signed with Cr2 Records: a feat not easily accomplished given the company’s history of making EDM legends, like Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, and more.

And that is what makes Pierce Fulton interesting. 1. Doper Than Cereal: Artist Spotlight: Uppermost. The Pulse of Electronic Music. Step Collective: Uppermost Interview. I've been making music for around five years. Self taught, I had guitar lessons for one year when I was 11 but I hated the music theory side so I left. Then after a few years I discovered electronic music production and started learning from forums, tutorials, experimenting. I don't really know about the inspiration, things around me, people, nature, a silent pain, I feel these emotions and I try to express them through music.

It's like I am witnessing my own music, like I should just be the messenger of emotions that are traveling through me. I like artists like Burial, Daft Punk, Apparat, Incise, Moderat. Freedom. Well, to be honest it all started two years ago in some kind of desperate move, I came out of a big issue with a label management, I lost belief in the music industry after spending all my time working with lawyers just to keep myself free as an artist. Mint tea. I use FL Studio with a basic laptop and external screen. Where I'd like to see it... that's one hard question. MASS EDMC.
