Agile Music (the Midem Speech)
For those of you who weren’t able to make it to Midem last week here are the text and main graphics from my Midem Visionary Monday speech. Agile Music: Artist Creativity and Music Formats In the Age of Mass Customization Today I want to talk to you about a concept called Agile Music, a framework for understanding how artist creativity, industry business models and music products must all undergo a programme of radical, transformational change.
Après plus d’une décennie de mines défaites, le monde de la musique souffle un peu : le marché mondial a, pour la première fois depuis 1999, stoppé sa chute. Mieux : en 2012, il a progressé d’un tout petit 0,3%, derrière lequel se cachent des mutations jamais vues dans un secteur qui a peiné à s’adapter au tsunami Internet. Désormais, le numérique s’est hissé au rang de candidat valable pour succéder un jour au CD, tandis que de nouveaux marchés prometteurs s’ouvrent. Mais ce chambardement tous azimuts laisse des cadavres sur le bas-côté - dont le service français de téléchargement Beezik, qui a annoncé sa fermeture jeudi -, et se fait aussi au prix d’une hyperconcentration qui pose de nombreuses questions. Une industrie à plusieurs vitesses
L’industrie musicale se remet à flow
We used to listen to music on our mobile devices in private. Now, we share our listening activities to Facebook and show our friends the song we are currently playing. If they want to, they can even tune in and listen with us. Rather than listen to music alone, we now listen together. And of course, we now listen to playlists over albums. Indeed, what once seemed like a utopia to many listeners — having free, ad-supported access to millions of songs on your desktop and paying to take them anywhere you go — has become a new reality.
How Spotify Changed Music
SoundCloud was originally designed to help musicians send songs (or bits of songs) to each other and their “people” within the industry. Maybe that’s why it still has so many users who seem to be either professionally, semi-professionally, or just obsessively involved with music. We hear SoundCloud even has a really cool Fletch ringtone among its many treasures, which include early mixes, remixes, exclusives, mashups, and other super fresh material from various excellent people.

The BPI released its latest trade figures for the British music industry yesterday, revealing that total recorded music trade revenues fell 3.4% to £795.4m in 2011, although digital revenues grew by 24.7% to £281.6m – 35.4% of overall sales. The body says that digital growth is now offsetting two thirds of the decline in income from sales of physical recorded music.

Etats-Unis: Il est légal de revendre sa musique numérique
A l'époque des vinyls ou des CD, on pouvait en toute légalité revendre un disque pour lequel on n'avait plus d'intérêt. Cette possibilité a disparu avec la musique légalement acquise, qui est attachée de manière irrévocable à l'identité de celui qui l'a acquise, interdisant de fait toute revente. Une jurisprudence aux Etats-Unis pourrait remettre en question ce bel édifice qui ne peut que faire les affaires de majors.
Musique et possession : ce que veulent les fans
Apprendre à connaître vos fans, les engager en offrant de la musique accessible, voici les seules choses dont vous devriez vous préoccuper pour provoquer le passage à l'acte. Depuis mon adolescence, je suis obsédé par ma collection de musique. Je rangeais méticuleusement mes cassettes et CD étiquetés à la main, et j’aimais ça.
Digital music caught the record labels off guard and smashed their business to pieces, and from the rubble new economic realities are emerging.

Most mobile music services use pay-per-track and subscription-based pricing models, but some operators have started offering music services bundled with their mobile subscriptions. Full tracks are sometimes thrown in as a “free” extra to motivate people to take out a mobile subscription or data plan or to top up their prepaid credit.Article mis à jour le mercredi 2 mai 2012 Article créé le lundi 4 avril 2011
