Always happy to give my $.02 to NPR - there are so many sustainability issues with respect to music/musicians. this issue that SoundExchange has been fighting the good fight on for some time is a big one. obviously, there are other pressing issues - Spotify’s moral bankruptcy, companies building enterprise value on the back of musicians’ work w/o anywhere near appropriate compensation or consideration, entrepreneurs with no concern for artist sustainability with respect to AI etc…. all that - doom and gloom - said, there is still hope. For instance, a new Bandcamp is there for the taking for someone who presents an artist-centric approach; and new technologies, whether AI or web3, do not have to be detrimental to artists, and in fact can be hugely positive sum for artists and entrepreneurs. certainly been my bias/life’s work.
Sadly, what Berklee College of Music professor of Music Business George Howard tells NPR is 100% true. But it doesn’t have to be – Join musicFIRST in urging Congress to pass the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA)!

Read here: https://lnkd.in/e7cQqagv #musiceducation #arts #creativity [Alt text: Quote graphic. Text reads - For schools to produce well-rounded individuals ready to enter society, they should be looking to nurture the whole person, and that includes the opportunity for creativity through music.]

If we’re being honest, when it comes to marketing in the classical music industry we all look and sound the same. Whether it’s the same copy-and-paste “delighted to announce” text, unimaginative event posters, or slide show season announcement videos, very little differentiates us from each other. This is something that affects the entire industry, from music students to international soloists, from amateur groups to professional orchestras. It’s the same template-style promotion that fails to showcase who we are, why we do it, or why it would be of interest to anyone. https://lnkd.in/e5zurjXN #Classical #ClassicalMusic #Orchestra #Opera #Audiences #Marketing

Do you ever wonder how today's music has evolved into such a diverse and boundary-pushing art form? One possible answer is incorporating Jazz, Funk, and Blues into modern music. These genres have not only influenced the sound of music today but have also contributed to the creative experimentation we witness in contemporary music. So, the innovations from the Jazz, Funk, and Blues eras have significantly shaped the music we love today.

New Post: Want a Daytime Emmy in a Music Category? The Academy Has Some Tasks for You - https://lnkd.in/gZy_vATV - The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced some rule changes on Thursday (Feb. 1), which include requiring potential nominees in music categories to supply more information. Related Kelly Clarkson Is a Double Winner Again at 2023 Daytime Emmys 02/01/2024 “For categories identified as music categories (these are music direction and composition and original song in the Daytime Emmys), nominees will be REQUIRED to provide complete publishing information and sign an additional NATAS-issued licensing agreement allowing NATAS to use the music featured in the ceremony clip(s),” the Academy said in a statement. “The information will be distributed to nominees only. Failure to provide adequate information AND proper contact information for a legally authorized signer will result in a different clip being selected or replacement of the music with rights-cleared music at NATAS’ discretion.” The emphasis on the words “required” and “and” was in the original directive from the Academy. At the 2023 Daytime Emmys Creative Arts Ceremony in December, Jennifer Nettles and Bill Sherman won outstanding original song for “Life Is Sweet” from American Anthems (PBS). A platoon of 10 composers won outstanding music direction and composition for Home (Apple TV+). Just being considered for a Daytime Emmy isn’t cheap. Entry fees for program categories are $425 with a late fee of $500. Entry fees for performer, host and craft categories are $350 with a late fee of $400. Here’s the timeline for the 51st annual Daytime Emmys: Feb. 1 – Open for submissions/judging sign-ups Feb. 22 – Entry deadline March 7 – Late entry deadline March 21-April 11 – Judging for all entries Week of April 15 – Nominations announced - ----------------------------------------------------- Download: Stupid Simple CMS - https://lnkd.in/g4y9XFgR

The link between creative industries and historic buildings is often talked about but the reality is inspiration and innovation need context and catalyst. In performative arts how you, the audience, experiences it is key to how you appreciate it. Being able to be that close to ‘the next big thing’ in an atmosphere designed to inspire you to engage was a critical part of a band’s evolution, let alone the repetition of curating your art through repetitive practice (as discussed by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers in respect of the Beatles in Hamburg). It would be interesting to map how many of those 23 were in historic buildings.
The sobering reality that only 11 of the 34 grassroots music venues that Oasis played on their first tour still exist today. Gone are 23 spaces that took a punt on a new band from Manchester who would become one of the most iconic in British music history. That's 23 communities that aren't getting the chance to hear the chords of the next 'Definitely Maybe' for the first time. Let’s protect the sacred live music spaces we have in the UK, ensuring that both fans and the next generation of superstars have the same opportunities Oasis had.
