Technology makes more music available therefore making "good" music less findable.
I think record companies will die with technology too, and artists will just start hosting their own music, the same way newspapers host their own news.

I don't think so there are still bands who plays their musical instruments along with them, technology had just improved the instruments but the heart of music will remain unbeatable.
I think Magdalene Amat's comment is right on the money. There is clearly a resource gap.
While it's been proven that artists can circumvent labels with great success there is so much more to it than just laying down tracks and putting them on iTunes (or whatever) as you mentioned.
I see an opportunity for an exciting business sector to form here - one that would manage the business aspects of an artist's career but still leave the artist with the creative control. This provides independence from the "fat cats" who are just interested in what will sell today and keeps the fans stocked with great music.
The expansion of alternate distribution and marketing channels is another key advantage - but again should be managed by support staff - not the artist.
I can't wait to hear more from you on this topic. Again, great article.

Well depends on how you look at it... new affordable software applications have enabled indie artists to create better quility music with lower capital. Before such software you would need a full studio to produce anything decent.

No way technology never kills the music because now a days without using any latest software you can't get any good and quality music.
Instead of killing technology will help music a lot.

Getting involved with the record industry is daunting, I know, but the solutions lie within. The record industry has been around since the 19th century for a reason.

Technology will never kill music: the people behind it will. This is the reason why we should be alert and use technology for its progress rather than bring it down. We need good music same thing as we need to love our mother earth. Never do things that will harm both.

Change is inevitable and we can't do anything but embrace it once it comes. The death of the music industry will have its sacrifices, but at the same time it will be bringing out more and better offerings than it usually had.

It ain't impossible. But right now, you can see that lots of artists are getting independent and make their own music than the usual dependence on recording companies.

it's becoming more and more imperative that teachers begin to integrate these technologies into their classrooms, ESPECIALLY in music. The thoughts you give towards how that can be done, and on the considerations in doing so! I am so glad I had the opportunity to hear the panel discussion.

They bring a fresh perspective about current music trends, and they do what they’re told. They are usually impressionable and are therefore a good minion who has gained the band’s trust and are willing to do the label’s dirty work.
Thanks and Regards

Is there a middle ground? Enough to take away the "management" burden from the band, but not too much that that the profits vanish? The "man" and the "individual" need to work together, so that both "profit" and that we win too.

technology won't kill good music. it gives tools to artists in a state of independence.
death of 'music industry' could result in more good music. i don't think it would hurt cd baby, or the residents (band) for example.
The managing or the "administrative" duties of promoting the band, the music etc get in the way of the creative process.
But then if there is too much "management", then there go the profits.

Excellent article Calley. Thanks.
i heard a reference that less than 1% of independent films (made without any studio financing) actually make it into theaters.
lots of creative films rarely seen are just waiting for smart people to help market and monetize... same with music.
seems like there is more opportunity than ever for business folks, artists and engineers to collaborate to distribute great art and music.
You'd really enjoy "The Problem with Music" by Steve Albini.
