The modern musician and exponential technologies 

Reality Of The Modern Musician “A lot has changed in the music industry over the last couple of decades. Radio used to be the most common way for people to listen to music and discover new artists. Today, with the incredible rise of digital distribution services and streaming technology, radio has been made almost obsolete and the biggest stations are now struggling to attract audience and generate profit. “ 

“Listening to live music is still incredibly popular, with over 26 million people attending concerts in the UK in 2014.” https://www.richar dvanhooijdonk.com/ en/future-music-ind ustry-technology-ch anging-way-listen-m usic/ 

“It’s not about ownership, it’s about being able to access the music, anytime and anywhere” https://www.richar dvanhooijdonk.com/ en/future-music-ind ustry-technology-ch anging-way-listen-m usic/
