Music Stimulants

Every month musicians and music lovers are invited to share in a stimulating discussion about today’s music followed by a live performance.

Tuesday April 27

Topic: Models are hot

For musicians these days, there is a sobering reality about the distribution of music content; wake up and smell the peer-to-peer! How can you ask for the cake and get to eat it too? This panel will explore new models of distribution, collaboration and commerce emerging around music in the digital age. It’s one thing for Girl Talk, Nine Inch Nails and Yoko Ono to give away their music, but what about at the other end of the scale? The panel will discuss new opportunities in the changed media environment, using Melbourne band Ancient Free Gardeners as a case study.
