Technology has drastically changed the music business and shaped musicians’ production, sharing, and experience of their work. From the emergence of digital music to the growth of streaming services, it has changed our connection to music.
The Impact of Digital Disruption on Music
Here is the impact of technology in music:
Digital Disruption
The established physical music market has been upended by the emergence of digital music platforms such as iTunes and Spotify.
People now mostly consume music via streaming platforms, so democratizing access to an enormous catalogue of tunes.
Independent musicians have been able to interact straight with their fans thanks to sites like Bandcamp and Patreon. Affordable tools and equipment for production have also helped musicians develop and distribute their work more easily.
The Evolution of Music
Artificial intelligence is producing music, customised playlists, and improving the listening experience by means of its applications.
Virtual and augmented reality are allowing immersive technology to present fresh opportunities for live events and musical experiences.
Concluding Statement
The music business will surely suffer more disturbance and change as long as technology develops. One thing is certain, though: music will always be a potent force tying people and cultures together all around.
