SunThe music landscape as we know it is largely defined by centralised corporate platforms such as Spotify and Facebook. How has this shaped music culture? What implications do these reliances have on our practices? As an ardent (re)decentralisation movement continues to grow, dissatisfaction with dominant social media platforms heightens, and crypto hype continues, the music industry seems poised for change once again. What possibilities might Web 3.0 offer music? What new practices and politics could it usher in?
Liz Pelly and Mat Dryhurst, both grappling with the streaming economy, platform capitalism, and their ramifications on culture, speak to music journalist Lisa Blanning about the current state of the music industry, and consider possible ways forward.
